My understanding is that Universal and Paramount will not release any Blu Ray titles without "permission" from Toshiba - otherwise they will lose their "payments" (bribe)for supporting HD DVD.  Universal exclusive HD contract with Toshiba was due to expire soon anyway but we may have to wait another year before Paramount/Dreamworks release titles on Blu Ray.

I am holding out buying films like "American Gangster" until the Blu Ray version is released.  

Also, I am refusing to replace my existing DVD collection with Blu Ray - as my Upscale DVD player is great for upscaling the image quality (close to HD).

It's been there for ages what took you so long?

Cool. Looking at that list, do I read it right that The (new) Shining Special Edition USBD will play on a UK PS3.

If anyone could confim that I'd appreciate it as I'd kind of given up on getting The Shining on BD. I don't want the UK cut down theatrical version.

I look forward to Paramount's eventual 'wording' with great interest too...

Great that I can now go about collecting my favourites on Blu-ray's high definition format without any worries now.  I just hope that future releases will utilise the format to the best of it's potential, with the best of prints used.  I'll still need to continue collecting many things on standard DVD too though, as some things will probably never see the light of day on a high definition disc.

Toshiba will deny up until they confirm discontinuing HD-DVD (which could happen tomorrow at their press conference in Japan).There is no choice in the matter. The format is dead in retailers and customers minds. Dr. McCoy has confirmed the patient deceased, mourners are filing past. Only the nails for the coffin remains

I prefer the green movies myself...

Aye, I wasn't including you. Not that I'm saying you're not a lady. And I'm sure you love a good porno as much as the next person. Erm, where did I put that shovel..?

Why do women always call blokes perverts for watching people have sex, even if they're quite happy to have it themselves?

We are keeping an eye out for a press release from Toshiba on this.
