No surprise there. These were scheduled as dual-layered releases, and everybody knows the DL BD is nothing more than a Sony dream right now.

Re: 'Black Hawk Down', 'Sense & Sensibility' pulled indefinitely. 'The Big Hit' delayed
So DaViD, now that the first BD50 releases have been postponed indefinitely, are you officially joining the HD DVD camp? I'm holding you to that "Q4 2006 BD50 or HD DVD for me" statement you made a while back 
For every shadow, no matter how deep, is threatened by morning light.

Why the frown? Your money will be headed to a format that has the same or better video quality, more robust and consistent nextgen audio codec support, more robust and consistent extra features (like In Movie Experience), less restrictive DRM, as well as hardware AND software SD DVD backwards compatibility (as opposed to just hardware like BD) - all for half the price of the competition. Sounds like you should be smiling, not frowning

Re: 'Black Hawk Down', 'Sense & Sensibility' pulled indefinitely. 'The Big Hit' delayed
Why the frown, Pete? I can´t speak für Ryan, but I share exactly his sentiment. And for me the frown stands for the outlook that I would miss all those titles from Fox, Sony and Disney I was looking forward to: No Pixar Animation, no X Men, no Alien, no Lawrence of Arabia etc. etc.
For me really a reason for sadness.

Re: 'Black Hawk Down', 'Sense & Sensibility' pulled indefinitely. 'The Big Hit' delayed
Hartwig,
Don't fret those titles you've listed. There are great titles out now and announced for HD-DVD to keep you busy, and the adoption of HD-DVD by Fox and Disney is inevitable if the format takes off. Disney has stated that they would probably release in both formats, so the groundwork has already been laid. And Lion's Gate has been rumored to be the next studio to announce titles for HD-DVD (I've even heard they have titles mastered already).
There are no announcements for Pixar, X-Men, Alien, Lawrence of Arabia, or Disney animation on BD anyway, so why stress?

You can't miss what hasn't been released
The way things are going, I fully expect to own Fox and Disney HD DVDs this time next year.
Man, an hour wasted on this sig! Thanks, Toshiba! :p

Re: 'Black Hawk Down', 'Sense & Sensibility' pulled indefinitely. 'The Big Hit' delayed
Is the reason for the delay BD 50 & only BD 50?
Or, is Sony waking up to the demands for quality product?
If they are waiting for advanced codec, I'll say this is good news.
Movies are: "The Greatest Artform".
HD should be for EVERYONE!
