 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.

Now bring out ET, Jurassic Park, King Kong, Jaws, Twister for us europeans (they distribute for WB), Scarface, 40 yr old virgin and whatever else you've got. Thank you Universal (or should I say Bluniversal), you'll do us proud.

I always knew this would happen (as did many if not all of us here). HD DUD advocates would always play down the storage capacity, but that is exactly what makes blu the next gen format and not HD DUD. With the capacity a blu disc has it can make room for and incorporate any new advances in video technology in the years to come. blu will be the bridge to digital downloads. but thats a whole other story. |

"If you look at it from a purely technical side, HD DVD was perhaps slightly superior compared with Blu-ray," said Checchia
The reason I goes with Blu is its technical merits, storage size and studios support. If you look at it from all angles Blu is superior, since it is a new technology so it takes a little longer to develope, so what, Blu won! |

To all these people hoping for ET/Jaws/Back to the Future/Jurassic Park/etc... You do remember that Universal really has no say as to when these movies come out on Blu. Its all up to Steven Spielberg. If it were up to Universal, I believe these movies would have been on HD DVD long ago as they would be sure sellers. Spielberg likes to wait until a new format has a large installed base before he puts his movies out. It was 3-4 years into the lifecycle of standard DVD before any of his films came out on that format.
Hopefully, it will be quicker this time out, but I still suspect it will be later rather than sooner.  |

one word...finally!
everyone knew it was coming. i work at bestbuy and we cant keep BD's in stock but somehow we have stacks and stacks of HD DVD even tho were basically giving them away at $100 with a tv over a grand. Not to mention how many open box returns we have on them once ppl go home and realize they made a wrong decision
WOOT! |

Hallelujah!!! Universal has some outstanding titles in their catalog that I cannot wait to begin collecting on Blu. I'm especially excited about the different Spielberg films that we can now expect in the weeks and months ahead.
Finally, though, thank goodness this format war is finally over. |

ericwithcheese - you're half-right. Jurassic Park, yes...Back to the Future, no. Spielberg-produced titles are not subject to the same rules Spielberg-directed movies are. |

Wow, I can't wait for Serenity and hopefully the whole Firefly season to be released on Blu-ray. This
also means that NBC TV shows will likely come to Blu-ray soon. I look forward to watching Heroes on
my PS3.
Come on Paramount, what are you waiting for??? I can't wait to get my hands on some Star Trek on
Blu-ray. |

AWESOME, can't wait for the Bourne series. I know it will take some time though since they have not released any blu-ray movies thus far. Welcome to the BLU side, Universal. |

Something is definately afoot. Engadget has screen caps of Circuit City's sales database and in those caps it fuzzily shows Transformers with a BD beside it along with a UPC sales code.
"GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS ARE COMING!"
BLURAY-THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!! |

Excellent - I have been waiting so patiently to watch Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, The Thing, and the Mummy movies in high def. I already own all but hot fuzz on SDDVD, but as we all know SDDVD just isn't watchable anymore. |

All I need is:
Universal - Gladiator
Paramount - Transformers
That's why I've been fine waiting for them to go Blu. I wasn't missing much but I'll be glad to have them both. |

Thank Toshiba for finally understanding that there wasn't an Ice Cubes chance in hell that hd-dud would prevail. Universal your logo will look better on a Blu Case, you will not be sorry. Paramount, it's your turn, "there is no shame in this, this is a good Death" :-) . Universal knows what we are all waiting for, Hurry Up!!!! I have well over 150 Blu and I want more movies (in Blu ofcourse) Thanks, Ok now, bye bye then ;-) |

Hey Josh, do let us know when Ken Graffeo is asked to resign. That would just be the best icing on this cake. |
