And considering the DVD is non-anamorphic, that alone makes it worth the upgrade.

Just got word from Paramount. The following HD DVDs have OFFICIALLY been cancelled:
The Jack Ryan Collection
Sweeney Todd
The Kite Runner
We were told that official info about There Will Be Blood and Bee Movie will be coming soon...not sure if that's good news or bad.

What a bunch of crap. It's amazing to me that Warner Bros. is still committed to releasing on HD DVD through May, while a previously HD DVD exclusive studio like Paramount just flips it off like a light switch.

I think we all knew it was going to happen, I just thought that they would've waited until after the release of Sweeney Todd to kill their HD DVD programs.
