HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on April 17th, 2007

HD DVD is officially back now, with the first week that we can remember where HD DVD has twice as many new titles. Blu-ray only has two catalog titles from Warner this week, both of which have been available on HD DVD for some time. HD DVD also has a few catalog titles, but a few new ones as well including: Feast and School for Scoundrels, both of which include TrueHD sound tracks. Smokin' Aces is arguably the biggest title this week and it's from HD DVDs biggest supporter. We're not sure what happened to the other Blu-ray titles that were previously scheduled today, perhaps the studios decided to wait for BD+ or even some new players with new features.

HD DVD 176 vs Blu-ray 203.
