So my reactions for the day: about Paramount - oh #$*& about Fox - OH #$*&!!! Can someone start a "buy the bug a Blu-Ray" fund for me? Fox is going to bankrupt me and I couldn't be happier! Thanks!

IMO this makes the Paramount Announcement a wash....actually based off this list alone, my Fox vs. Paramount purchases for the 4th quarter are 12Fox BD's, vs. 4 Paramount HDDVD's. I decided to pass on the Jack Ryan collection since it's HDDUD only now & Blades of Glory. Paramount will see less of my money (a dual format supporter) with their decision to back the lesser spec format. I just can't fathom a deep investment of their titles to play back on buggy equipment and backed by a monopolistic pig of a company lining their pockets like Microsoft is. I say...Screw em, HDDVD needs Paramount more than BD did anyhow...and I'll take this FOX/MGM trade any day of the week!!!

I just want to send out a big thank you to Paramount for freeing up some funds so I can afford the Fox releases.

Ohhhh the goosebumps... Look at that, the sadness is gone! But hopefully what Bill Hunt says wont actually happen!

Glad to see Fox get off the slacker chair. But *counting*..19..20..21...that's only 21, where're the rest of the 29?

Ehhh, no Simpsons Movie this year? That's strange I hope the Robocop will get a new transfer.

Simpsons Movie could be one of those unannounced Day-and-Date releases.

Yeah these will be good watches but I don't know about purchases. I still think Transformers and Jack Ryan will be better "Titles To Own". I'm already pricing a combo player. BUt I'm not a big sell out. Afr all, with a combo player, whatever format wins (please blu-ray), I'll be able to get discs from the losing side inexpensively
