As many of you know over the past few days the fight for the HD format has as suddenly become one sided, with Warner Brothers announcing that they will be going to Blu-Ray. This caused a huge change in the balance of movies available on Blu-Ray compared to HD DVD. New Line another production company also followed suit by moving to Blu-Ray this leaves HD DVD’s ranks depleted. Blu-Ray now controls over 60% of the market of film companies. The HD format battle is not only for production companies it is also over hardware manufactures and Toshiba is HD DVD biggest hardware supplier and they announced that they will be making dual drives for both formats this week yet another blow to the HD DVD camp. For CES HD DVD had a huge keynote planned which was canceled after Warner announced their move to Blu-Ray. According to Engadget the HD DVD booth was empty and Blu-Ray had long queues in their booth. The past few days have being the worst that HD DVD have ever had and are most likely to signal its death. What could make this week any worse?? Well rumours of Paramount and Universal leaving HD DVD if this were to happen HD DVD would have no major production companies left and that would be the end of it (source Appleinsider and basically all other tech blogs). Paramount started off as a Blu-Ray bunny then recently move over to HD DVDbut according to the rumours they have a get out clause saying that if warner were to leave they can too and Universals contract is up for renewal and they are sitting on it. Paramount are most likely to move first and if they did so Universal would be forced to move because they don’t want to be on the losing team. WOW that would have being an eventful week then Target shook it up a bit more by going Blu-Ray exclusive. I believe that Blu-Ray have won the battle and after a slow start have prevailed Sony can now put the Betamax VS VHS behind them finally. I have actually always supported Blu-Ray because I like the name if sound futuristic!! No not just that also because of the larger capacity discs.
