Universal: ‘current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format.’ Currently.

Filed under: , ,

Universal Studios issued a terse statement today, denying rumors that the HD DVD stalwart is looking to take advantage of that lapsed exclusivity contract and jump ship for cross-town high-def adversary, Blu-ray. Ken Graffeo - veep of HD strategic marketing at Universal and plus co-president of the HD DVD Promotional Group - said simply “Universal’s

current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format.” That Universal’s response was nearly verbatim to HD DVD ally Paramount’s should come as little surprise. How about that, movie executive types: let us know about your future plans and we’ll skirt that whole song and dance, okay?

[Thanks to everyone who sent that in!]
