Blade Runner Extras SD - Timing??

[Croweyes1121]

From thedigitalbits:

"Okay... we've got a little bit more news for you, starting with some follow-up on the high-def versions of Blade Runner. We've confirmed with Warner that both the Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD editions will feature ALL FIVE VERSIONS of the film in actual 1080p video, but the extras (the documentary, deleted scenes, etc) will all be in standard definition. The reason for this has nothing to do with disc space on either format, but rather timing. Work is still ongoing on some of the extras (it's a big job as you can imagine from the list of specs). Given that, I'm told that even if high-def compression were to start today on the all the extras, there'd be no way to get the high-def versions of the set completed in time to street this year, which is the film's anniversary. That said, even though the extras will be standard def, they're going to be compressed at a very high bitrate and, with upscaling, they should look plenty good. So that's that".

So what they're telling us is that the extras won't be in HD because there's just not enough TIME to do that?? Uh...exactly how long have we been waiting for this release? lol Just curious. I'm not *****ing because this set is going to rock regardless, but what a ridiculous excuse.
