Rumor: Universal Next Studio to go all Blu-ray

[DaViD Boulet]

I heard that Peter Jackson is working on content for The Lord Of The Rings HD-DVD box set.

You heard wrong. New line is Blu-exlcusive.

And sadly for those who are purple/blu, the most reliable word on the LOTR films is that there are no plans to release them on HDM for a while (to give the surviving HD format a chance to grow first)

Actually PJ was working on an HD-DVD set. He was told he had until May to get them ready which may well sideline them for many years.

1. Watch the movies you have, whatever *&^%$ format they are

3. Stop justifying your purchase or denigrating the other's
4. Stop calling each other names, it only points to your issues
5. Put all this wasted energy into something important that makes it a better world

timbre4,

Hear Ye Hear Ye the skies have opened and the lord has spoken!

Never have more sane words been said on the format wars!

Provide confirmation (ie, something other than a secret conversation with an unnamed insider that connot be conferred by anyone else).

PJ would confirm that he has reluctantly cancelled his HD-DVD plans.
