Contrary to post-CES rumors, Universal Studios has no plans to drop HD DVD in
favor of Blu-ray. In a recent interview with BetaNews, Ken Graffeo of Universal has stated that the company is not making any changes to its strategy at this
time.
First of all, I want to say that none of those rumors were substantiated. Nobody ever talked to us. I know nobody
talked to Paramount because Brenda, their PR person, sent out a statement immediately. This is business as usual for us and there are no
plans to make any changes. We just made an announcement of our new HD DVD titles yesterday, with American Gangster. We also have a lot of
other things planned. It's business as usual.
