¡Viva Universal! It's reinstating Spanish subtitles for HDM!!

[Grubert]

Some background:

When Universal started releasing HD DVDs in 2006, all of its titles included Spanish subtitles. However, in late January 2007 they stopped including Spanish audio, and none of the titles they released up to the end included Spanish subtitles (and to add insult to injury, the DVD side of their combos did include Spanish audio and subtitles).

I was curious to see what they'd do now that they are beginning to release on BD. The answer has just come when DVD Times put up the specs for their first day-and-date title, Doomsday. Spanish subtitles are included.

This is great news for all of us Spanish-speaking BD owners. (I have no problem with the English audio, but my wife doesn't speak English and, though she can read French, it's obviously much easier for her to read the subtiitles if they are in Spanish).

May I ask what country this pertains too?

USA. See from the HD DVD back covers:


Bourne Supremacy (released 2006): Spanish audio and subtitles


Bourne Identity (released July 2007): no Spanish audio or subtitles

That is great news for a lot of people. My mother is law loves to come to our house to watch movies, but Spanish subtitles are a must for her. Glad to see Universal including them in their upcoming releases.

By the way, I have always thought that they dropped the Spanish from the HD DVDs because of size/bandwidth.

If they didn't cut the French too it was merely because of Canada.
