Washington, D.C. (August 26, 2007) -- Hollywood legend has it that Louis B. Mayer offered to buy the negative of Citizen Kane from RKO to prevent Kane’s release. Fortunately, RKO refused, and the film now revered as the greatest movie ever made survives for us to watch.

Blades of Glory and Shrek the Third may not be Citizen Kane, but Paramount studios has apparently just taken a big payoff to deny some of their customers of these and other titles that Paramount had been promising.

According to the New York Times, HD DVD promoters are paying $150 million to Paramount/Dreamworks to pay for Paramount dropping its support of Blu-ray while retaining support of HD DVD.

Thats just it, If I had anything riding on the success of one over then other I would care. As it is its about as worth following as what brand of soap BP use in their car wash.
