* That's the Way of the World (BCI)So, Sherlock, what can you deduce from this imbalance? Have you figured out how many of the Blu-ray titles listed in your prior post will have scheduled release dates come and go without the actual title making an appearance on the shelves? Using your legendary logic and powers of deductive reasoning tell us how many of those movies will have their overly ambitious release dates canceled altogether. Apparently, only 10 HD-DVD titles have been postponed; it would appear that Blu-ray is having much greater problems meeting it's schedules. Food for thought.
BTW, of all the titles listed among the scheduled releases for both formats only two of the upcoming films appealed enough for me to consider rushing out and buying them: on Blu-ray, Master and Commander is quite appealing, even though I already own the standard release, and for HD-DVD, Beowulf. Unlike Master and Commander, Beowolf is on my HD must have list. So, that would be one for the red guys and a definite maybe for blu-boys. Also, until Blu-ray takes Starship Troopers off of the MIA list, I have no reason to consider purchasing a second player to perform Blu-ray functions.
Th-th-th-that's all folks!
Cheers,
AuPh
