Whoops... Sony's victory dance seems a little premature:

Fox Throws A Wrench Into Their March/April Blu-ray Plans
February 13, 2007

This morning several customers who pre-ordered a number of Fox and MGM
titles unexpectedly received an email from retailers either postponing
or canceling their order altogether. Something was up but nothing had
been announced by the studio signaling a catastrophic release day
event.

Moments ago we received word from Fox that 13 titles originally
scheduled for release in either March or April have been indefinitely
delayed. Call it the unlucky number 13 or steering clear of the recent
rash of new theatrical debuts slated for late March, but it would now
appear the once massive gap between upcoming Blu-ray and HD DVD
releases has temporarily shrunk. At least until Fox issues new
releases dates, which their announcement seems to indicate are on the
way sooner rather than later.

The titles affected by this massive shake-up include:

March

* Ice Age
* Dodgeball
* Commando
* Thomas Crown Affair
* Dances With Wolves

April

* Tristan & Isolde
* Dude Wheres My Car
* The Fly
* Turistas
* Hannibal
* Silence of the Lambs
* To Live and Die in LA

We'll be sure to pass along new release date information as soon as
Fox sends it along.
