Universal Studios Home Entertainment has joined Toshiba, Microsoft and France-based Studio Canal to form European HD DVD Promotional Group Ltd.
Announced at the CeBIT electronics trade show in Germany, the group aims to boost the international presence of HD DVD, which rivals Sony's Blu-ray disc format. It hopes to have over 100 HD DVD titles – a third of which from foreign studios – available in Europe by the end of the first quarter, and over 600 titles available worldwide by the year-end.
Universal is offering top Hollywood films like Casino, Ray and The Holiday, while Paramount will release Babel, Dreamgirls and World Trade Center. Warner Home Video titles include Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Happy Feet and The Matrix trilogy.
Even though the Super is out, this Chinese brand is releasing a base RTX 4080 - and it comes with AIO liquid cooling and a striking design.

With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
wasnt universal already backing hd-dvd ? they are the only one backing hd-dvd exclusively
The article state that Universal joined the European HD DVD Promotional Group Ltd., thereby reconfirming its commitment to the HD DVD format.
The battle carries on...
Once PS3 releases in Uk & Europe HD DVD will be Dead once and for all. When PS3 out sells it, like it is else where.
THIS CRAP IS A YEAR OLD
HDDVD isnt going anywhere, Blu-ray isnt either. You can comment on this battle as much as you like but the way I see it is its no different to the DVD+RW Vs DVD-RW.
There will eventually be players that will play both formats, a year or so from now youll be hard pushed to be able to buy a player that doesnt play both. PS3 and 360 add on being the exception, apart from of course theyll be changed to play either too.
It will happen, every HD player will play both...
Just dont buy NOW!!!!
