Paramount, the studio that has yet to release a Blu-ray, and has some quite big titles in their arsenal is finally taking some steps towards the victor of the HD war--Blu-ray, with some new titles coming soon. One of which will probably excite Denny.

Quote:

Included among this first wave of titles is the Academy Award-winning 'There Will Be Blood,' as well as 'Cloverfield', J.J. Abrams' unusual take on the "creature feature." The first Blu-ray title to be released day-and-date with the DVD release will be 'The Spiderwick Chronicles', which Paramount will release June 24th.

What the F are you talking about? This article is concerning Paramount releasing Blu-ray movies. Which to this point, they have not released even a single movie (afaik). They were one of the heavyweights that HD-DVD had, and they are taking their good old time putting out the Blu-rays. Now if only Dreamworks... (Gladiator).

The PS3 for all but the upper audiophile is the best Blu-ray player, especially since it does so much else as well. Definitely pick it up.

Battlestar Galactica was another Paramount... I got season 1 in HD. I'm sure all the Tom Cruise blockbusters will make the switch to BR well worth it for Paramount.

I'll tell ya, when I opened that package yesterday and saw 5 HD-DVDs, I felt like I'd opened a bag of 8-tracks.
