Sony Pictures Home Entertainment president Benjamin Feinhold said today that his company’s first Blu-ray movie titles are ready to be released May 23, as promised, but the company is going to delay release until June 20 to better coincide with the availability of the Blu-ray players.
Samsung previously announced its Blu-ray players would be delayed until June 25 in order to compete compatibility testing.
The move is an attempt to make Blu-ray’s launch more coordinated than the awkward roll-out of Toshiba’s competing HD DVD next-generation disk format, which saw limited availability of HD DVD players before HD DVD titles were available.
