    Did DreamWorks not get the memo? HD DVD is dead!

    Everybody knows that HD DVD died when Toshiba discontinued its HD DVD businesses, right? Well, try telling that to DreamWorks, the studio that is still planning to release its movies on HD DVD.

    Re: Did DreamWorks not get the memo? HD DVD is dead!

    How many HD-DVD customers are there? lots (well, relatively speaking anyway)

    How many titles are going to be released between now and August? not many

    So guess which titles those customers are going to be buying? yeah, you guessed it, the DreamWorks releases.

    If they released Bee Movie on BluRay, they would be competing against Ratatouille, but as it stands there isn't another big new animated film on HD for it to share the market with.

    I think this is actually a very clever move by DreamWorks.

    Give it a couple of years and you will get a 'special edition' version on BluRay for them to make even more money on as well.

    Looks like someone got the memo eventually:
