Does anyone know if the movies that were HD-DVD exclusive will now be made for Blu-Ray players? Specifically, I am wondering if Transformers and the Matrix trilogy will be available on blu-ray anytime in the future. I almost kept my A2 just to keep the HD Transformers and Matrix movies.

    I have absolutely nothing to back this up, but I'm thinking we will see former HD exclusives released on blu-ray starting some time this year.

    Warner did announce that The Matrix Trilogy will be coming to Blu-Ray this year. I forget when, but it is. No word on Transformers yet. Reason is that it is a Paramount owned movie. Paramount is exclusive to HD DVD (for now anyway).

    I agree with phuz; I haven't seen any of the studios that have switched come out and say this, probably because they're hoping to sell off what they have made already, but I'd give it another 9 months to a year and you'll see all that stuff start to come out on Blu-Ray.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    As always, these releases are studio dependent. Warner has already announced that Batman Begins and the Matrix will be available sometime in the next year. Transformers is a Paramount/Dreamworks title and will depend on when the widely predicted but yet to be confirmed switch from HD-DVD exclusivity will take place.
