The inclusion in the January 29 update of our "Coming Soon List" of three Steven Spielberg classics was an error on our part. The HD DVD Promotion Group expresses sincere apologies to Steven Spielberg, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and HD DVD fans for this mistake. We will endeavor to prevent any similar mistake and to provide accurate information.

I guess Steven didn't like the fact that his movies were put on a list before he was asked.

Ouch!

The fact that they have to say sorry, I think says a lot!

It would make them look like fools if they didn’t.
They are just covering their arses.

Releasing Spielberg titles would make too much business sense. Can't have any of that.

Losing faith in HD DVD every day. Own about 40 titles and haven't bought a new one in a considerable amount of time because of sheer lack of content.

Heh, no loss for me, outside of JPIII and Jaws, I wouldn't be buying his other titles newayz...but I agree with his right in wanting to at least be informed of stuff like this BEFORE hand, doh!

I was always very suspicious those mentioned titles would be out so soon.

HD-DVDers are avoiding this thread like the plague. I wonder why?

becuase its nothing to be added if you want us to come here and start a flame war with bd guys well i think you need to post it in another area (BD forum)they love to fight overthere

If this apology was prompted by Speilberg (and I'm sure his press agent had something to do with this) then all I can say is how nice it must be to be Speilberg...oh, to be a priss and a billionaire... :rolleyes:

What a whole hour into the original post? One word, classy.

Talking about fishing for a fight.

As somebody else has said, what else is there to say? The HD-DVD promotion group overstepped themselves, and they had to take it back and apologize.

Dammit!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

This won't help HD-DVD in the format war. That's one of the only things Universal has going for it is the Spielberg titles. If he's holding them up, there's not much else they can do to compete with the Blu-ray lineup.

Maybe they are in talks but the info was released a little too early.

Maybe they are too busy posting in the other thread about this.


It would make them look like fools if they didn’t.
Or, it would make them look like Sony.

Settle down guys. I posted this as news, not to spark a battle thread (you can do that in the HD Software version of the thread). Let's just comment on the news, and not put any Blu-ray spin on this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

This Spielberg business is exactly the same reason why Star Wars is not coming to Blu Ray any time soon. Spielberg and Lucas are good friends. Neither will allow their titles to be released until a huge install base has been created. Give it 2-3 years at the least.

Get over it.

It was a mistake and was corrected quickly.

Move on

I guess the HD Group now has to resort to passing out misinformation to the public in hopes some will buy into HD-DVD.

yeah, they learn that trick from the best in the industry, the BDA.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
i peed my pants..... LMFAO!

Mistake? It was deliberate deception!
They probably never would have changed the list if they weren’t called out on it.

Right now the HD Camp will do anything to get good press and that would include manufacturing false information.

Indeed. Reading Bob Meridian posts gives me Deja-Moo... I'm sure I've read that bullsh!t somewhere before...

What now for HD-DVD? another load of mundane unconfirmed releases to play on a load of cheapo chinese players that MAY be coming out this year :rolleyes:
If thats the game plan for HD-DVD :o :o

Bummer.

And God, I hate fanboys...of any type.

Nah.

They're going to announce a bunch of confirmed titles that they'll bump later so you can play on your ridiculously overpriced players. :rolleyes:

P.S. I'm sorry about the accident...

Lets move on folks.
