Day and Date HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Releases

[Jakeh1969]

So when do you think we'll start to see hi-def format releases introduced on the same day as SD DVD's?

It's already happened - Mission Impossible 3 went day and date on DVD, HD DVD and BluRay.

Hopefully it will start happening more often and eventually become standard.

I guess it's one of the things that both formats can do to gain more credibility rather than continually reissuing back catalogue titles that people have already seen.....

Although if Mr Warner Bros is listening I wouldn't say no to another version of Michael Mann's Heat with a TruHD soundtrack and new (as long as it's not mpeg2) video encoding being released.
