Um....why excactly did you resurrect this ancient thread?  Universal is announcing movies again, yes, but at the time they had not, and they waited almost a month after CES before announcing anything at all.  Many HD DVD fans were very worried at the time.

Yeah, I admit i jumped the gun at the time, but many others did as well.  It still doesn't change the fact that Universal isn't announcing near as many titles as it could be, and the fact that all of its titles are old catalog titles that people won't feel like rebuying on HD DVD.  Have they had any good movies come out over the past few years besides Children of Men? 

Most of the movies being bought in this war are new releases, as the upscaling abilities of the standalone players suite most people just fine for the DVDs they already own.  Just counting this year alone, Blu-Ray is getting big hitters like  Spider Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

You say Blu-Ray only outsold HD DVD by so much because its release schedule was better.  Well guess what, its release schedule will ALWAYS be better.

I guess Universal is going nuetral :roll:

Component vs Composite on HDTV.

why bring up old threads seriously ?

also blu ray is outselling HD dvd 9:2

Hadoken_Kid

You mean,  BD outsold HD-DVD 9:2 for the week ending March 18th?   CuzCasino Royale released March 13th,  and HD-DVD had no releases from March 9th to the like 24th. 

This is the end of the format war. Universal is the last exclusive supporter of HD DVD, and it anounced no titles whatsoever for the format at CES, where as every other movie studio anounced tons of titles for Blu-Ray, or for both formats, like the non-exclusive Warner Bros. and Paramount. Considering the fact that the exclusivity contract between Universal and Toshiba (HD DVD) runs out this month, it seems as if Universal is switching sides, or at least going neutral.

There were over 600 Blu-Ray titles anounced at CES, compared to a mere 200 HD DVD titles, and everyone of those titles were from either Warner Bros. or Paramount and were also anounced for Blu-Ray. HD DVD will recieve no exclusive content this year.

Many HD DVD diehards speculate that Universal is waiting to release its list of future titles at some later date, but considering the fact that it anounced loads of titles at last year's CES and that it has made absolutely no effort to renew the contract with Toshiba, it seems as if they have seen the light, and decided to maximize profits by switching to Blu-Ray.

This has saved us all from a horrible format war that initial seemed like it wouldn't end for years, but luckily, only a few early early adopters got cought up in the mess.

[QUOTE="Nex_Ownage"]Even if they looked identical, the X360 version has the advantage with th exclusive DLC.Timstuff

So what, PS3 will have it's own exclusive DLC. Rockstar already said so.

Rockstar said so?  Or Eurogamer said that Rockstar said so?  (Unammed source btw) 

[QUOTE="vauba_haoly"]The new Game Informer that came Today says the downloadable content is exclusive to the 360 and there was no mention of any other downloadable content for the PS3.asdasd

"When Microsoft announced that GTA IV would have exclusive, episodic content at X06, we wondered if that meant that the PS3 version of the game would have its own exclusive content. Eurogamer reports that an unnamed Rockstar North employee told the news outlet that PS3 owners could expect some exclusive downloadable content of their own. "

Now what?

That's supposed to be 100% confirmation?? :lol:

100% is when Rockstar or Sony confirm DLC for the PS3 version,  not Eurogamer citing unnamed sources... 

Both, but possibly better on HD-DVD.m3Boarder32

Why not?  I'm just speaking the truth.  Warner Movies are better on HD-DVD quite often,  with better audio, or more extras for HD-DVD versions.  The only Warner movie on BD with uncompressed or lossless audio is The Departed.
