Since Toshiba has shut down production of HD-DVD players I wonder how long it takes before exclusive HD-DVD movies will come to BD. Movies such as U-571, King Kong, Happy Gilmore etc etc... Universal and Paramount must rerelease their catalog so we can buy it on BD. Anyone know how long these things take?

Paramount reporteldy has some titles (Transformers, Jack Ryan, Blades of Glory, Top Gun) in a warehouse with other previously released titles.

Universal and other Paramount titles would take about 90 days.

There was also some claims that Universal would "re-master" all of their previously released HD DVD titlles, but no one knows if that was really the case.

Weee, that sounds just perfect. Most of all I looking forward to see Transformers for the third time, now in BD I just sold my Toshiba HD-EP10 player among with all my 20 movies, so I got rid of it.. The future is blue If I can buy the 9 movies I sold on HD-DVD on BD I would be very satisfied, and I personally don't think it won't take long before Universal and Paramount goes blu too :o
