Still some sort of hope for HD DVD, if only for collection purposes.

Still waiting on the likes of Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan etc

Really starting to enjoy this HDM business, going to enjoy both sides of the fence and just wish the first BD 2.0 players would hurry up and come out.

This is no macabre joke, HD DVD fans: DreamWorks has announced an April Fool's Day arrival for the Tim Burton-Johnny Depp musical 'Sweeney Todd.'

In an early alert to retailers, DreamWorks has set an April 1 HD DVD release for the $50 million-grossing 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,' due day-and-date with the standard-def DVD.

Haven't seen the movie... but I keep hearing it is good... the previews make me REALLY not want to go see it though... doesn't look like my type of movie.

I hate musicals myself... HATE THEM.

But it's more like talking in rhymes, rather than singing.

Lots of gore too.

If you like Burton films, this is one of his best... apparently.

Yeah... was like six months atleast, sometimes longer.

Really did get your moneys worth going to the cinema then.
