don't know anything but the obvious.

read our trusted insider's comments and know how business' react to things and the way the will word things and it will all be obvious i think.

no, i don't know any 100% inside inforamtion or any insider information than anybody on this board doesn't have access to.

OMG - I just got a tingly sensation! Please god - tell me it's true!!!!

dperrone · 01-07-2008, 02:26 PM

Let's HOPE !!! C'mon Universal

richard lichtenfelt · 01-07-2008, 02:30 PM

I agree with stockstar1138. These companies won't want to be left on the sideline while blu-ray sales explode from all those people jumping off of the fence.
These studios have stock and sales performances to consider.

jimmy242 · 01-07-2008, 02:33 PM

i think universal might stay a lil longer but by summer this year they will be neutral.

GregBlu5 · 01-07-2008, 02:35 PM

The future IS Blu and whichever companies are not part of that ARE going to be left behind.

I won't be a bit surprised that Universal jumps aboard quite soon. (As I've said in other posts, we're likely to be quite surprised at the rapidity of these announcements and changes. Stock's right!)

I could see that they might feel so bad for toshiba after losing wb, if they stay with hd who evers incharge should be fired we would buy way more movies then them

mystiksuicide · 01-07-2008, 02:37 PM

I don't think Universal will go blu during the CES. Weinstein on the other hand has been rumored for some time now.

SpikesBluBlooded · 01-07-2008, 02:41 PM

I agree, if they don't announce neutrality soon, they will be left behind as people start snatching up blu-ray players and getting into hi-def media. And does anyone expect Paramount/Dreamworks to change their tune at CES?

From what I have heard Weinstein has stopped releasing HD DVDs because of financial trouble. They needed to cut costs and they determined HD DVD wasn't profitable. I dont see why it would be any different now for Blu.

there will be money given to weinstein to help them get their blu-ray production/transfering up and running. at least thats the rumor

im going to list of some reasons why i think Universal is going blu really soon.

1. Penton has hinted at it
2. In HD DVDs darkest hour, Universal has "no comment" about future support.
3. They have been seen checking out blu-ray plants
4. While I believe that PR sent out yesterday was about a week old. Graffeo did not reaffirm support or comment on the situation. Either way Universal has yet to say they are still supporting HD DVD and we have heard nothing out of Graffeo regarding the situation which is odd, given he is HD DVD's biggest PR spinner.
5. Surely Universal was going to announce some titles and give some release dates at the conference yesterday. I know it was cancelled, but Universal should have sent out a PR stating what they plan on bringing to HD DVD by now. Fox did it immeidately after the Paramount switc, so the fact that Universal hasn't done it in the 72 hours since the WB is not right.
6. They have openly admitted GE has been putting pressure on them to support blu-ray.

Those are all valid points. Can't wait for the next domino to fall

DrinkMore · 01-07-2008, 03:08 PM

If Universal know's what's good for them - they will jump on the Blu wagon ASAP!

owa · 01-07-2008, 03:12 PM

Seems like sound reasoning to me. Hope you're right.

Curumo · 01-07-2008, 03:44 PM

i don't think there's doubt at all - UNI will surely go at least neutral very soon... but i wonder about Paramount, WTF they're gonna do?? they simply CAN NOT go neutral because of the famous bribery agreement... they will simpy stay, and watch money passing by them... how sad, but they deserved it!
