Let the domino effect begin.

This is probably the event for which P/DW would have an escape clause.

I'm pretty certain the dominoes will start falling very quickly now. P/DW, Uni, all of them. And poor Weinstein will not even be noticed when the giants start to change their colors...

thank the gods for proxies or I would miss the bitter tears on hddigest

hollywoodguy · 01-04-2008, 08:18 PM

I was away from the PC for an hour. Anything happen?

Oh, that...

Maybe we shouldn't celebrate too early. Disney could go neutral at CES and then we'd be back to square one.

I think the P Man and crew of informed haidressers are busy beating up a certain "insider"

gandley · 01-04-2008, 08:19 PM

BIG THANKS TO THE BD INSIDERS FOR HINTING THIS WAS COMING.

JasonS · 01-04-2008, 08:19 PM

Thank you Insiders for all of your updates during this process! I think I speak for everyone on these boards when I say that today is the happiest day of this whole war for all of us and we couldn't have done it without your constant updates and news! Keep up the good work!

Living Near Shamu · 01-04-2008, 08:19 PM

I almost want to cry and hug everyone. This is our New Year's Celebration! The ball has dropped on HD DUD! I jumped up with my arms raised while at work and everyone started looking at me funny.

Pellaeon · 01-04-2008, 08:20 PM

YES

WEEEE----HAAAAAAA........ ! ! !!!!!!!

Warner is BLU at last !

I think Penton knew this was coming !

g.k. · 01-04-2008, 08:21 PM

CONGRATS

To Penton, paidgeek, kjack, talk, Max, and anyone I missed.

Good job, guys.

elwaylite · 01-04-2008, 08:22 PM

I'd assume that everyone is calling this the end because no BD studio would go neutral now, and Univ and Para will have to rethink.

Any other snags to consider that would draw this war out?

I guess its time to dust off the ebay account for the A2 and my 10 movies(5 free that never arrived

)

ottscay · 01-04-2008, 08:22 PM

What's particularly encouraging is that Penton has NOT used his 1000th post yet. Is something more universal to come???

P.S. Ookie, don't take this the wrong way but since your pledge about streaking I've never wanted to see a grown man naked and smeared in Blu paint so much in my life...

JasonS · 01-04-2008, 08:24 PM

Universal has to go Neutral now and what about Paramount? Does their contract allow them to get out when something like this happens?

Sonar5 · 01-04-2008, 08:24 PM

Awesome baby.....

Ok, now we should track the sales on ebay, and how long until those coasters track below $20.

Just a thought.

Slec · 01-04-2008, 08:24 PM

Engadget is saying "quite a sum" was paid to make this happen. it's worth every penny if true!!! Supposedly they'll update when they have details...

http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/w...ray-exclusive/

Go Blu!

Heh fair enough.

I do want to say hats off to our insiders, they took the high road through this whole thing and sat on the information.
They really are unsung heroes through out all of this.

I saw that quote by David and it's class act.

I still won't buy a blu-ray player. I won't spend more than $100 for half finished inferior beta technology backed by a company the likes of Sony.

Time to move on to direct downloads now I guess. Anyone know a good deal on Vudu players?
