Rumours of Universal Studios (the last major exclusive movie company for HD-Dvd) might be going Neutral. Selling movies both on Hd-dvd and Blu-ray.
Heise Online, a German IT website, is reporting that during a press conference, representatives from Pioneer announced that Universal will break their exclusivity agreement with HD DVD. This would allow Universal, the only large studio exclusively supporting HD DVD, to freely distribute their movies on Blu-ray. It is important to note that this announcement has not yet been confirmed by Universal.
It has long been speculated that Universal was receiving monetary compensation for being an exclusive HD DVD studio. This announcement would signal that they have decided to forgo the compensation in order to release titles on Blu-ray. Most would agree that this move would effectively end the war, and no matter what side you support, a single HD format is the best long term solution
Ther wont be a reason to make Hd-dvd anymore since no1 big is exclusive to it and blu-ray discs are bigger, look better and now controle 71% of sales between Blu-ray and Hd-dvd
Format Wars Over? Blu-ray The Winner!?!
