Warner Home Video delays HD releases

slow-ride used our news submit to tell us about this story spotted at the IMDB website. "No surprise here really. Any smart company will eventually realize that another format war won't be good for anyone's business."

Warner Home Video, which had said in January that it planned to be the first to release movies in the high-definition HD DVD format as it set a March 28 date, has now indicated it won"t be able to meet that schedule. "To be honest, the outlook is tenuous _ we"re still coming out with an initial slate, but we may be a week or two later; we just don"t know," division president Ron Sanders told Home Media Retailing magazine.

Good news. Hope it gets delayed indefinitely along with Blu-Ray.

DukeNukemI actually look forward to buying HD movies... next year !!! I think HD-DVD will win out over Blu-ray for four reasons: 1) HD-DVD has the initial fan base, it's DVD evolved. 2) HD-DVD movies will probably be less expensive (they cost less to produce) 3) HD-DVD drives will initially be 40% cheaper than Blu-ray drives 4) Blu-ray needed PS3 to take off, and we all know about the delay there.
