No HD-DVD Movies Until April

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the very-expensive-paperweight dept.

Jed from Pan and Scan writes "It's official: when the first HD-DVD players are released on March 28, there will be no movie titles available in the new high-def format for at least another three weeks, and far fewer than initially announced. Warner, the only studio that was planning on having HD-DVD movies to accompany the format's much ballyhooed debut, will now release just three initial HD-DVD titles -- and not until April 18."

    You can get HD content right now, with no added cost to yourself. I am sure there are a torrent of options that could be found with a bit of searching.

    "Did they just have a monkey throw a dart at the board for those picks?"

    It would have been someone in the marketing department who made these choices, so that's a yes.

    But trust me, there are plenty of movies out there that are much, much worse.
    Indeed they are called Revolutions and Reloaded.
