for HD-DVD there is almost nothing new in the MOVIE section :

HDScape Sampler [HD DVD disc format] 7.89 pounds ($14.99)
Fireplace - Visions Of Tranquility [HD DVD disc format] 7.89 pounds ($14.99)
The Osmonds - Live [HD DVD disc format] [2006] 11.49 pounds ($21.84)
FIFA World Cup - All The Goals Of Germany 2006 [HD DVD disc format] 14.99 pounds ($28.49)
Pat Metheny Group-the Way Up [HD DVD disc format] [2005] 12.74 pounds ($24.22)


it seems like there is no HD-DVD movie for preorder on amazon.co.uk...

so those prices on amazon.fr with 29.98 euro = $38.089 are more expensive

Ooh, that Pat Metheny HD-DVD looks like it may be a purchase.

 

[Chris Dugger]

Should have it by the 27th at the latest....

It is up for order at the Amazon UK site..... and if you check for new and used, there was a person in florida that had a new copy for sale...

Marek

 

[ppltd]

Much thanks, Marek. I will be looking forward to your review.

Now the question is, why in the world are they holding off the US release.

 

[Chris Dugger]

Ok....

Here are the goods.... Harry Potter on HD!

Video: 1080p / 16X9 / 2.4:1

Audio: Dolby TrueHD: English 5.1 / Dolby Digital +: English 5.1, French 5.1, Spanish 5.1

This looks like a complete port of the 2 disc SD version with the exception of the IME.

This is the USA cut of the film....

This is just the thread I need to ask a question in!

Ordered "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire" [HD DVD] from Amazon.co.uk for £16.59.

Could someone please tell me how much £16.59 is when converted to United States Dollars?

FYI: It was shipped via DHL Express and the estimated arrival date is 29-November-2006.

Thanks,

Paul

 

[MarekM]

$30-34, depends on ratio £-$

Was the version of GOBLET OF FIRE released theatrically in Europe a different cut of the film?

Vincent

 

[Paul Hillenbrand]

Thanks Marek for the info.

The Exchange Rate Calculator is a great help. Thanks.

""Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire" (HD DVD) arrived in California yesterday morning via DHL from London.

What a great transfer of the film! The movie seems to be much clearer than what I remember seeing in the theater. Kept on looking at the detail of the furniture and props that made the atmosphere settings. Also, the fine detail of the costumes. Even the CGI effects are extraordinarily detailed in this transfer.

Edit: Also have to mention that the additional choice of the 5.1 English Dolby True HD - 96Khz-24bit track makes the movie experience striking!
