Dont really see what all the fuss is about , Bd may have a 2-1 lead in sales but with all those studios and all those extra gigabytes maybe the lead should have been bigger at this stage in Paramount's opinion anyway .

I think from the moment 2 formats were released , we were all more or less doomed to needless expense and distress.

As Ian says , maybe Sd/Hd/Bd isnt the choice you'd like but it seems the smart play if you want to get back to a stress-free movie laden life smile

Personally , I jumped into Hd-DVD because the SQ/PQ and Region Freedom appealed to me but I wouldn't insult the members here or anywhere else by indulging in any gloating as a result of this announcement. As with all wars , it's bloody stupid and should have been avoided . This is just another complication .

P.S. Havent seen it yet but very much looking forward to HD 'Transformers'

Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
