Universal Preparing Titles for Blu-ray

The statement that Blu-ray fans have been waiting for nearly two years to hear, president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment Craig Kornblau has announced that Universal Studios will begin distributing their films on the Blu-ray format. He commented, "While Universal values the close partnership we have shared with Toshiba, it is time to turn our focus to releasing new and catalog titles on Blu-ray." He continued, "The path for widespread adoption of the next-generation platform has finally become clear. Universal will continue its aggressive efforts to broaden awareness for hi-def's unparalleled offerings in interactivity and connectivity, at an increasingly affordable price. The emergence of a single, high-definition format is cause for consumers, as well as the entire entertainment industry, to celebrate." While no solid details about which titles or specific dates were revealed at this time, a more detailed announcement is expected soon. Thanks goes to forum member aurevoir05 for posting the news.

2 more studio's to go. By the way, I can't wait for Focus Features Studios (a Uni company) to release on Blu-ray. Easter Promises, Atonement, and In Bruges will be terrific on Blu-ray.

"If you look at it from a purely technical side, HD DVD was perhaps slightly superior compared with Blu-ray," said Checchia. The key to Sony's success this time around was that its chief executive Howard Stringer, a former head of the company's North America division, drew on his Hollywood contacts to drum up support for Blu-ray. Blu-ray's success was also helped by its inclusion in Sony's PlayStation 3 video-game machine. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/080219/technology/entertainment_it_electronics_consumer_japan
