Only 5 for me. Just getting started. Just bought an HD-A20. First 3 came with the player:

The Mummy Returns
Pitch Black

I'm just getting started too. I only have 7 so far, all in HD DVD.

- Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series
- Digital Video Essentials HD
- V for Vendetta
- Batman Begins
- The Thing
- Happy Feet
- King Kong

Having the Canadian $ so close the the US $ makes amazon.com REALLY attractive.

Cheers.

Where's the HD DVD 0 / Blu-ray 0 option?

james99 · 2007-06-13, 07:59 PM

It was there for the previous 3 polls but the poll option now has a limit of 24 so I had to let one go.

Greetings

I'm at 120 HD and 85 Blu now ...

But hopefully Zip services will reduce that a bit. No more junk titles ... or so I keep telling myself.

regards

Paulo · 2007-06-14, 12:30 PM

I hear you Michael !! There are a few titles I bought that perhaps I should have passed on...

Constantine
V for Vendetta
King Kong
The Complete Matrix Collection
Terminator 3
Last Samurai
The Architect
Fast & Furious TD
Pitch Black
Chrinicles of Riddick
The Worlds Fastest Indian
Lady in the Water
Batman Begins
The Departed
Happy Feet
Poseidon
The Perfect Storm
Training Day
Phantom Of the Opera
The Ant Bully
The Mummy Returns
The Italian Job

36 in total.... I can't recall the other titles.

How many people are buying HD titles only because the PQ is amazing, ignoring the fact that the movie itself was pretty horrendous? I've seen some titles that I would not waste $5 on. But I guess that's all subjective eh?

Cheers.

Paulo · 2007-06-14, 03:33 PM

Exactly shabbs!!!
PQ & AQ is amazing to say the least!
Take Fast & Furious or Poseidon for example, they are what they are, entertainment...but hear the Dolby True HD or DD+ tracks on them... the LFE alone will knock you out!! Hence, the purchases.
There have been a few titles ie. Lady in the Water or Fast & Furious TD that I probably should have just rented the HD DVD version of the movie.
As soon as my local video store starts to carry HD DVD movies for rent I certainly will reduce the number of purchases, especially of certain titles.
