Mission: Impossible III to come out on Blu-Ray, HD DVD and regular DVDs

Paramount Home Entertainment is expected to come out with an ambitious plan to launch their hit movie “Mission: Impossible III” on three DVD formats.

The company plans to release the movie on HD DVD, Blu-Ray and regular DVD disks on the same day. The launch is currently schedule to take place on October 30 this year.

This would make this movie the first one to be available on all these three formats. Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Retailing spoke on this new development: “This is certainly a significant milestone in the launch of the high-def formats. It’s clearly way too soon to know which format is going to prevail, and it may be years. So I think we’ll see a lot more dual-format releases, at least in the short term. The interesting moment will be if we see that from somebody besides Paramount and Warner Home Video, the only two studios that have announced support for both formats.”

The HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc versions would come in 1080p High Definition with 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus.
