Last week, we reported Warner Bros' decision to release only three HD DVD titles, "Million Dollar Baby"; "The Last Samurai" and "The Phantom of the Opera," instead of the twenty titles originally planned for HD DVD launch. WB also announced at that time it will release these three movies on April 18.

Toshiba originally planned to roll out the first HD DVD players on mid March but due to the lack of movie titles, the creator of the HD DVD format has decided now to release its upcoming HD-A1 and HD-XA1 players in April.
