Greetings, and a Universal conspiracy theory... - Blu-ray Forum

If they really wanted to hasten the demise, Universal would have announced that they are supporting Blu-ray as well. That way their name isn't 100%linked to a poor quality product(which most people think is happening already).

Agreed, unless they're (Universal) contractually prohibited from doing so...

Uni were the ones who pledged to release 100 HD DVD titles this year.

If they signed a contract based on those wildly optimistic sales projections for HD-DVD players, I wonder if they have an "escape clause". Or a "sanity clause".

The sanity clause would have been to not sign anything restricting them to HD DVD.

I'm sure it looked like a good idea at that time!
