HD DVD's lead time is about to get a bit longer; Blu-ray titles won't hitshelves until June 20 now.
If Sony Pictures was to go ahead with the launch as planned this month, the eight titles planned for the format's debut would be gathering dust on shelves as shoppers found themselves unable to buy actual players on which to watch them. It's actually surprising that Sony has waited this long to announce what looked to be an inevitable delay. After all, Samsung told us last month that its BD-P1000 Blu-ray player would miss its planned May 23 appearance due to a need for "additional testing."
