While Universal's
commitment to back HD DVD exclusively has reportedly ended, the studio isn't dropping the format quite yet. According to High-Def
Digest, Universal recently issued a statement, reaffirming its support for HD DVD.
"Contrary to unsubstantiated rumors
from unnamed sources, Universal's current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format," said Ken Graffeo, executive vice president
of HD strategic marketing for Universal Studios Home Entertainment and co-president of the HD DVD Promotional
Group.
Take note that this statement doesn't dispel any of the rumors claiming that Universal will support Blu-ray as
well as HD DVD. In any case, we'll have to wait and see how this shakes out. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be
