Theatrical revenues declined 7% to $247 million. That was offset in part by a 22% bump in home entertainment revenue on one-time items including a $29 million payout from Toshiba for Par’s exclusive backing of the HD-DVD. The format lost the DVD war last year to Sony’s Blu-ray. Viacom said homevid revenue would have been down slightly if the payout wasn’t included due to lower catalog sales.

Didnt we already know there was a payout? Every deal on both sides had them. Or are you as one of the chief blublood trolls trying to get one last dig into HD DVD? I mean who the F&ck cares anymore?
 

Exactly. Between him and you know who, i tell ya.

Heres the SOP, post anything you want about bluray as long as its negative. Post anything positive or a slight on Tosh then you are a troll or a blublood.

Get over it. I just posted an article with NO comment from myself, figured some might be interested in the actual price since people on here(including the two whiners) love to make claims without numbers.


Think its time to change your meds.

Just take a look at the thread titles in the War zone along with who posts in the BLU-RAY forum and you'll figure out whos trolling.

An article that 4 days old in which you post nothing about the main topic except a negative HD DVD passage buried deep in the article? WHo is the troll here? WHo has a problem letting things go?
 
Thanks for proving my point.


Its exactly what I said, info on the payout amount, nothing more. You just see it as trolling because its not anything bad about BD or Sony. In other words, its not what you agree with.
 
Nope. Its as ridiculous as posting HD DVD vs BD sales figures.:rolleyes:
Naw. What's ridiculous is your taking every opportunity to slam Blu-ray. Your posts are becoming background noise.
 
Waiting for Fox, Disney, Lionsgate, Universal and Warner to fess up that they got paid too. Several porn companes allegedly got paid by Toshiba, too.
 
I wonder how much people around here would have to be paid to quit complaining about the payoffs.
