Warner does seem a bit more consumer conscious of late. Didn't an insider recently state that we'd soon see Warner differentiating the Blu and HD DVD content?

Yeah, me and P-Man.

Return to the House on the Haunted Hill will be available on both formats, but on Blu it will have seamless branching but it won't on red.
