Warner Home Video might have had to cut sales projections but are still supporting HD, announcing three HD DVD releases and four Blu-ray discs due on October 31st. The highest profile title of the seven is V for Vendetta which will include Warner's In Movie Experience (IME), to view director commentary while the movie plays in the background. Joining V on HD DVD are Excalibur and Under Siege. Under Siege is also making its Blu-ray bow on the same day, along with The Phantom of the Opera, Searchers and Unforgiven. All will include the extras present on the standard DVD version -- no 1080p HD extras, 50GB discs or 30/9 combos here -- and we don't expect them given their $28.98 MSRP. Our Google Calendars are of course updated with the releases. Blu-ray may be catching up a bit, with one extra release, but we're sure some who were lucky enough to get a PS3 pre-order are looking to see when V for Vendetta crosses into the Blu.HD DVD release schedule

Yeah baby V for Vendetta! Verified for veracity and volume heheh
I was lucky enough to snag a PS3 preorder today so couple that with the HD-DVD add on and Im all set for all my HD needs
Vendetta and Excalibur will most surely be mine. October turning out to be a great month. :-)
... Hate to say it, but it really isn't worth it. I'd rather see more classics like the Phantom of the Opera...
1st, the Phantom of the Opera is not the classic version, but rather the one from last year.
2nd, It was one of the first titles to come out for HD DVD.
3rd, Please don't HD DVD because it's beautiful.
Cant wait for V for Vendetta, now the only release im stil waiting on from Warner is Harry Potter. Keep up the great work Warner (Batman begins, Superman returns, V = love for HDDVD)
