Some would call that poetic justice, I just find that terribly unfair for their customers (the HD DVD kind).
Ah well, at least the catalogue is unified now, let's get some BR releases now and end all this ! :)]]>Feb 28th 2008 11:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/Feb 28th 2008 11:34PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/Feb 29th 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/
Oh good heavens. So I overlooked that detail with truegamer's reply. Big f'n deal.
And now I found one of your post, so here's my reply to you:

What are you, the Blu troll enforcer!?

I haven't gotten a response from truegamer, so obviously he has to get another d-bag blu troll to do his dirty work for him.
You really should just mind you own GD business, Prey521. Besides, it was truegamer that took my original post out of context.

So I'm saying this from the cheap seat: THE WAR IS OVER YOU STUPID F'N TROLL!!!

You Blu d-bags continue to made noise over nothing. So if you wanna pick a fight with me, knock your dumba** out. There really isn't anything left to this subject of RED vs. Blu worth arguing over.

But I guess in your feeble mind, someone's got to defend the Blu Troll Kingdom!]]>Feb 29th 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/Feb 29th 2008 6:53PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/
Oh, so now you're claiming that you didn't send this reply to me:

"Prey521
Prey521 @ Feb 29th 2008 4:04AM

You must be a noob! He doesn't have a reply option under his post because he replied to another poster. You can't reply to a reply, only to original posts, idiot."

Are you claiming that someone hijacked your account and sent it under your name?]]>Mar 1st 2008 10:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/Mar 2nd 2008 12:35AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/

Competition creates a healthy market, drives prices down, and improves functionality and features. This is what will happen as all the Blu-ray manufacturers compete to replace your DVD player.

Multiple standards and formats (which is what this battle was) just confuse the hell out of everyone, and stifles consumer adoption. Less consumer acceptance means that all of these same companies focus fewer of their resources on getting the price down and adding new features, because it isn't a proven market for them to invest in yet.

Believing that things were better with two incompatible formats is just sour grapes on your part for picking the side that lost.]]>Feb 29th 2008 3:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/Feb 29th 2008 8:33AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/Feb 29th 2008 8:52AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/
I was expecting this stuff to take months and years, yet in just a month, it went from 'anybodies game' to 100% done and over.

For f**k sake, the only fanboy here is YOU. Engadget (or any online forum) doesn't need another d-bag like yourself making assumptions over every post just because you think it's written improperly or doesn't meet your beliefs.

Besides, you're 7 weeks late to try to flame anyone on this subject you stupid a** troll!

I just wish they would have at least followed Warner's lead and released announced titles. I can understand what the blu only crowd went through when they went cold turkey last year. Just goes to show Paramount won't do anything without a check.

It's ironic that the studio that decided the war (Warner) is also the only one with enough class to keep their word. Of course you can tell by the quality of their restorations and transfers that they love movies at least as much as money.]]>Feb 29th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/
Yes, it is highly possible that they don't have the manpower to put out blu-ray discs. I agree they should have transitioned like Warner. The puzzling thing for me is the loss of revenue. 50% yes, probably acceptable to them (like when they went exclusive to HD DVD). But 0 hi-def revenue? It is better to use up all of the remaining HD DVD supplies and use (as long as they can) the equipment they bought to manufacture HD DVDs to recoup losses.]]>Feb 29th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/Feb 29th 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/28/paramount-and-dreamworks-hd-dvd-support-ends-march-4/
