New Movie Releases in Hi-Rez Only??

A friend told me that he has heard that there have been a few new movies released on Blu-ray ONLY, not on DVD. I thought that he must be wrong, because a release at this time on either HD-DVD or Blu-ray while excluding a DVD version would be financial suicide for the distributor. He said that this was being done to drive the sales of the Hi-Rez machines.

So...who's right?

Kennyt, not to worry! The allotted bandwidth for HDTV only allows for a maximum resolution of 720p or 1080i.

In the meanwhile, let's hope that universal players will soon be plentiful and cheap[er], so all formats of DVD and Hi-Rez can be played.
