Warner Confirms 'Million Dollar Baby' HD-DVD Delay
Posted Tue Apr 18, 2006 at 01:16 PM PDT by
HD-DVD officially launched today nationwide as scheduled, but one title
was conspicuously absent from the festivities. Due to last-minute production
snafus, Warner has been forced to delay the release of '
Million
Dollar Baby' on HD-DVD by a few days, the studio is confirming.
A studio spokesperson told High-Def DVD Digest that rather than postpone the launch of
all three of its initial HD-DVD offerings, including '
The
Last Samurai' and '
The
Phantom of the Opera,' Warner opted to delay only shipments of 'Baby.' The
studio expects all retail pre-orders for the title should be fulfilled by the
beginning of next week.
The disc's technical specs, features and suggested $34.99 list price remain unchanged.
