Currently available Paramount and Dreamworks Blu-ray titles
With the recent announcement that Paramount and Dreamworks will no longer be supporting Blu-ray ( discussion here) and rumors that current releases will no longer be made available past their current stock levels, I was thinking some members may find it beneficial to review the list currently available releases. Therefore I have compiled a list of all currently available Paramount and Dreamworks releases to date. I'm sure I've made a few errors in this listing, so if you find any please let me know and I'll correct the original post. These titles should be listed in order of newest to oldest by release date.
I understand that some Blu-ray supports are calling for a boycott of these and other offerings from Paramount and Dreamworks. If that is your goal/intention then I respect your decision and wish you well. At the same time I hope that you will do the same by respecting the decisions of others to acquire these titles while they are still available.

Chris,
This thread might be shutdown if format discussion occurs in it, but the following link lists all BR titles released by studio.

Re: Currently available Paramount and Dreamworks Blu-ray titles
I have Blades Of Glory on BD preordered. I'm not gonna cancel it. I'm gonna just sit back and see if it does ship as a swansong. I have both formats, so, in the end I really don't care how I get the film.
Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.
I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.

Can some one explain that to me? What does that prove? I know it's based on a principle, but it only would cement Paramounts decision. How could they prove that their titles weren't picked up base on a boycott versus a bad market on Blu-Ray?

Re: Currently available Paramount and Dreamworks Blu-ray titles
I went and bought five titles on BD to show Paramount the $$$ they will be losing.
Mission: Impossible
Mission: Impossible 3
Sleepy Hollow
The Untouchables
U2: Rattle and Hum
I might pick up Dreamgirls and Nacho Libre sometime in the future, but they weren't a high priority. Fortunately those were the only Paramount titles I cared about. I'll sort of miss the Jack Ryan films this Fall, and a few here and their, but the other studios are already making me broke.

Re: Currently available Paramount and Dreamworks Blu-ray titles
Are there any Paramount / Dreamworks titles that ARE "must buys" on Blu-Ray...
because the Blu-Ray version is significantly superior in extras and/or PQ / AQ ?
Thanks.

As was customary with Paramount releases they did indeed use different encodings for Blu-ray and HD DVD. For a good comparison of the AV quality of these titles I would recommend checking out the reviews on HighDefDigest.com. In the end I don't know of any that are considered unequivocally superior.

How about we start punishing the people breaking the forum rules instead of everyone by punishing the threads...
Anyway, Chris, I appreciate what you're trying to do here. I think anyone that wishes to buy these should feel free to do so without being chastised. However, I already have all the Paramount Blu-ray Discs I want. I'm certainly not going to be buying titles to prove point, as it is clear to me that none of the studios have the consumer's interest in mind any longer. Editied to add: Not that they ever did, but whatever dillusion I was under is apparently gone.

Re: Currently available Paramount and Dreamworks Blu-ray titles
Thanks Chris for the "heads up". I was just thinking about this and if there are any discs I need to buy ASAP.
