National Geographic Goes Blu-ray Exclusive


Posted January 30, 2008 by Josh
  National Geographic has confirmed that they will only be releasing high definition titles on the Blu-ray format. The decision to go format exclusive comes after Warner Brothers, the company which distributes their content, decided to go Blu-ray exclusive earlier this month. While no official press release will be issued on the subject by National Geographic, all future releases will fall under this new policy.

The first title to fall under this new policy will be the April release of 'Sharkwater' which should get officially announced soon. National Geographic is the latest studio to switch to Blu-ray exclusivity, and the third to do so under the Warner umbrella (joining ranks with New Line and HBO). The only Warner holdout left is BBC, who remains format neutral and will continue to release on both formats.

The only National Geographic high definition release thus far has been 'Relentless Enemies', which was released almost a year ago. Hopefully, with the format war finally ending, we'll see more content from the legendary company.

I imagine it won't be long before everything is bluray exclusive because HDDVD will be gone and forgotten.

Yeah, its kind of a non-issue. Distribute your movie/films in high definition. Either digitally or BluRay. That format war is over, which is good. Because I want BSG on BluRay!
