Paramount: “Current plan is to support the HD DVD format.” Currently.
Paramount has officially issued its denial of the rumor — originally printed in the Financial Times — that it is very close to ending its exclusive support of HD DVD. The quick end to what had been reported as an 18-month agreement could be the result of a “get out” clause triggered by Warner Bros.’ sudden departure from HD DVD releases. Whether this will follow last year’s “Universal may switch” rumor, that didn’t happen, or last month’s “Warner may switch” rumor, that did, remains to be seen. Until we hear otherwise, Paramount, Transformers and Shrek are still HD DVD only, whether they like it or not.
Looks like last night’s rumor was just that, a rumor. It’s kinda sad actually. I was hoping that the format wars would end soon so I could commit to a high-def player.

In Las Vegas after the CES show when I was in a Hotel elevator by myself leaning on the wall after a long day on the CES floor. The elevator stopped on the second level of the casino
about 9 to 10 men came in to the elevator the first few men that came in had seen me but appairently the last ones in did not, they were taller than me and I could not be seen behind the other men. you could tell they were talking about the CES show but some one in the front of the elevator said “I need to buy Time Warner” then it was very quiet an no one said anything else,
just dead quiet. I could see his side but not his face, The elevator door opened and we all steped out and as I walked away I turned around and looked at the man that said “I need to buy Time Warner” It was Bill Gates!
I still dont think he knew I was in the elevator with him. I dont think I was supposed to hear what he said.
