In January, Warner talked about getting the discs out to consumers as early as mid-2007, but a delay pushed Total HD back to early 2008. Now the early 2008 release aim has been revoked and the disc has no release date. "We're concerned that as the only one publishing on it, it would be hard to make it go," Warner Home Video president Ron Sanders told TWICE magazine.
There have been rumors that Warner is currently deciding to go exclusive with either HD DVD or Blu-ray Disc. While Sanders confirmed separate discussions, he seemed to indicate that the movie studio will be supporting both formats for a while and will have titles out for both during the holiday season.
"We're talking to both sides and it's crazy right now," said Sanders. "We remain committed to both for the time being. We'll see how the fourth quarter plays out. The consumer is still kind of divided, and we still believe that we should offer the content in both formats. Now, we will watch the marketplace very closely, and see how it plays out, but for now we are supporting both."
