“Universal said today it will drop its support for HD DVD and instead produce its high-definition films on Blu-ray Disc,” Erica Ogg reports for CNET.
“‘The path for widespread adoption of the next-generation platform has finally become clear,’ said Craig Kornblau, president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Universal Pictures Digital Platforms, in a statement,” Ogg reports.
“‘The emergence of a single, high-definition format is cause for consumers, as well as the entire entertainment industry, to celebrate. 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 said,” Ogg reports.

maclife….. Blue Ray won’t make a shit film better. It’ll just ‘look’ better.
———————————
I thought Blue Ray in Japanese was Brue Lay, as in Creme Brulee.
Greg….its Blu Ray (not Blue or Brue Lay), but I’d expect that from someone who couldn’t appreciate a good action movie with great special EFX. Get some true movie taste and a quality home theater system with 7.1 surround then ditch that HDdvd player you bought at Walmart for $99.
I thought Blu Ray was a fashion health studio in Yokohama owned by a gaijin named Ray.

OK everybody, point in the direction of the HD-DVD camp and give them your best Nelson “hah-hah”!
