The 'distilled news' are now on post #2 of this thread.
Sales information is on post #4. Just scroll down! :) The release calendar for 2006 is still here Code:
Color coding: Red= HD DVD title not announced on Blu-ray Blue= Blu-ray title not announced on HD DVD Orange= HD DVD title announced on Blu-ray elsewhere in the calendar Green= Blu-ray title announced on HD DVD elsewhere in the calendar St: studio (D=Disney, F=Fox, L=Lionsgate, M=MGM, P= Paramount, S= Sony, U= Universal, W=Warner, O=Other) DT: disk type (DL=dual layer, SL: single layer, CO: combo - undefined HD side; SC: combo with SL HD side, DC: combo with DL HD side) VC: video codec (V=VC-1, M=MPEG-2, A=AVC) PQ: picture quality rating given by highdefdigest Audio: DD+= Dolby Digital+, DD= Dolby Digital, DTHD= Dolby TrueHD (lossless), PCM= uncompressed LPCM, DTH= DTS HD, DTMA= DTHS Lossless Master Audio This calendar contains all firm titles that are going to be released for the American market. There are many other lists, but they are arranged alphabetically, or by format and/or studios. Here I intend to make a list by release date, so that anyone can use it to see what is available at any given moment. I'll update it as more information is disclosed. To qualify, a title must have been announced by the studio (with price and availability date), or be available for preorder (not availability notification or obvious placeholder) at two different North American sites. Note all data are subject to change at any time until release date. |

Starting from scratch (kinda).
|
Did you mean 03/07 for The Untouchables and The Warriors DC?
|
That should be 7/3
|
Would anyone else like to see the schedule changed to just using red and blue rather than the other colors? I guess the intention is to show what's getting released on both, but dual-format titles are going to be listed consecutively anyway, so if you see a title in both colors it's easy to see it's on both.

How about just three colors: Blue, Red, and Green for multi format titles. At this point does it really matter which format it came out first on?

2 or 3 colors would be great. Sometimes I get confused by the different colors.
|
I agree that the 4 different colors is tough to read/follow.
I'd suggest regular black text for titles on both, and then the the obvious red (HD DVD) and blue (BD). Seems to cover all the bases. |

my distributor is showing that the Road Warrior and Battle of the Bulge is pushed back to 05/15 for both formats.
For BR: Daddy's Little Girls: 06/12/07 msrp:$39.99 |
Got some BR news:
The Lives of Others has been delayed/cancelled. onto some new street dates for BR: all of these will be comind 07/03/07 with msrp of $28.95 Flatliners The Patriot (Gibson/Extended) Wild Things (Unrated) on a side note: I just found out that Digital Video Essentials HD-DVD will finally be arriving at my door next friday. I placed my order on 10/20/06. I can finally mark that one off my list. |
Excellent...Ill snag the Patriot
|
That's three more titles from Sony I don't want. Hey, at least they're keeping me from buying too many of these things.
It's too bad about The Lives of Others, as I was wanting to check that out. I'm surprised it was even on the schedule though. |
I wish Sony would offer both cuts of the movies or just release the theatrical versions.
|
With the space of Blu-ray discs, Sony should have no problem putting both cuts of the movie on the same disc. Reviews indicated that The Patriot extended cut, just reinserted the deleted scenes into the movie.

Never heard of The Lives of Others. Looks like it made about 6.5 million in the USA if this is the correct movie: http://imdb.com/title/tt0405094/ I can't understand why Sony would not release this.-ohbfrank- Flatliners is a great movie with lots of stars that was hardly a bomb for its time. I think this is a great movie to release. I will be picking up all three releases. |
