Reports from retailers indicate that the cheaper £300 HD-A1 was the
biggest seller, followed by the pricier £450 HD-XA1. The news is somewhat
encouraging for the HD DVD format considering there were only two movies
available on launch day last Tuesday: The Last Samurai and Phantom of the Opera.
Other movies due out this week and next week include Warner’s Million
Dollar Baby, Universal’s Serenity, Doom and Apollo 13. By the end of the month
additional HD DVD titles will include Assault on Precinct 13, Jarhead, U-571
and the dismal, Van Helsing.
Still no word from Toshiba about when it will re-supply stores but
considering the pressure from Blu-Ray, this is not the time to suffer
production delays.
