Something just occured to me, will Titanic be on HD-dvd or Blu-ray? The film is owned by 20th Century Fox outside of the US and Canada, Paramount was brought in later on to help pay for the huge budget.

Then it probably won't be released any time soon. Probably after the 18 month contract with Paramount is up, which, if thedigitalbits is right, the new formats won't matter because they'll be a niche market (assuming there's still two formats).
