Paramount Pictures chooses HD DVD over Blu-ray

Paramount Pictures announced today that it will drop support for Sony's Blu-ray high-definition format in favor of exclusively supporting the Microsoft-backed HD DVD. The decision further complicates the race between the competing technologies.

HD DVD is better for consumers, and families will be more willing to purchase it, because of its lower price compared with Blu-ray, according to the company, which previously released movies in both formats.

The announcement affects all movies distributed by Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films. Universal Pictures already exclusively supports HD DVD, while Warner Bros. releases movies in both HD formats.

Blu-ray still holds the lead in terms of exclusive support, however. Three of the six major film studios -- Sony Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures and 20th Century Fox -- back Blu-ray, while two support HD DVD. In terms of discs sold, Blu-ray also leads HD DVD by a 2 to 1 margin.

Paramount's move not only deals a minor blow to Sony's disc media and movie divisions, but to the company's PlayStation 3. Consumers will likely be more reluctant to pay $499 for a gaming machine that doubles as a high-definition player, should Blu-ray fail to become the standard.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=twitter.com/iuyjopg]Viagra Sales Market[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://fovunec.freehostia.com]Ordering Viagra to Canada[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
