Universal Studios Home Entertainment President Craig Kornblau has this to say:
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. 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.
No word yet on the fate of Paramount… although rumors around the web say retailers have been seeing their title show up in their systems as Blu-ray. It’s only a matter of time before we’re all Blu.
