Confooosed

How is a Fox release coming out on HD DVD? I thought Fox were worldwide distributors rather than the location specific HD DVD/Blu-ray releases from other distributors.

Also, I have edited this thread, lets not stoke an already raging fire please.

According to imdb the distributors are as follows:
* Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation (2007) (USA) (theatrical)
* 20th Century Fox Netherlands (2007) (Netherlands) (theatrical)
* 20th Century Fox (2007) (UK) (theatrical)
* 20th Century Fox (2007) (Japan) (theatrical)
* 20th Century Fox (2007) (Singapore) (theatrical)
* 20th Century Fox de Argentina (2007) (Argentina) (theatrical)
* Warner Bros. (2007) (Philippines) (theatrical)

And it's being distributed by Highlight Video in Germany.

Anyone know when it is released, either format? I seen August 2nd on that page but surely thats too soon?

Would like to get it, and if Germany get it before everyone else Ill order it

[Moosh]

August 2nd is the only date I can find.

But yes, it does seem a bit early.

Different studios have different distributors around the world. As HD DVD is region free you can buy from anywhere. Some BR exclusives in the states are available in Europe on HD DVD.

So is it likely that a lot of Fox releases will be coming on HD DVD via Germany? I bet that would please a lot of HD DVD owners if it were true.

Very likely. Maybe even something like The Simpsons: The Movie could find it's way onto HD DVD!

Pretty good if you can get Rise of The Silver Surfer; but euro distributors don't have a great reputation compared to the big studios.

It would please alot of dual owners as well given how Fox have abandoned their (much-hyped) BluRay schedule

Foxclose just chill out a bit, as someone who has both formats I find it plain silly to watch people get aggravated over the two. Fair play to you posting up news etc... but just try and do it in a more adult way. Its turning into a Carry On film around here lately with all the sly little digs, to be fair its not just you but sometimes your choice of words gets to people.

Anyway ill be having the last laugh when I kick back to watch Forrest Warrior on hddvd

You obviously haven't seen some of the Studio Canal HD DVD's then, most people (myself included) have been extremely impressed with them so far.
