New Movie Releases in Hi-Rez Only??

A friend told me that he has heard that there have been a few new movies released on Blu-ray ONLY, not on DVD. I thought that he must be wrong, because a release at this time on either HD-DVD or Blu-ray while excluding a DVD version would be financial suicide for the distributor. He said that this was being done to drive the sales of the Hi-Rez machines.

So...who's right?

Something really obscure, maybe. I can't imagine a single movie that would get people to invest in one format, just to see that movie, especially since nobody(to sspeak of) has 1080p display device.

Oh, like people who do have 1080p are not gonna buy Blu-ray and/or HD-DVD play-back devices....?
