The Format Of The Deal

The deal for Paramount Pictures to buy DreamWorks was "officially" announced on Sunday and the details of sale are all over the media today. While the participants dot the "I"s and cross the "T"s, I stand by my notion--which I wrote about on Saturday:

It will be interesting to see what this sale ultimately does for Paramount, in the long run for now, I say "not much".

Until I read DVDFile's latest editorial on the forthcoming home entertainment format war, I had no idea that the sale might affect which new format comes out on top down the road.

The game of chess continues...
