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."

  1. What I want to know is.... by BlueQuark · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why do we care about this anymore? Why is this stuff that 'matters'!?

    I'm just completely sick of all of this crap! Especially the movie business...

    I put seven years of my life into visual effects and film making. (no I didn't want to be a writer/director/producer/actor) I worked as a technical director, systems engineer, manager and worked on some great movies...

    But I'm glad I got the FSCK out when I did, enough of that nonsense. I ALMOST got suckered into working over at a large studio's Imaging Technology group. I said 'Sayonara Suckers' You can't pay me enough to go back and work for those vultures.

    All my friends who still work in the biz, say how lucky I am to be out of the 'Biz'. I find very few who are actually happy. Besides it's going to hell in a handbasket anyways...

    Sorry I wanted to vent.. so screw HD-DVD, BlueRay and all that crap that goes with it.

    READ A BOOK!
