Letter To Paramount - Blu-ray Forum

JTK · 08-20-2007, 05:56 PM

Paramount is far too busy counting the money they received in the red briefcases to care about reading anyone's letters.

Sorry.

I couldn't agree more.

I don't know if writing a letter would help at all. I doubt they big guys ever see those kinds of things. They have receptionists who filter that stuff out and shred or file the things they don't want to look at.
This move is purely based on instant gratification and greed. It is a sad sad day to see another huge company turn its back on the evidence and sales figures of a popular and growing format to support one that pays them off.
Paramount has shown their true colors by allowing themselves to be bought off so easily. Dreamworks Animation is also on thin ice with me. The only major film franchise they have going for them is the Shrek films (yes they have others but this is the biggest seller). By taking in all that money, it only assures that they will loose more as time goes by.

I do not think they will be able to get that many HD-DVD exclusive titles out by the Holidays to make it worth while, but we will see. This will definitely extend the war beyond what we all hoped. I originally estimated that with only Universal backing HD-DVD, the war would be over or close to it by next fall. However, now with Paramount making this bad move, we will have to endure a longer war that will damage the HD sales world-wide and further alienate consumers from the format!
This is bad for both sides really, but especially for Blu-ray.

Yea, well they won't be counting my money anymore and I have bought a lot of Paramount product.

Actually, a lot of people here are quite right. Send letters not only to Paramount and Viacom, but draft a different letter to retailers such as Target, Best Buy, Blockbuster and Netflix.

So THREE LETTERS, not e-mails to these companies.
