It's great to finally see an announcement from Universal. While the majority of the titles mentioned by name are a little too close the 'PS3 demographic' for comfort, I am encouraged nonetheless. I am particularly happy about the news that Universal 'will soon release all its new videos on the victorious Blu-ray rival at the same time as its standard DVDs'.
I was surprised not to see Serenity specifically mentioned, but if Fox is putting out Firefly on BD later this year that title is a 'sure thing'. All in all, I think it is safe to draw some conclusions from these early 'announcements'. Namely, if you were interested in picking up some Universal HD DVD titles that fell outside of the 'PS3 demographic', you've probably got a good year or two's wait before you see them on BD.

I wonder how they'll do Miami Vice? Seamless branching between the theatrical and extended cuts? |
I was wondering exactly the same thing about Miami Vice, and hoping both cuts of American Gangster received HD treatment via the same means.
