Universal Announces Blu-ray Support!

 

universal Things are obviously going to be happening quite quickly now that Toshiba has officially pulled the plug on the HD DVD format.  Home Media Magazine has spoken with Universal Studios Home Entertainment President Craig Kornblau, who officially announced the studios' Blu-ray plans:

"While Universal values the close partnership we have shared with Toshiba, it is time to turn our focus to releasing new and catalog titles on Blu-ray.  The path for widespread adoption of the next-generation platform has finally become clear. Universal will continue its aggressive efforts to broaden awareness for hi-def’s unparalleled offerings in interactivity and connectivity, at an increasingly affordable price. The emergence of a single, high-definition format is cause for consumers, as well as the entire entertainment industry, to celebrate."

Hopefully a press release will follow soon with some title announcements including dates.  And expect a similar announcement from Paramount/Dreamworks shortly.
