The mods posted an article late last year that told us MGM was going on Hi Def hiatus for the rest of the year (and prolly into this year early). So, now that the war is about over, I suspect that MGM will get with it again since Warner made its decision.

WimeTime, 2001: A Space Odyssey is out on blu now, by WB. Ronin was pushed back for a Father's Day promotion (along w/ some other titles), and Lucky Number Slevin was released on HD DVD last year by the Weinsteins.

I went to the mgm website and looked at their catalog... the 2001; a space odyseey was the old version, no the recent one, and all these movies were on there.

I looked at imdb.com, and MGM did handle the theatrical distribution. Regardless, it is out now, and it is the Stanley Kubrick-directed movie, so you do not have to wait for that one.

I would get Ronin from Japan, but I'm patient enough (ie. I've got too many movies I need to watch) to wait for its US release and not pay the extra shipping fee for getting it overseas.
