Warner Bros. queues up three new HD DVD titles [Update 2]
Warner just likes surprising people, announcing that they will be releasing three new HD DVD movies June 6, including one day-and-date with the DVD release, Harrison Ford's Firewall. The other two movies are Constantine and The Perfect Storm, which will list at $28.99. Firewall will be the second hybrid HD DVD/DVD disc after Rumor Has It (thanks WiFiSpy) and cost $39.99. Their HD DVD release plan must make sense to someone, but since you can't even pre-order them from Amazon.com or queue some of them on Netflix just a week before release, it will be hard for potential customers to keep up.[Updated price of Firewall, combo disc]

Think of it, that surprise of ooo this is out can carry you right into the store. Even I'm tempted to buy Firewall - though I wouldn't have under other circumstances.
The last second surprise gives you less time to think about the actual movies. Perfect strategy for early adopters.
