It'll be nice to see Universal's movies on Blu-ray.

In all seriousness, WHEN Universal goes neutral, anyone care to throw out what the response/spin is going to be by HD DVD supporters over at places like AVMS?

Here's my take. Some will say, "I've been saying since Day 1 that all studios should be neutral. This is just the beginning; Soon Disney and Fox will be neutral." Others will say, "Well, HD DVD has sold so many more standalones that even if Universal releases on BD, the studios will still support HD DVD." And you know the last one, "Universal doesn't matter, it's really Warner Bros. that matters and they are driving HDDVD."

Any that I missed?

i'm banking on the "they're just giving the consumer more choice"

There are so many Universal movies i want.. hope they come to their senses

That engadget article actually says "no big titles" in the article, though the headline is different. The only really big titles they have that I can think of this year are Knocked Up, Evan Almighty, and The Bourne Ultimatum. I think that they'll either:

a.) Try one last push w/ those titles (and other summer money makers at the box office, if there are any)

or,

b.) Open up neutrality w/ there biggest summer earner

Just me speculating, and I think A is more likely.

i just hope they start realizing they could be makin more money going with blu-ray.
