Formatwarcentral reports, Bill Hunt of The Digital Bits states that "Paramount and Universal are going Blu, but sorting out all the legal details and organizing the logistics takes time".
Citing his sources which are "second to none", Bill notes that Universal may not announce until February due to contractual obligations that end in January.
For Paramount he states that they will want to have a couple of titles to announce, which also takes time.
It also mentions the pressure from retailers to move to a unified format, a factor that I also believe will be key in the upcoming months.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.

The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Dude PS3 is going to EXPLODE in the coming years and even this year.
I have advice.. if u dont like it dont enter the article... or get a PS3 I guess... this news does relate to the PS3 very much considering it's in every console.
First the HBO going Blu, although this more speculation, appearently these guys sources are good, that this is going to happen soon.
Universal In Feb, and Paramount down the road.
What a great end to the day! :)
Forget Obama, McCain, and Hillary!!!
