We have more news on the HD DVD/Blu-ray battlefield. Yesterday, Viacom’s Paramount and DreamWorks Animation announced that they will be releasing their DVDs exclusively on HD DVD. They feel that the format has better quality, lower manufacturing costs, and less expensive players available. Included in the first batch of releases will be “Blades of Glory” on August 28,  “Transformers,” and “Shrek the Third.” The agreement includes other movies distributed by Paramount including DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies, and MTV Films, the exception being Spielberg films as they are not exclusive to either format.
