A report in today's Wall Street Journal said the European Commission is particularly interested in the Sony sponsored Blu-ray (sic) group because it appears to have won the format wars in Hollywood, California.
The report said Jonathan Todd, chief spinner for the EC, has penned a note to major Hollywood studios in the middle of last month asking whether they had imposed "restrictive agreements" in choosing between Blu-ray and Toshiba-sponsored HD-DVD.
A week or two back, a company with shops all over
the place called Blockbuster said it will only stock films using Blu-ray.
Many people are breeding moths in their wallets as they wait to find out how these latest format wars pan out. µ
