It’s no surprise that after Warner Bros. announced their exclusivity, that other major companies would follow suit. So it’s no surprise to be able to announce that both HBO and New Line Home Entertainment have swung full force into supporting the Blu-ray format.
Both companies supported both formats prior to this announcement. New Line, however, was always a little late releasing their content to the HD DVD format, so it’s not so shocking to know that they’ve decided to just go to one side of the fence. HBO recently released the 6th season of the Sopranos on both formats, however, we think this may be one of the last titles released on HD DVD.
These two major companies are both heavy hitters in their respective entertainment fields. We can now look forward to watching the Lord Of The Rings, Rome, etcetera, exclusively on Blu-ray disc.
