The List of HD DVD titles

[vurbano]

Robert at VE mentioned that KONG will be out in August. KONG will be the killer app for HD DVD IMO.

Wonder why it takes so long to release a movie? September seems far away.

The main problem they have now is that the authoring software is all new and few people know how to use it. Both HD-DVD and BR are in the startup phases now. People are expecting fancy new menus and such, and of course each film has its legal qualifications as to who has say over what the HD-DVD/BR will look like, i.e. the backgrounds (artwork) on the menus, the flow of the menus, etc.

It is frustrating waiting for them (HD DVD). At least they seem to know what they are doing though. Most are worth the wait.

George Clooney's 'Good Night, and Good Luck' HD DVD is coming out on 8/1: day-and-date with its Blu-ray Disc version.
It will be interesting to compare them side by side.

Watched Sahara last night. Very good transfer. I'm not quite ready to say as good as Riddick, but pretty darn close. Great colors.

Yup! And looks like The Interpreter has been removed from the August list too. Hope they add something else instead.
