HD DVD is... Death Proof!

[Rhylliam]

Okay, okay, before you start murdering me on posting an HD thread on Blu-ray.com, let me explain. I was 1st an HD DVD adopter and have been blu/purple since September '08 (post "war"). The HDs & Blus are both quality products, I have 150 HD DVDs & will not be getting rid of em. Most I got at amazing deals anyhow. Now the funniness:

Death Proof (in steelbook) was to be released on HD DVD May 31st, 2008 in Germany. The release was canceled like so many others (overseas: No Country.., We Own the Night, 30 Days of Night, etc.), however many of the discs & cases had already been produced. They have been sitting in a warehouse for months now and much like the HD DVD for P2, will actually be reaching the shelves of consumers. On Dec. 15th 2008, the disc will be available from a bunch of online retailers for about 10 Euros. Fine deal if ya ask me. So I ordered mine lol. Anyone else surprised by this?
