Image Entertainment drops HD DVD

Image Entertainment has announced that it has canceled its upcoming HD DVD releases and added that it was dropping HD DVD completely to focus on Blu-ray.

Image is one of the biggest suppliers of independent titles and had supported both HD formats. Over the past two years the company released a large variety of music, special interest and theatrical releases on both formats.



Of the more notable films that have been dropped from their HD DVD releases are 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead' and a few IMAX films.

Blu-ray releases are not affected by the decision and will be released on time.

  They should work on getting movies out on DVD faster rather than working on a format that many consumers are not ready to buy into yet.
