Now that Paramount and Dreamworks Animation have just announced to exclusively support the HD DVD format, we thought it was time to revisit the current status of studio support for both Blu-ray and HD DVD. At last check, Blu-ray had all but a few studios locked down in their camp, with HD DVD trailing far behind. Has it changed?
Hit the jump to find out.

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
they got paid big time
because if its not on
bluray im not buying it
So I added it as an image, I laughed so hard lol.
somebody needs to ask the president to announce that blu-ray will destroy terrorists or something. im sick of this war.
i think major news stations should air a story telling people that if they want prices to drop, they need to choose one or the other, and blu-ray is the most advanced while hd-dvd has some special features. there are just too few actual PEOPLE fueling this war for anyone to win. its like a war of words between unimaginably stubborn retards.
this is gonna take forever...might as well buy blu-ray while im at it though, every 'vote' counts i guess.
I was just going to come in here and post about that pic and leave lol.
Universal and Paramount are huge studios. Universal being one of the largest in the industry.
For format adoption it will still take a long time though. The players must reach a pricepoint bw $100 and $200. I think Toshiba is going to do just this at Christmas time.
If HDDVD players reach that pricepoint this year and with HDDVD now having more studio support things are going to be looking pretty bleak for Bluray.
Especially with Toshiba puting HDDVD drives in all their laptops next year of which they sell 9 million annually.
