Warner's remaining HD DVD support will include a three week delay?

In Warner's press release stating they'd go Blu-ray exclusive, they also indicated that HD DVD titles would not be released day and date with Blu-ray titles. During the conference call after the release, someone asked what the delay would be and at the time Warner said they were still working out the details. Well, Format War Central noticed that Amazon is showing a three week delay for Warner's new title The Invasion.

Could this also help Blu-ray sales before June 1st when they go full blu-ray exclusivity.

Wow looks like my prediction on this could have been right

TheTwelve6704d ago

Warner said this from the very start, but people were so excited by them going Blu that nobody saw it or skipped over it. Trust me, HD DVD is very screwed.

We all knew that they are getting delayed but we didn't know about the 3 weeks if this story can be believed.

Maybe Toshiba & microsoft could offer them some money to release the same day as the bluray counter part.

looks like warner didnt think the final nail in the coffin was enough, they are putting more nails in!

If Warner Bros. was a woman i would so tap that.... :D ..... :O

To entice adoption of the new format (and to screw with Toshiba a little more)

lodossrage6704d ago

Yes, they should delay the normal dvd versions too. It would make the society's transition to high def that much quicker. So I have to agree with you.

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
