NBC Uni at CES

[davidPS3]

This is interesting news, but let's not get overly excited here. There are going to be so many tidbits coming out of this show over the next few days and we should not get caught up in information that may or may not be true. The way this thread is heading, I say by the time it gets to page 5, someone is going to state that this news is fact.

Let's just all remember that any news is not fact until a studio makes a official annoucement. Just saying let's stay calm and level headed.

They highlighted the Nintendo and Blu-ray because of the pictures by the text. The two pictures shows a crazy guy playing the original Nintendo, the other picture is a BD-R disc (obviously). So they highlighted the matching text.

Thats all. Sorry for ruining the party...

This time next year they'll be releasing on Bluray, short of Bluray being wiped off the face of the planet.

To think otherwise is a little silly.

Reading too much into it. Wishful thinking is not going to get us anywhere. Keep on letting your money do the talking. I'm sure that is the best way to get through to the decision-makers.

I think Nintendo and Blu-ray are just being highlighted because it's just referencing the two photos used in the column in case no one knows what they are? The guy that wrote the article or designed it probably just put up what he likes and just needed to reference those two photos. As for the gadget at the bottom...I'm not so sure.

Well, that's my theory.

I also do not expect any major announcements of Blu conversion during CES, but it is interesting that Blu-ray is highlighted and no mention of HD-DUD....

[kaliraver]

Well I had to post this at HDD to get a good laugh out of those Red Commies

[marinelife9]

Maybe HD-DVD wasn't first introduced at CES.

[venusiansky]

And look, this chick is wearing blu...

I really hope they will announce something exciting at the CES. Either WB go Blu or Universal go BLU will do for the new year

[JohnAlden]

I think the HD-DUDers are about to shit A chicken, or they already have

Notice how the NES is on there (not affiliated with either), Xbox (not affiliated with either), Blu-ray in 2003 (not affiliated with either), and the list goes on. It has no relevance to the NBC / Universal post above it.

I would imagine that they are pointing to some kind of deal with Nintendo to allow content either on the Wii or the DS...

While nothing DEFINITIVELY says that anything is going on, this seems to be a STRONG hint!

[Living Near Shamu]

Very Interesting, Mr Anderson.

[TruBlu2]

Interesting, we are hoping for a positive announcement of course.

We can wait and hope. We all know that Market Conditions demand a NBC/Universal response.

I don't think this is really anything out of the ordinary. Universal is a big studio and much like Disney voting on HD-DVD they want to make sure they are prepared for any circumstance. Universal is not going to be dumb enough to alienate Blu-Ray in case they want to release on the format in the future.
