Universal is thoroughly entrenched with HD-DVD. I don't expect anything from them in the way of Blu-ray unless one or both sides give in.

Well, although feasible, it is very unlikely. First, maybe the crappy transfer is because HD DVD is crappy. Second, no business, no matter publically owned or privately owned, would rob themselves of money. Universal wants to make as much $ as possible, why would they make unsellable products?

I don't think anything is on purpose. I think they are desperate to get titles out since they are competing against many major studios while their only exclusive "ally" has very few titles out. They are just trying to churn these discs out as fast as they can to compete, and in the process they are lower the quality standard and messing things up, which will cost them more money. Don't think Uni can't see that BD has better sales, they can see that. So can Para even though they just signed a contract (instant gratification vs holding the course).
I expect that (assuming BD sales continue to dominate) after this 4Q, things are going to change somewhere. I can't say Uni will give up easily since they put so much time and money into it, but they could make millions if they release on BD as well. |

why do you say that? if they are in a contract they have to appear to be into hd dvd. there is a good chance the contract says a min. of 4 releases every month or 100 total releases til your contract is up something like that. nearly all of their movies they have put out have had below par transfers and knowcked up is just another in a line of many. by the way i find if funny that it has yet to break the top 100 at amazon.com

They passed 100 releases a few months ago. The two idiots that run Universal Kornblau & Graffeo have been very vocal about their support for HD DVD and have gone out of their way to take cheap shots at Bd. Unless these two clowns leave I don't see Uni going nuetral anytime soon (CES 2008). Penton Man has even said as much. Things can always but I would not get my hopes up. |

i am very much afraid, they just donīt care about pq or actually think it is "good enough" for some reason. Maybe the "whatever" state of mind regarding the pq of many SD DVDs (imo) is still around there.
Sad, so sad, i'm afraid their stuff would look the same, even if they released on BR. ![]() |
