Well, theyll have pretty much all independant film makers trying to get their stuff released on HD-DVD now as Amazon.com and Microsoft have got together and are looking to release at least 1000 indie movies on HD-DVD by the end of the year.

and here is a quote from Microsofts Amir Majidimehr, corporate vice-president for the consumer media technology group:

QuoteThe program is for this year, and even shorter time frame than end of the year. I suspect there will be hundreds new titles by fall and well surpass the 1000 mark by the end of the year. Indeed, our biggest worry is what to do when far more demand materializes than the current target.
