Universal Studios has pledged 100 HD DVD titles to be released this year. The company exclusively backs the Toshiba-developed HD DVD format, over the Sony-developed Blu-Ray Disc technology. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this month, many were skeptical about how no major title announcements were made by the studio for the HD DVD format.
Interestingly, the studio said that 90% of all the titles released this year will be "combo discs", meaning on one side there would be HD DVD data, and on the other side would be the good old traditional DVD-Video format. Many catalog titles will be among the releases, including The Bourne Identity, Meet The Fockers, American Pie, Erin Brockovich, and Liar Liar.
