Star Wars Still Not Slated for HighDef

According to John Singh, spokesperson for Lucasfilm Ltd., "Lucasfilm Ltd. has no plans to release any of the Star Wars movies on Blu-ray or HD DVD. Listings on Amazon.com or any other Web site are purely speculative and erroneous."

Amazon.com also has a speculative listing for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy on HD DVD. New Line Cinema hasn't discussed its plans for Lord of the Rings, beyond hinting at CES that the trilogy is in the works. New Line's parent company is Time Warner, also parent company of Warner Brothers. Warner supports both Blu-ray and HD DVD.

Amazon.com declined to comment on how the shopping site generates such information.

ben hates you6206d ago

these could be what decides the war

gta_cb6205d ago

i can tell you would like these on high deff by your avatar lol =D

JasonPC360PS3Wii6206d ago

There isn't a clear winner yet in the HD DVD and Blu-Ray war, it's still neck and neck.

gta_cb6205d ago

yeh there good on DVD =)

or if you live in the UK you could bye Sky+ then record the Starwars in high deff off the movie channel =D simple, and costs MUCH less! =)

crazyman6206d ago

Star wars and lord of the rings are all huge movie series that people will pay more than average for a better version of (I own all the EE vesions of LotR). If they go exclusive they may sway quite a few people.

I personly want to get the Hd DVD drive for 360 but theres no must get movie, If SW or LotR go to HD DVD only I will get one, I dont care if they do abbandon it the week after Id be happy with just those films.

gta_cb6205d ago

true dude! some films will make such a difference! =) and Starwars is deff one of them.

Dreamworker6206d ago

i am sure lucas will come out with a anniversary edition on DVD end of the month. I don't think he will release a blu ray or hd-dvd of star wars. The base of this new formats is still to small.

gta_cb6205d ago

yeh i although i would love to see them release this on High Deff i reckon they would only wanna release them once, and with a battle going on...

[EDIT]
this is off topic but look i have replyed to everyone so far lol

Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider pours scorn on EA's AI dreams.

"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".

Phil Spencer and the Battle for Xbox’s Soul

Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.

This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in

rlow13h ago

I disagree, Xbox from the get go innovated and changed the industry. They did a lot of firsts and standardized a lot of others. It wasn’t till the beginning of the Xbox1 era that things started to go south.

Phil wants Xbox to be as soulless as him!

Tacoboto5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.

Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.

Markdn5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
