Paramount had been talking neutrality for 18 months, and how their strategy is best for the consumer. Agree or not, they were definitely being existing consumer friendly (but dumb for encouraging maximum future consumers).

Now, they've decided to tell all their Blu-ray customers to drop dead.

Knife in the back indeed.

To call any Digital Bits report of Universal finally converting as "Wishful thinking" would be putting it mildly--
Although TDB rumors normally have credence, we should put a special proviso on this topic area, given how Bill Hunt almost never talks about anything else

Oh come off it. The guy made a statement that he was under pressure from GE to go neutral. It's on tape for pete's sake.

The general rule for any corporation, ESPECIALLY movie studios is that something is true until the day it's not. They about face and flip-flop like crazy

Are you serious? The head of Universal said he's under pressure from GE to go neutral?

Could you please please please provide a link? I would love to see that!

Considering how confused and careful the consumers were, now there is a lesson in DON'T TRUST ANYTHING.

Paramount has screwed ALL the studios, including themselves, with this one.
