Universal Brings 'Atonement' to HD DVD from highdefdigest

Underlining the continued confusion surrounding Universal's transition to Blu-ray support, the studio today confirmed a March HD DVD arrival for the Oscar-nominated epic, 'Atonement.'

Though Universal announced early last week that it would switch alliances from HD DVD to Blu-ray, the studio has yet to put a timetable on the transition, telling us as recently as last Friday that the fate of their entire upcoming HD DVD slate was in flux.

Adding to the confusion, today Universal confirmed earlier retail reports that it is planning an HD DVD/DVD Combo debut of the Keira Knightley-James McAvoy epic romance 'Atonement' for March 18 (day-and-date with the standard DVD release).

What is this shit? Why no Blu-ray announcements? At least they could release it on both formats before they leave HD-DEAD, but why only??
