Studio Canal are supposedly format neutral.

The practical effect of this is that there are several HD DVD movies out from them (including many of those supposedly 'Bu-ray exclusive' titles which are not, Studio Canal do them in HD DVD).

So what is on the Studio Canal Blu-ray side for the Blu-ray gang to get so excited about?

! French movie & 2 other French films which are supposedly coming some time later this year.

LMAO

I can really see the English-speaking PS3 owners buying those in large amounts, not.

Kinowelt is also a source of those supposedly 'Blu-ray exclusive titles' which are not.

Kinowelt isn't earth-shaking stuff but Studio Canal - Europe's biggest movie studio (bigger than Fox & Lionsgate combined) - are.

Studio Canal not only have a list of great movies to their name but they are involved in numerous international rights, publishing & distribution deals (going back decades) that ensure HD DVD gets many of those US Blu-ray exclusive movies.

Every time you see those lists of new Blu-ray releases it is thanks to people like Studio Canal & Kinowelt that many of those movies on the list will appear on HD DVD.

Nice.

It's another smart move which is keeping things going towards keeping HD DVD alive & well for us HD DVD owners to enjoy for many years to come.

Great.

Blu-ray have won nothing, merely the PS3 market (and even there they have a job convincing many PS3 owners to bother to buy BD movies).

But remember Blu-ray/PS3 fans, as Blu-ray fails to escape the niche & take off & they bilk your senseless for the captive market that you are, grit your teeth and pretend you love it, eh?
