Question

Are all the movies that are Distributed by Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures will never come on Bluray disc ?

i mean the movies that will come in 2008 like iron man and the incredible hulk will never com on bluray disc ? just on hd-dvd ?

Answer 1

That is the prime example of the format war.  

As it stands right now, you are correct in assuming that the Universal and Paramount movies will not come to Blu-Ray.

As far as I know, Paramount's contract with the HD-DVD side expires in 2009, and by then we should have a clearer picture on which side will win the format war.

You may want to invest in an HD-DVD player cause they are really dropping in price, and they'll cover you so you have both sides of this little format battle.
