HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on March 27th, 2007

As we near the one year anniversary of the format war, HD DVD gets back in the game this week with four new titles, but only one exclusive; Children of Men. Blu-ray has five this week with two exclusives, if you count music videos. It's hard to say which exclusive is better, but IMDB has Children of Men rated above The Pursuit of Happyness, so the tie this week goes to HD DVD. Warner continues its trend to release on both sides with a few documentaries and Happy Feet. The Warner HD DVD titles continue the trend of having better audio than the Blu-ray versions. Maybe this will change with TotalHD discs or when the new BDA rules for player hardware goes into effect.

HD DVD 167 vs Blu-ray 193.
