The Weinstein Co. is shuffling its upcoming HD DVD line-up, moving the late spring releases 'Black Christmas' and 'Harsh Times' back one month to early summer.

The Weinstein Co. has also revealed full details for both titles. Tech specs include 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfers, plus full-blown Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround tracks on each.
