The Format War gets really interesting...

OK so HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray has had another major development. After mucho speculation that Universal would soon start to support Blu-Ray effectively ending the format war, it has been announced that Paramount/Dreamworks will be going HD-DVD exclusive aside from major Spielberg films. For the first time in a while, HD-DVD nabs some points in this particular race.

How many people do we think wil be getting HD-DVD just for Transformers? Even though it is a Spielberg production, thi shas been announced as an exclusive title. With HD-DVD player prices continuing to fall, could this mean that they will be making some ground up? I shall say this much.

2 hundred pound HD-DVD player with titles which have better features and no form of region coding. Or a 400 pound Blu-Ray system with more titles from more studios?

Fuck me this is tough.
