HD-DVD titles on the way from Magnolia

Magnolia Home Entertainment, the distribution side of our good friend Mark Cuban's 2929 Entertainment, has announced they will be releasing five HD-DVDs in May. Bubble, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, The War Within and the TV series Bikini Destinations and HDNet World Report Special: Shuttle Discovery’s Historic Mission.

Reuters pegs the prices for the three movies at $29.98 and the two TV sets at $26.98. No specific release dates yet although it is good to see more content announced. If my math is correct, that should give us 25 movies on the shelves by the end of May, hopefully enough to keep early adopters busy as the Blu-ray launch approaches.

Thats good news. Bit expensive but nice.

Those were great movies... Mark Cuban stands for letting the customer choose their medium (these are available on WMV9 discs already) so hopefully these will put on Blu-ray.

Thanks for linking to the list of announced titles. I've been looking for something that comprehensive. I'm kinda psyched about HD-DVD now--just about every movie I own (with a few notable exceptions) is on that list...
