HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on December 18th, 2007

As we finish up the run to Christmas, Blu-ray once again has the biggest title this week in the way of The Simpons Movie, which HighDefDigest gave a PQ rating of five out of five stating, "I was continually surprised at how three-dimensional it all looks" but says that Ratatouille remains the "greatest animated movie yet to hit high-def." This week brings them one step closer to 400, but they won't get there before the end of the year. Warner brings Blade Runner to both camps and their latest blu catchup title, Terminator 3. HD DVD has a few exclusives including Balls of Fury and Stardust, while Disney has Underdog for blu. Fox continues to waiver on it's support for Blu-ray by not bringing the hit musical, Once to Blu-ray day and date with DVD this week. With the run to Christmas over, we'll turn our attention to CES, which is only a few weeks away, and we're sure will turn out to be very interesting.
