    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    This is why I prefer the Paul_Scott term "format independent" (patent pending). ;)

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    This is purely a matter of opinion, so it really isn't very useful to "debate" it in my opinion. However, titles like The Matrix, and PotC, as well as Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Evil Dead II, and Halloween are all very high on my wish lists. There are also strong rumors of Bram Stoker's...

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    Well, to be fair, we think the cat is out of the bag. We don't know that it is out, and I'm kinda hoping it isn't because I'm with you in feeling underwhelmed by it.

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    Yes, but traditionally comedies are not big sellers on HDM either. Why? I imagine it might have something to do with the preception (I would say the incorrect preception) that comedies to do benefit as much from an HD presentation as say a comic book movie.

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    No, that wasn't what I found fascinating, but I think you knew that. ;) I found the tactic of trying to make Universal the "bad guy" interesting. Although, you both bring up a good point. I think that the difference in the tactics and the tone are due to one format trying to "win it all" and...

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    Paul, I hear you. Incidently, I think we're all aware that Universal doesn't really feel any pressure right now. It is definitely a PR move by the BDA to try apply some. I don't think this story should be given any more weight than that. However, as I said before, I think the PR move is...

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    Everytime someone mentions BD's lead over HD DVD, an HD DVD supporter mentions how small the market is, so, apparently, by their standards at least. :) Are these the same standards that the retailers hold, probably not. However, retailers were calling for the end of the format war before it...

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    I'm really not trying to be arguementitive, but I just don't understand this reasoning. If there are two poorly performing formats that essentially do the same thing, wouldn't I, as a retailer, rather have to stock and sell one? Wouldn't I, as a retailer, think that there would at least be a...

    Pressure mounts on U to turn Blu

    I think the most significant thing about this article is that there is an article in the trades about there being pressure on Universal to adopt Blu-ray Disc. And, really, that is it. I don't think there is a lot of substance to this article. The comments about there being preceived pressure on...
