Default What goes around comes around Paramount LOL

Like I said when Paramount did a number on us what goes around comes around lol. Warner Bros decision to go blu-ray exclusive is awesome! Paramount is kicking themselves in the butt for chossing a format that will eventually die. What goes around comes around. Today Blu-ray fans rejoice!!!!!!! We love you Warner!

BLU-RAY is the only way!

Yes! Even if Paramount is able to get out of their contract, they will have to start releasing blockbuster titles right away before I buy any Paramount Blu-rays again.

it is pretty funny, however...

paramount got a lot of money to do this switch so it was a good business decisoin. they didn't loste that many profits by not selling blu ray to cancel out the 'bribe'

they will come back wehn their contract is over and it will have been like nothing had ever happened except that they got a bot load of money for a year away from blu. i doubt they are regretting their decisoin for htese reasons.

LOL thats true but they were so hell bent on saying HD-DVD was a better product. Heck even Michael Bay disagreed with their decision. I still think its funny how karma came back to bite them 150 million dolars or not their Shrek campaign didnt help save theeir supporting formar.

Did you expect them to say, "We've chosen the inferior format and have done so solely due to a $150M bribe." Methinks the HD-DVD association would have frowned on that much honesty.

I agree that Paramount is in the dark with Uni and they wont see the light of day for a while.

The first should be Transformers. With a totally different encode (video and audio) to match the superiority of Blu!

Now the HD fanboys are posting articles saying Warner was going HD but wanted Fox to go HD exclusive too but Fox said no, so Warner said no, plus HD side is claiming BDA paid $500 million? http://formatwarcentral.com/index.ph...-from-the-bda/ but they dont mention the Paramount buyout from the HD DEAD side do they? LMAO! Looks like HD side got counterpunched and knocked the **** out! with that deal. Its already a Happy Blu Year!

Hopefully, Toshiba will hold Paramuck to their contract and forbid them from releasing BDs during 2008 (and realizing any $$ from us consumers).
I am a strong proponent of the use of punishment in discouraging future sh!tty behavior.

Another way to beat P with a stick is to only rent Paramuck DVDs, rather than buy.

The ownership of P needs to feel the sting of the whip...

I know none of it is true - but if it were - BD Association pays better $500MILLION compared to a paltry $150. Pfft. Yeah, being blu does have it's perks

Lol. Again, not true but if it were it's funny.

I posted this - but as you can see - all comments are MODERATED so it won't be posted.

Jessie James on Your comment is awaiting moderation. January 5th, 2008 3:57 am This is the most blatent form of crap I have ever seen. Lol a PAYOFF huh? Just like HD-DVD was right? Yeah.. sure. You HD-DVD fanbois keep telling yourself. Pretty soon you all will be reduced to a circle jerk because your so skeered.
Give it a rest with the shitty news reporting. That’s the problem with the internet - any idiot can make a story/post. Too bad none of it’s real.
Good job on ruining your rep dude.
