We won't have to wait long to find out Universal's plans for Blu-ray, Reuters just noted that later today the studio will announce plans to release about 40 movies on the format in the second half of the year, including Doomsday. The only studio to support solely HD DVD from the beginning will come out with all three of its Mummy films: The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and The Scorpion King July 22 (sounds like someone's bitter about HD DVD and taking it out on Blu-ray owners to us), with catalog releases jumping over from red like Miami Vice, Knocked Up, American Gangster and others before the year is out. | | | | Samsung UE55C6200, Yamaha RX-V2067, Xbox 360, PS3. |

| | Posted: | | | | So I guess HD DVD owners will have to wait until 2009 for any "new" catalog titles to come out... *sigh* Things were so much better back in the good old format war days.  | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | Eh? Someone's still going to release HD-DVD's? From a financial standpoint, it just doesn't make sense, even more so if they're going to wait a year after the format war ended. |

| | Posted: | | | | No. How does "HD DVD owners" exclude Blu-ray owners?
My point is that there will be little "new" for us HD owners (there, better now?) to get on Blu-ray this year, apart from a few new non-catalog releases, since we already own the titles on HD DVD. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |
