Want Universal movies on Blu-ray??

Why would you support something that just lost it's only major support? I don't think any of us understand you on this right now. (Not being an a$$hole, just telling you the problem we're having w/ your logic here, and asking for an explanation).

I'm not saying that Univ swapping would make a BR studio swap(sorry for the confusion), I'm saying that there is so much confidence that Univ will swap, why is there not a worry that one of the BR studios will sell out to make more money.

I feel the longer the war goes on, the worse it is for blu ray. You are going to have guys who just want HD movies like me, buy a HDDVD player late in 07 if I am missing good new releases. The BR studios will notice this because I won't be the only one, and they will start to consider the $$$$. At the end of the day, everyone is in it to make money.

Now, if Univ goes nuetral in the next 6 mo's, that should be the end because it will deter the reason to own a HDDVD player. But if univ is still exclusive in 08, its bad.

Well, I might be naive, but you just contradicted yourself. First you say you fear a BD exclusive going neutral if Uni jumps and then you say it's over after Uni goes neutral. Make up your mind, 'dude'.

Dude, quite being an a**. Youll see in the first sentence that I said sorry for the confusion. I did not mean that once Univ went neutral, a BR studio would, I meant if Univ held out long enough a BR studio might consider it. If you think there is no way on earth a BR studio might consider neutrality if Univ doesn't jump, then you are naive.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen someone say that for hd-dvd having only three studios backing them up and blue-ray having 7. Hd-dvd is doing very good if you ask me, think about it 7 to 3, there shouldn't even be any compatition with that much studio support for blue-ray. We have just barely been head to head with hd-dvd well really ahead at the moment but hd-dvd is still there right behind us waiting to take the lead, I do think that if universal did start supporting blue-ray the race to the finish will be alot easier, but we should've been having the lead the whole time with our studios. And when did toshiba ever get popular, last I heard before all the hd-dvd stuff they sucked worst than just about any other brand, that's another thing that points out how are they so up there with us and thats almost there main brand for hd-dvd. I love blue-ray and I hope it wins, start bringin' the big guns blue.

I emailed them, hopefully by getting a lot of people to do this it would change the way Universal does things...

Go BLU-RAY!

Can we stop with the name calling and personal attacks and keep it on topic people? Otherwise - thread go bye bye.

I posted my comments about BHunt's "musings" of Universal "investigating" the BD format over at AVSF and saying that if it's true, it would be a wonderful thing.

Penton-man said something to the effect of "it's more than investigating." Here's the link to the now infamous and CLOSED thread.

Who is "Penton-man"? Is there a reason we should take his comments very seriously? Is he an insider? Looks like on that thread is it says "special member" what does that mean?

AVSforum is so biased I usually don't go there anymore. That place is run by Microsoft propaganda. Its really a shame too because it used to be a good website.
