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

TheTwelve6648d 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)

lodossrage6648d 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.

It’s not that Gen Z isn’t interested in AAA or story driven games, a lot of them simply don’t have the financial freedom to explore. When you’re budgeting, you stick to games that give the most value for the least cost, which is why ecosystems like Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft dominate. What looks like a preference is often just economic constraint.

This really doesn't mean anything, when you can pirate PC games with a mature or AO rating. 😂 You can pirate without any age restriction bullshit.

wtf are you talking about? they are talking about raising the age in EU for games that have loot boxes etc. in them. This is for online games mostly you absolute maroon.

Controversial take but maybe parents could start parenting and be more attentive and involved in their kids life? Then maybe other adults can buy whatever they'd like without worrying about "the children" that aren't in the slightest a concern to em, cause…they're not their children? Also we don't need to stop letting out of touch boomers in government from deciding what is and what isn't "good" for people in the US. There is a surprising amount of things that are banned in this country that in multiple other countries are more of a net positive, yet for some reason they aren't allowed here.

this doesn't look all that bad maybe you should read it first. daily login, battle passes, loot boxes etc. will affect the rating although this only affects games that are going to be released from june onward, for now at least. they are looking at addictive design which are not good and online games are filled with them. though im not sure this will do much anyways so you're fine.
