Everyone's favorite wasteful format war took another strange twist today, with the AP reporting that Target will only stock Blu-ray players in its retail stores -- specifically, Sony's $499 BDP-S300. The decision, which Target and Sony are due to announce tomorrow, doesn't include Target's website, Xbox 360 HD DVD drive, or HD DVD movies, so it's not a particularly huge win for Blu-ray, with even Target saying things like "We are not proclaiming one format vs. the other as the preferred consumer technology." Still, coupled with Blockbuster's decision to only stock Blu-ray discs, it looks like the format war might be fought and won at the retailer level, not by consumers.

Target väljer sida...åtminstone i affärerna
Kanske väntar på att onlinelagret ska ta slut av konkurrerande format, och sen bara Bluray där med?
Känns som återförsäljarna har sagt sitt, personligern tycker jag också se vad konsumenterna valt.
Men än är inte kampen över mellan formaten.

Ja ser inget i den texten om att Spielberg har valt BD det handlar bara om närkontakt av tredje graden  som ju dessutom inte är på Universals katalog.. man kan nästan tro du jobbar för hänt xtra HDGURU..

Däremot är det goda nyheter för ev Universalsläpp av storfilmer som Jaws, Jurassic Park trilogin och tillbaka till framtiden trilogin där Spielberg var Producent

Ken Graffeo was asked at EMA when we could expect Spielberg titles from Universal on HD DVD. He responded that Spielberg wouldn't allow it until HD DVD reached a mass market level on hardware sales. Mass market was loosely defined as somewhere between 4 and 16 million players on the market.

Steven Spielbergs "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" kommer att släppas exklusivt på Blu-ray.

USA TODAY

We have a relationship with the Spielberg team and they are involved in the release of CE3K. They are also aware of that we are releasing multiple versions using seamless branching. The original master had some issues, but our asset management department has been putting in many hours to get everything out of it there is to get. Suffice it to say that making sure that Steven is happy with the results is an absolute priority.

Additional note:

Some of you might wonder why I have not discussed this title earlier. I know most of you are strong supporters of Blu-ray and would like this sort of information before it breaks in the press, but please understand that our relationship with film talent takes precedence over all else. This project was carefully prepared for approval and we did not want to jump the gun before getting it. Witness the folly of others who have bypassed important steps like this....

Jag läste nånstans nyligen att Spielberg var väldigt bestämd med att endast släppa filmer på ett format och när han nu ska släppa en film på BD så får man ju lista ut själv vilket format han har valt.

Märker nu att jag låter som en sur gammal gubbe, dock förstår jag inte riktigt annledningen till att man vill hålla på och tjafsa så här. Vore väl bättre om man försökte hjälpa varandra och just skriva om nyheter och rykten som i detta fall gäller Blu-Ray. Eller?

Det skrivs rätt mycket om nyheter och rykten om Blu-ray i den här tråden ändå om du inte har märkt det Dock kan man få behöva filtrera lite ibland.

Jag tycker dock att det är bra med intelligenta kommentarer och relevant kritik mot det som skrivs i den här tråden. Det bidrar till en mer nyanserad bild.

Optimum Home Entertainment has announced that they will be releasing 'Wolf Creek', 'Pan's Labyrinth', and 'The Host' for Blu-ray on November 12th in the UK. Previously, Optimum only supported HD DVD, but with their recent Blu-ray announcements, it's clear that they recognize the markets are turning in Blu-ray's favor. No specs were announced at this time.

An interesting side note: Optimum is owned by StudioCanal, who releases on HD DVD in Europe. Could they be next to turn?

mycket intressant utveckling.  d o m i n o e f f e c t 

On August 28th, Paramount will ship its first high definition title to include a lossless or uncompressed soundtrack - 'Blades of Glory'. This title will feature a PCM 5.1 soundtrack for the Blu-ray release, but will feature no equivalent on the HD DVD, presumably because of the smaller disc capacity. Two weeks later, Paramount will ship 'Face/Off' with extras features available in high definition, but only on the Blu-ray version, again due to space constraints.

This is a drastic change from the Paramount we once knew. For the past year, Blu-ray owners have cringed as they saw release after release issued with low bit rate MPEG-2 video encodes and Dolby Digital soundtracks, while the HD DVD versions received VC-1 encodes and higher bit rate Dolby Digital Plus audio. It was disappointing to say the least.

The shift began with 'Flags of Our Fathers', which was released with a high bit rate AVC encode for the Blu-ray release. The audio was still lacking, but it was clear they were finally recognizing the Blu-ray consumer as a valuable asset. Now, with the addition of PCM audio, Paramount completes the high definition package and Blu-ray owners can now enjoy their favorite Paramount movies the way they were meant to be seen.

Buena Vista Home Entertainment has confirmed that 'Lost: Season 3' will be coming to Blu-ray on December 11th, day and date with the DVD set. You may recall that this title was announced a few months back in a news article, before being denied by Disney. More details are to follow.

For its Blu-ray debut, Denon plans a fall launch of the $1,999-suggested DVD-3800BDCI and the $1,199 DVD-2500BTCI, a model that lack internal audio decoding. Both models will be the industry’s first with HDMI 1.3a outputs, which transfer all BD disc surround formats in native form via HDMI for decoding by compatible A/V receivers.

An unsuspecting informant accidentally stumbled upon a Blu-ray enabled Wii while visitng Nintendo's R&D facility. Apparently the bathroom wasn't that easy to find.

While searching for the bathroom, the unnamed informant took a wrong turn Willy Wonka style and opened the wrong door. Upon entering the room, he noticed a small group of Nintendo employees (engineers?) watching a movie on what looked like a Nintendo Wii. The informant recounted the details to the Sarcastic Gamer, but made it unclear if the movie playing abilites were a hardware add-on, a software upgrade, or a brand new Wii model. Regardless, he took several mental notes about the situation:

    * The remote control to control movie playback attached itself to the Wii-mote nunchuck style.
    * The drive slot glowed blue while the disc was in but faded to black when the disc was removed
    * The Nintendo employees quickly ejected the disc and placed it in what was undeniably a Blu-ray disc case
    * There was an extra Wii channel titled "Wii Watch" emblazoned with a Blu-ray logo

This discovery comes after Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime hinted at an upcoming surprise for the Nintendo Wii during a Gamehead interview. "The surprise is coming," he teased, "by the end of September."

"I can't help but wonder," says the Sarcstic Gamer, "if Sony's Peter Dille knew about this upcoming feature roll out when he made his now famous 'HD-DVD dead within months' claim a short while ago."

Jo det vet vi ju redan, HD DVD har SD PiP mandatory medans BD får HD PiP mandatory, sen är HD DVD's "HD PiP-Lite"() fortfarande bitrate kapat.
Hur som helst så kommer HD PiP bli extremt tight på HD DVD, ska bli kul att se hur dom löser det
