Universal adds their own nail to the HD-DVD coffin

Universal Studios has decided (big shock) to begin supporting the Blu-ray HD format, in addition to HD-DVD. That leaves only Paramount as an exclusive for the HD-DVD camp, though that might not last much longer.

Oh,  HBO Films jumped on the Blu-ray bandwagon earlier today too, not that anyone noticed.

As we’ve been saying, HD-DVD is dead dead dead. Now if Sony would just lower the price of the Playstation 3 a wee bit we’d get one. But that’s not likely, as shortly after the Warner Bros. announcement Sony actually raised the MSRP of it’s cheapest Blu-ray player from $299 to $399. Just lovely.
