So, Universal: when will we see a Blu-ray title?
Now that NHK have reported Toshiba’s imminent announcement of HD DVD’s
death, Universal’s declaration earlier this year, in Australia, of ‘at
least’ 20 new titles during 2008, must look very shaky. How long now
before they too jump ship and go Blu?

Xbox 360 HD DVD drive price drop good but underwhelming
Ever since Warner ditched HD DVD, forcing Toshiba to massively drop
prices on their HD DVD players, it was only a matter of time before
Microsoft’s HD DVD add-on drive for the Xbox 360 would also have to
dramatically fall in price. Finally... it has happened.

Universal Pictures Australasia to release 'at least' 20 HD DVD titles in 2008
If you thought HD DVD meant ‘high def dead video disc’ and that Blu-ray
had won the war, Universal Australia’s announcement of at least 20 new
titles in 2008 is certainly comforting to local HD DVD player owners –
but is it enough to stem the tide of consumer support for Blu-ray?

Qtrax launches at last, with one catch - no trax.
Qtrax, the supposedly ‘legal’ p2p music download service, is still
enjoying its 15 minutes of fame as the first beta version becomes
available for download at last, but while it’s easy to download, once
you’re in, you quickly discover that despite promises of 25 million
free tracks, Qtrax is still NoTrax for now.

Free music from Qtrax: just a misleading trick?
When Qtrax announced at Cannes 2008 that it had secured the backing of
the world’s major music labels, allowing users to ‘legally’ download
virtually any song from a catalogue of 25 million sourced from p2p
networks, there was a big problem: it doesn’t appear to be true, and
the software still can’t be downloaded.

Universal and Sony BMG bosses still want to sell CD buggy whips
From all accounts, the Midem music industry event in the ultra-chic seaside French resort of Cannes last weekend must have been a love-fest of balding heads wearing earphones bopping along to music from the 60s and 70s and reliving past glories when teenagers used to line up outside record stores waiting to get their copy of the latest Beatles single. Those days are long gone but you wouldn't have known judging by the denialist rhetoric that sprang forth from the mouths of two of the leading recording industry executives.
