Spielberg is a big supporter of Bluray which means his films will only appear on that format.  Here.  Interesting to note is the bit about Paramount/Dreamworks announcing their exclusivity to HD-DVD but excludes Spielbergs films from the deal.  I am aware that Band of Brothers got released on HD-DVD over in Japan.

yet transformers of which he had a big hand in it is on hd-dvd and I swear I saw A.I on hd-dvd format when I picked up bladerunner in the airport shop flying out to NZ

He only produced transformers.  He didnt direct it.  Look at the directors protests and rants when he realised it was hd-dvd only, friends of his had told him bluray was the better format.  I wonder who one of those friends may be...
I think you may be mistaken about A.I. its only ever been released on dvd as far as I could see searching google.
Ive also jusrt got Bladerunner on hd-dvd, the 5 disc US version :)  Supposed to look great.

Universal will soon shift sides & that will be that. Every Major player would be behind blu-ray & its the Region Encoding which is the key factor.


Credit where credits due ...

Daily Variety has confirmed that Universals commitment to backing HD DVD exclusively has ended. And Paramount has an escape clause in its HD DVD contract allowing it to release pics on Blu-ray after Warner Bros. decision to back that format exclusively.

Well it was announced in development and posted on the forums last year and in those articles the hardware companies were dead keen and the pc burners would be good with this and already in development for this and being able to burn both formats as well

yea, but hardware companies dont do the printing.

As a business, your manufacturing costs double straight away.. no need for 2x formats. Blu-Ray is far superior. Its only downside is the region lock - which will what ulitmately swing everything... that and brown envelopes under the table.
How many times have sony tried to push their technology & suceeded? lost out with betamax, minidisc thing got nowhere, same as their memory card.
