Paramount Moves to Blu-ray
Given that Toshiba has now officially discontinued its HD DVD business, this news acts merely as an extra nail in the format's coffin. Paramount has become the last of the big six Hollywood studios to decide upon Blu-ray, saying:

We are pleased that the industry is moving to a single high-definition format, as we believe it is in the best interest of the consumer," the statement reads. "As we look to (begin) releasing our titles on Blu-ray, we will monitor consumer adoption and determine our release plans accordingly.Universal, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Studios and Warner have already made the switch to Blu-ray, which looks almost certain to become the dominant high definition format for the next few years.

before Paramount even made an announcement. Imcluding Onkyo:eek::eek: I thought that they would have announced it even sooner.:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Here is an example of what you get from no competition.
Time will tell. I'd love to see $18 BR movies as well but I don't think it is going to happen anytime soon.
Although Microsoft does indeed have competition. And consumers always have the option to boycott an OS as many did with Vista (not me though I love Vista). There is Linux and Mac OSX out there. And frankly Microsoft would really have some competition with Apple if Apple were to simply allow People to use the Mac OS on their PCs rather than be forced to buy Mac computers.
IM CERTAINLY NOT.
The only reason you guys got HD-DVD players for 100$ is because Toshiba knew their product was dieing and decided to push it out to anyone who would buy it, despite that their customer was going to have a dead product.
