I'm posting this because (1) I found it, (2) it *may* hold some release strategy nuggets, (3) it's interesting that some titles have *apparently* already been dropped/replaced and (4) it's interesting that some titles are being held for new masters.

I'm just the messenger, the source isn't confirmed, it's not a complete HD DVD title compilation, it's stale data (compiled in January), heck, there many even by a SPHE title in there, so just take it for what it is...an incomplete, 100% unvetted compilation of major studio HD DVD titles and street dates, as of a period of time that has already passed. I'm sure there are people here who have better data, but can't post it, so this might be as good as it gets until all of this is public info.

Here goes...
