engadget.com — Rumors just won't stop about the future of HD DVD, and while we try not to post all of them, some seem too believable to pass up. Our friend Bill Hunt, at the Digital Bits, -- still waiting on those permalinks, Bill -- is reporting that his "second to none" sources informed him that both Universal and Paramount are in the process of going blu.

desperate attempt by engadget to stay relevant with their otherwise boring CES coverage. way to go with those veronica belmont videos guys, that really did the trick. back to the same old dirty tricks again.

WTF? You guys are really getting desperate. HD DVD lost. Accept it.

Actually, Blu-ray was to become the cheapest media to produce, didn't they modify an epson printer to print masters or something? Also, there are around 8 million PS3 out there now, and ALL support Blu-ray. The cost of the PS3 is dropping due to the fact that Blu-ray drives are getting cheaper which will mean cheaper players this year. Lastely, the HD-DVD group only dropped the price of players, selling them at a loss as a last ditch effort to secure the format. The problem is that most cheap HD-DVD players don't support 1080p or have other missing HD-DVD specs which in the end made them less of a player, Blu-ray didn't comprimise by offering half a blu-ray player.

What i'm saying is - no one REALLY gives a s**t about HD, except to justify the cost of the shiny new TV they just bought. If a person had a choice between a flawless HD movie for $20 or a next to zero cost streaming movie through a PC hooked to a TV with less resolution, which would they pick?history tells us: the lower-cost, lower-rez movie. how do we know this? who here has stopped using music CDs and just listens mostly to mp3 files these days?
