60 Minutes / Blu segment - Blu-ray Forum

PanamaMarco · 02-17-2008, 10:48 PM

Hey Guys,

I am watching CBS Evening News not 60 minutes and they are talking about BLU.

It's about 45 min in and they are saying HD is gone.

WOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWO.

molarkid · 02-17-2008, 10:52 PM

Saw the same broadcast. I believe that was a CBS Evening News report. Only had info that we've known for a long time. Rest of general public may not care.

clyon · 02-17-2008, 10:53 PM

Cool, just set my dvr so I don't forget...

Bizi Jones · 02-17-2008, 10:57 PM

wow someone actually watches 60 min

powersfoss · 02-17-2008, 11:06 PM

My DVR is set!

molarkid · 02-17-2008, 11:10 PM

I don't think this is on 60 Minutes. The report was part of the CBS Evening News.

bigdaddymars · 02-17-2008, 11:13 PM

cbs is owned by viacom who also own paramount

Blu Titan · 02-17-2008, 11:26 PM

Nice to see the mainstream news channels reporting on the events.

PeteS · 02-17-2008, 11:27 PM

Right, this news is going far and wide, but the official announcements 'in the next few days' (probably) will be even bigger.

Did I mention it's on 60 minutes???

Next time please dont just assume it's incorrect before you post.

I saw the EXACT report on the CBS Evening News at the same time of your first post. I just finished watching 60 Minutes (after the Evening News ), and I did not see ANYTHING on the Blu-Ray Report (unless Andy Rooney carrying on about a dog show somehow was a secret encoding to tell Universal and Paramount to give up HD-DVD). I'm not sure, but from my point of view my first post was very factual!

Heresy · 02-18-2008, 12:06 AM

There was nothing about HD-DVD/Blu-Ray in the 60 minutes I just watched; just the drug story, Denmark story, conductor story and Andy Rooney. There is a video on the CBS Evening News website though: http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_vi...ayer3420.shtml

Post format war

Thanks for the link. I love how the interviewer could barely get his tongue around the phrase "HD-DVD" and actually stumbled on it at one point. Blu-ray flows so much better in so many ways.

I agree, it really doesn't matter. I was trying to give those who set their DVR to 60 minutes a heads up. Then a poster tells me that I was wrong? I never post info without knowing for sure? That's why I repsonded. Enough said.

Can verify that it was on the CBS Evening News (which is a good thing, I think more people watch that than 60 Minutes). Too bad the report ended on kind of a downer saying downloaded movies may be poised to take over, making the format war kind of moot (which couldn't be farther from the truth; downloads are a long way off).

molarkid · 02-18-2008, 12:59 AM

I got a kick from the guy who went out and bought both formats just to cover both bases.

I hope he did that in the fall, not recently.

hc666 · 02-18-2008, 01:07 AM

Damn i missed it but did turn to CBS to watch BB9.

crystal_sun · 02-18-2008, 01:10 AM

at least Blu-Ray didn't have to spend 3 mil for 30 seconds commercial

PanamaMarco · 02-18-2008, 01:11 AM

Sorry guys for the mistake, down here in Panama the tv guide does not match the show at certain times.

It said 60 minutes but was not......once again sorry.
