Yeah, but it makes sense for them to be hybrids.
Actually, with Syriana being the longest of the "new" releases (126min), maybe they couldn't fit it on a 15GB disc without compromising image quality, so they are doing a 30GB regular HD DVD release.

Some tidbits:
>> Syriana seems to be the first fresh-from-theatre title that is given the HD DVD only treatment instead of the HD DVD/DVD Combo format which was used on other fresh-from theatre titles such as Firewall.

Not that it can't be eventually be true, but the source only qualifies as rumor IMO.

An official announcement overrides information from one retailer.

The compressionist for Batman Begins said his test discs are going for approval this week. He's at AVS and seems like a nice guy. Said he hasn't seen anything about the Matrix yet...so that might not be until the Fall. I'm betting Christmas.
