Are you SURE you aren't asking me to comment on things I can't comment on? Because it kind of seems like you ARE asking me to comment on things I can't comment on. I'm just saying.

Let's not jump the gun. Patience, my friend.

Ok ok ok!!!! I was just curious if Paramount jumped if it were REMOTELY possible if they could have Bee Movie ready for blu by their original March 11th date. I like that movie and there is no way in HELL Im buying it on dvd or HD-DVD.

Its now obvious to me that this question cant be answered without leading to major speculation and more questions being thrown at you that you are not in a position to comment on.

So, we'll just leave it at that.

I doubt it.

Hi Bill. If true about Toshiba dropping HD DVD, and with the firestorm this has now generated, won't they have to make an announcement much sooner?

They'll certainly have to say something, but I haven't believed much that they've said for several months now.

I expect nothing more than "at this time we believe HD DVD is the best format for the consumer base"...or something along those lines...

Its too late for that kind of corporate retorick now...

NoQuestion · 02-15-2008, 03:42 AM

This is great news. Now I am just waiting for the towel to be thrown in and Paramount/Uni to start releasing on blu. Now I just hope Atonement makes it to bluray when it is released to dvd

Yes, Toshiba of the past. This firestorm hitting every avenue of all media venues demands the statement they planned to make much later, to be made much sooner at this point.

These guys are cornered in an alley with no way out except to come clean far earlier than they were expecting to have to do.
