More HD DVD Issues: Warner May Miss Launch Date
“It continually seems like the next-gen DVD format battle isn't going to be resolved or settled anytime soon. HD DVD got a boost after LG joined the HD DVD camp as well as supporting Blu-ray (and told dealers about plans to offer a dual-format player), but now the format has been hit with some setbacks.First, it was Microsoft announcing that, although they officially support HD DVD, the company's Vista OS may not support the format at launch. Now, Reuters is reporting that Warner Home Video, which set March 28 as the date for its first HD DVD titles to be available in stores, says that technical problems may delay the arrival of the discs.
Warner Home Video division president Ron Sanders told Reuters, "To be honest, the outlook is tenuous -- we're still coming out with an initial slate, but we may be a week or two later; we just don't know."
HD DVD players are supposed to be avaliable this month, but does it make sense to shell out at least $500 for a player that may not have any content? None of the other studios have set a date for their HD DVD releases, and Warner's problems aren't helping an already tenuous situation.”source: 'DittoIt' 2006-03-16
