With the almost confirmed rumor that Toshiba is pulling the plug on dud. Bill and other insiders are now hinting that things may happen with the studios this Monday. So when do you think Paramount/Universal will go blu?

I say they already have, but they will say it on Monday

Lou-Cipher · 02-17-2008, 03:25 AM

K-mart is HD DVD exclusive.

Paramount and Universal are going nowhere...

I said yesterday that I bet Paramont is pressing BD as we speak. Universal is anybodys guess, they have no choice now but have to learn the drill.

It is President's day on Monday and most businesses will be open.

Id say maybe Friday, or next Monday(25th). I say Friday because its the weekend going into the Oscars and it will create a sense of a unified Hollywood which is something much needed after the writers strike. I also say maybe the 25th because all the news out of Hollywood will be the Oscar results and the announcement wont appear to be as big of a deal in the mainstream media compared to that.

The stock market is closed, that's what I'm going by.

jk1138 · 02-17-2008, 03:54 AM

They already are Blu, what choice do they have, they just have not anounced it yet.

That is a tough one but I am inclined to say no. I think they might celebrate Prime Minister's Day though.

Yes, but companies still operate even if the market is closed. Monday should be a good news day.

Delta_FX · 02-17-2008, 04:09 AM

I picked Tuesday...

AlexCruz · 02-17-2008, 04:31 AM

Well all the sources keep hinting to Toshiba speaking up on Monday. If that is true then I see a few possibilities.

1. In order to save face, Universal or Paramount, or both, will have to make an announcement either on Sunday or early Monday before Toshiba.

2. Toshiba will make their announcement on Monday and later in the day Universal, Paramount, or both will make their announcements. Which will make them look like fools.

3. Universal and Paramount can make their announcement on Tuesday one day after Toshiba, which will make them look like bigger fools.

4. They all can make a unified announcement which will make them all look like fools, but to a lesser extent.

I'm guessing June; that seems to be when all the major shifts are going down. Now, when they announce the change might be different though.
