Yes, Fox was already aligned with Blu Ray. But, Warner was ready to side with HD DVD if another studio aligned with the format, and Fox was the least reliable blu ray partner. They were ready to switch to HD DVD, but were paid a sum to remain with Bluray. Warner then decided it was in their best interest to also take a payout and effectively decide the format war then and there with 4 studios out of 6 |
That makes no sense. Why would Fox just switch for no reason, especially since Blu-ray was owning the market? They would have had to have a massive payout for that, more then 120 million.
You shouldn't put too much stock into one shoddy article that is going off of what one person said. This was also denied by the studios.
