HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on July 24th, 2007

Once again this week Universal takes it to the Blu-ray camp and releases a slew of titles, which brings their camp to within ten of the competition. Sure, most of them are catalog titles, but if they keep this up they'll regain the lead. So much for Blu-ray's superior studio support -- that's right FOX, we're talking to you. The Contract seems to be the hottest titles this week, but none of them compare to next week's big title: 300.

HD DVD 257 vs Blu-ray 267.
