Sony said it will deliver its first seven titles in the high-definition Blu-ray format to retail stores on June 20.
Sony Pictures said the title rollout will coincide with the first commercially available Blu-ray DVD player from Samsung Electronics and a Blu-ray-compatible PC from Sony.
The stakes are huge for Sony, which has developed the standard known as Blu-ray, which is to compete against a rival high-definition standard known as HD-DVD that was developed by a group led by Toshiba Corp.
Among those titles that Sony plans to roll out on June 20 are "50 First Dates," "The Fifth Element," "Hitch" and the "House of Flying Daggers."
Further Blu-ray titles will be released by Sony in coming weeks.
