Warner extends HD-DVD drop date

Not a huge extension but it does give a little more time for Toshiba to try and pull something crazy out.

Re: Warner extends HD-DVD drop date

It has been suggested that this "extension" is nothing more than Warner forcing the HD releases to be 6 weeks after the BD release of the same title. So it would not really be an extension, since no new title releases were added.

Re: Warner extends HD-DVD drop date

Yeah, but there is also another rumor that claims that it coincides with a given date at which Warner will re-evaluate the market and make a determination with what they are going to do.

Re: Warner extends HD-DVD drop date

So you think that in May/June, Warner will re-evaluate if they are going to continue supporting HD DVD or exclusive to Blu-ray only? I think they cannot decide it in just a few days beforehand but it would be at least a few months for them to make the titles in mass quantity. So as CDan said, new title releases is a good indicator.

Re: Warner extends HD-DVD drop date

I don't think we're going to see ANY kind of HD titles in "mass quantity". that's the problem. Consumers aren't embracing either format "en masse", making the fact of 2 formats even more painful for the sellers.

Re: Warner extends HD-DVD drop date

CDan does have a point there. Then again prices on the A3 keep creeping closer and closer to that magical $100 price-point which will make things pretty interesting over the next few months.
