Blue Ray Technologies responded to news that Paramount and DreamWorks Animation have accepted $150 million to drop Blu-Ray distribution, a move that has sparked great controversy in the multi-billion dollar film and DVD industries.

The founder of the first and only indie Blu-ray factory in the U.S, Erick Hansen of Blue Ray Technologies, spoke out strongly about the reported $150 million in incentives Toshiba and the HD-DVD cadre gave to Paramount and DreamWorks Animation to shun Blu-ray discs.

Erick Hansen of BRT calls it an act of desperation by HD-DVD, which is in grave danger of losing the Hi-def format wars, as indicated by retailer and consumer preference.

The stereotypical piece of Blu-Ray FUD I've learned to expect.

Hypocrites.

That's as 'strong' a word as I can use to describe them in the open forums. Take this to the FWZ, and I'll use even 'stronger' language.

Damn hypocrites.

Did I understand that correctly, Transformers is HD-DVD only? Blockbuster will have to carry that title even if they only carry Blu-Ray.
