For me, it just doesn't change anything. One studio like Universal can only do so much by itself to hold up an entire format.

It still comes back to this: Universal cannot continue to ignore BD if they want to make more money. Already they defy common sense and good business by ignoring it even now. They will only continue to do so at their own peril.

Were people actually thinking Universal was not going to release titles? Come on! I was just taking the opportunity to tease the HD DVD fanboys a bit, but for sure this silence was going to end.

I think Microsoft ponied up a truckload of cash to cause this announcement. That would be the only thing that would keep Universal exclusive now.

As for titles:

Scarface, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Bruce Almighty, The Bourne Identity, Meet the Fockers, American Pie, Inside Man, Pride & Prejudice, The Big Lebowski, [b]Liar Liar, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Brazil, Erin Brockovich, Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Slap Shot and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The studio also confirmed that the first season of Sci-Fi's new Battlestar Galactica...

You don't see some cool titles there?

Time for Sony to drop it's list of INTENDED titles. And for Disney to announce a few more Pixars and couple of classic animations.
