En un anuncio sorpresivo este Domingo, Paramount Home NEtertainment cambió su apoyo al formato DVD Blu-ray de Sony. Sólo Universal sigue apoyando al HD DVD junto con Microsoft e Intel.
Imdb.com escribió:In a surprise announcement on Sunday, Paramount Home Entertainment switched its support to Sony's Blu-ray DVD format from Toshiba's HD DVD giving the Sony-developed high-definition DVD format the backing of four of the six major studios. Until Paramount's switch to the Blu-ray camp, the studios had lined up evenly behind the two incompatible formats. Some analysts predicted Sunday that Warner Bros. will also join the Blu-ray backers, perhaps as early as today (Monday). That would leave only Universal in the HD DVD camp. In a statement, Thomas Lesinski, president of worldwide home entertainment for Paramount Pictures, said that he was primarily influenced by "new data on cost, manufacturability and copy-protection solutions" and the fact that Sony will gain a significant advantage in volume production by including Blu-ray in its PlayStation 3 video game players. Virtually all of the studios are hedging their bets, saying that they might release high-definition versions of their movies in both formats until a final shake-out occurs. Paramount's announcement came less than a week after Microsoft and Intel joined the HD DVD backer
