CES rumor buzz

[Chris Beveridge]

This cropped up over on AVS:

OK, just got off the phone with my Sony Rep again who is currently in Las Vegas for CES. He told me of some more announcements expected at CES next week, they are:

Die Hard Trilogy - Fall 2007
Spiderman 1 & 2 - 04/30/07 (Updated Date)
Pirates of the Carribbean - Summer 2007
Alien - Fall 2007
Oceans 11, 12, 13 - Fall 2007
X-Men 1 & 2 - Summer 2007
Casino Royal - March 2007. Also look for catalog Bond releases starting to hit Blu- ray in the Fall of 2007.
There were more I couldn't write fast enough though!!

He also mentioned that Warner Brothers will reach parity between the two formats by Summer of 2007.

He also mentioned that Disney and Fox will make it clear during CES that they will continue to exclusively support only Blu-ray and they will try to put to bed the rumours that they may support HD-DVD during 2007.

Asked about LionsGate going nuetral and he had no information.

He also mentioned that Universal will solidly stay in HD-DVD's court for 2007 but he has spoken to "higher-ups" who say Universal will be releasing on Blu-ray in early 2008.

**** I STRESS THIS INFORMATION IS NOT OFFICIAL, SO PLEASE DO NOT TREAT IT AS SUCH ****

Once more, if these bear out, why bother with anything else? Solid titles, particularly as both Fox and Sony are ranking high ont he PQ chart these days at places, and AQ is just top notch across the board... the resolve of many will falter in the face of the growing A-list titles.
