Anyway, as some of the above posts show, Paramount is a major player in the movie industry. With some of the highest grossing titles of this year, their switch is nothing to be easily dismissed. Furthermore, this also encompasses dreamworks, which would provide a much needed boost of children oriented films to HDDVDs lineup. Take this and add it to Universal's exclusivity and Warners apparent prefference for HDDVD, and I'd say things are pretty close to even now as far as studio support goes.
Furthermore, given how Blu has been outselling HD 2:1 this year, there has to be some big reason for the switch. Either the Bluray association really, really pissed off Paramount or they were offered mountains of money by the HD association. However, I can't help but think that story about Wal-mart introducing a very low cost HD player may have had some truth to it, and that this contributed to their switch.
