A question about Universal

[beatboy77]

From the contact I speak with who works in Universal's marketing department, she feels Universal with go dual format in early 2008, perhaps even in January.

She mentioned that when Paramount was given massive "incentives" to go HD-DVD exclusive for the 18 months, an offer much larger than what Uni received, Uni felt shafted to say the least. She also mentioned that there is very bad blood between Universal and Paramount, ever since in their eyes, Paramount stole DreamWorks from them. She feels there is no way that Universal and Paramount can work in unison as HD-DVD's only exclusive supporters.

Now with the rumors of Universal trying to lure DreamWorks/Spielberg back from Paramount, there is great animosity between the two companies.

I think we will see Universal producing Blu-ray discs quite soon, maybe in less than 90 days. A rumor I heard is that Universal's first Blu-ray release will be "American Gangster." We will see
