Weinstein Co. Sets Date, Specs for Second HD DVD Wave

With little time to spare, the Weinstein Co. has officially set a January 16, 2007, street date for its second wave of HD DVD titles, including 'Clerks II,' 'Pulse' and 'Lucky Number Slevin.'

Each title will receive the 1080p and Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 surround treatment, and a host of extras. Both 'Pulse' and 'Lucky Number Slevin' feature audio commentaries, featurettes and deleted scenes, while 'Clerks II' is a two-disc behemoth with no less than three audio commentaries, a 90-minute documentary, a VH-1 TV special, and more.

Retail is $29.95 a pop.
