HD DVD prematurely blowing its wad

[nhaase]

I don't care if there are other threads on this subject, something tells me mine has the best title!

Uni announced that Knocked Up will be on HD DVD September 25, with Evan Almighty coming out October 9th. The second title there was a disappointment, and the only other title they have left that will make an impact on sales this year is The Bourne Ultimatum.

So they've got one title, albeit an excellent one, to go up against Spidey 1-3, Cars, Ratatouille, POTC 3, and hopefully Die Hard and The Simpsons Movie. Let's not even get into the thoroughly discussed catalogs. I thought Graffeo and Kornblau told us to "wait until the 4th quarter." Well, what are they going to do when they've got to get into the 2-minute drill (I apologize for those across the pond who don't know that American Football term, it means you have two minutes to go the length of the field for a TD)?

They're just like a teen on prom night.
