Paramount has reportedly shot down the rumors stating that they will drop HD DVD in favor of Blu-ray. In an email to Bloomberg.com, a Paramount spokesperson has
stated that the company plans to continue to support the HD DVD format.
Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures denied a
newspaper report that the studio is poised to follow Time Warner Inc. in abandoning Toshiba Corp.'s HD DVD technology.
``Paramount's current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format,'' Brenda Ciccone, a spokeswoman for Paramount, said in
an e-mail today.
There always seems to be some truth to these rumors. While Paramount may be continuing to support HD
DVD, it would not surprise me if they were at least considering Blu-ray. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here.
