Despite selling more movies on the Blu-ray format, Paramount has announced today that they will begin supporting HD DVD exclusively. This move, rumored to be driven by a $150M exclusivity deal with the HD DVD group, comes after Paramount began favoring Blu-ray releases with higher quality video encodings and more HD features. The deal covers all of Paramount's properties excluding those directed by Steven Spielberg.
The move will inevitably lengthen a format war which should never have been.

[QUOTE="walkerctranger"]good, i want hd dvd to win. there just much better.springz300
how are they better?
lemme guess, you have a 360?
there better because they can play regular dvds, and clean them up considerably, so you dont have to buy all you movies all over again, IMO, they look better, yes i have a 360, but i bought a stand alone hd dvd player..
