MGM Pledges Support for Sony Blu-ray Next-Generation DVD Format

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on November 10, 2005 - 8:20am.
Los Angeles - Film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) announced on Thursday that it will release films on Sony's Blu-ray next-generation DVD format. The announcement gives Sony a solid advantage over rival Toshiba's HD DVD format in terms of studio support; recently, both Warner Bros. and Paramount said they would release movies on both Blu-ray and HD DVD -- after previously announcing support for only HD DVD. So far, no studio that first pledged support for Blu-ray has said it will also support Toshiba's format. MGM was recently acquired by an investor group that includes Sony.
