Ils ont choisi le HD-DVD parce que c'est super mieux genial youpi techniquement par rapport au BR, qui parait-il donne la syphillis si tu le regarde trop, ou en fait non :

The NY Times has confirmed via two Viacom executives, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, that Paramount has received a $150M pay-off to support HD DVD exclusively for a period of 18 months. The $150M is comprised of cash and future marketing deals. Also re-confirmed is that the deal includes no films directed by Steven Spielberg.
