Paramount: We're Sticking with HD DVD

Paramount has issued a statement saying that the Financial Times story published earlier today claiming Paramount was set to drop HD DVD in favor of Blu-ray is false.

"Paramount's current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format,'' according to a spokeswoman for Paramount, as quoted by Bloomberg.

The original Financial Times story, says HD DVD backer Toshiba, was speculative. Now the question arises how the normally rock-solid FT got this one wrong. A malicious plant from an anonymous source? Or simple speculation gone awry?

On the other hand, Paramount's "current plan" could certainly change at any time.

In any case, for now, consider this one a rumor that's debunked.

    Well, so much for that. Blu-Ray is still in the driver's seat however and the news still won't detract me for purchasing a PS3.
