Paramount opens Blu-ray support web site

Posted in Blu-ray News

Now that Paramount has jumped back onto the Blu-ray bandwagon, they intend to do things the right way. Paramount has now launched a Blu-ray support website where they’ll promote the studio releases. The site includes a cool features section as well as featured news including that on new Blu-ray players. In the middle of the page you’ll find a “Coming Soon” flash player that loads no content right now but that will soon be filled with Paramount movie content, trailers, promotions, etc. Good to see another major studio giving Blu-ray full fledged support.
