If HD -DVD survives 2008 (doubtful)...

[Elandyll]

... They will be obliterated in 2009 anyway.
So why the fight?

I mean, look at the movie lineup of 2009 from Blu-Ray exclusive studios:


Pixar Animation Studio:
John Carter of Mars.
A Sci-Fi pulp Epic/Space opera from the makers of Nemo and The Incredibles? Sign me up already!

Walt Disney Feature Animation:
Rapunzel
The Princess and the Frog.

Two classics of Fairy Tales, which we haven't seen in a long time from Disney.
No doubt big time familly winners.

Buena Vista:
Prince of Persia, Sands of time
Fragglerock, the movie
Can it get any better for kid/ familly movies ?

Sony Columbia:
Bond 22 (end of 08)
Spiderman 4 (possible, in talks)
Metal Gear Solid

successor to Escape from New York on top of Spidey ? Heck yeah !

And the best for the end (the nail in HD DVD's coffin), with the most awaited movies in years:

Fox:
24 <movie)
Magneto
Xmen Origins: Wolverine

but mostly the return of James Cameron with not one but -2- blockbusters!
Battle Angel Alita
and
Avatar


And if HD DVD Fans still hope that those companies will go neutral, think about it. Why would they?
Blu Ray outsells HD DVD by 2:1 or more, and even outsells it when the biggest (exclusive) and one of the 3 most anticipated movie of the year is released on the opposing format, with no real new releases against it?
Supporting both formats cost money (hence the desire of Paramount to adopt only one, the $150M bribe then deciding which they chose for a mere 18 months).

So .. let's get real and chose the format that can -actually- win instead of dragging this out, shall we?
