only 1 of those games is on PS3. and the new 40gbs don't have backwards compatability with PS2 games. and NCAA 08 looks better on 360 anyways.

Pretty interesting article on how they transfer older films to HD (actually to 4K (4096x2160) first) |

Warner Brothers will go Blu-ray exclusive in May 2008.
http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSN0432340820080104 QUOTE Fri Jan 4, 2008 4:04pm EST NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Time Warner Inc's (TWX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) Warner Bros studio on Friday said it would exclusively release high-definition DVDs in Sony Corp's (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) Blu-ray format, dealing a big blow to Toshiba Corp's (6502.T: Quote, Profile, Research) rival HD DVD technology. Warner Bros, Hollywood's biggest seller of DVDs, representing about 18 to 20 percent of sales in the United States, was one of the few studios that backed both formats. All sides of the format war had agreed it was confusing to consumers and a stumbling block for a potential multibillion-dollar industry. Total DVD unit sales fell 4.5 percent in 2007, the first major year-over-year decline since the disc format debuted in 1997, according to Adams Media Research. Sales fell 4.8 percent to $15.7 billion. "The window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if format confusion continues to linger. We believe that exclusively distributing in Blu-ray will further the potential for mass market success and ultimately benefit retailers, producers, and most importantly, consumers," Warner Bros Chairman and Chief Executive Barry Meyer said in a statement. News Corp's (NWSa.N: Quote, Profile, Research) 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Co (DIS.N: Quote, Profile, Research), and Lionsgate (LGF.N: Quote, Profile, Research) are among studios backing the Blu-ray format. Viacom Inc's (VIAb.N: Quote, Profile, Research) Paramount studios and General Electric's (GE.N: Quote, Profile, Research) NBC Universal release movies in HD DVD format. Warner said it would continue releasing in the HD DVD format until the end of May, although those releases would follow the standard DVD and Blu-ray releases. So if you want high-def DVDs, Blu-ray is probably your safe bet as no doubt this will be the nail in the coffin for HD-DVD. |

just because wb is going blu-ray doesn't mean blu-ray is going to win out, there are plenty of heavy-hitters in the hd-dvd camp, and dude wb sucks... you actually watch their movies?

Paramount/Dreamworks and Universal are the only two studios left exclusively supporting HD-DVD. It's a huge hit and I doubt HD-DVD will recover. I'd rather see HD-DVD win out, but oh well.
This is definitely a significant list of movies: http://www.imdb.com/company/co0026840/ |

And now its being reported that Paramount/Dreamworks will be following suit. As much as I hate to say it, Blu-ray has won this deal. If you were on the fence about getting HD-DVD or Blu-ray, the choice is clear now.

Damn, I didn't expect something like this to be happening so quickly. It's a domino effect!

Still just a rumor about Paramount, but IMHO it's over. Warner had the huge library to throw around.
