Independence Day ...now there's a title that hasn't had enough releases on DVD. Although I must admit that Star Wars and Alien could convince me to add a Blu-ray player when they are under $200. I enjoy reading The Digital Bits and I respect Bill Hunt's point-of-view but c'mon Bill, HD DVD...

Johannes... terrific news. What style case are they using in Germany? Are the covers the same as pictured on Amazon? Are you aware of other releases scheduled in Germany? If so, can you list them in the import thread I started so that there is a single place to exchange information on these...

Michael, I checked and Equinoxe Films distributed the film in Canada on DVD. If Stephen is correct that Warner distributes for Equinoxe, then it should be on HD DVD to import . No?

Oh, then that is actually terrific news for those of us that thought it was brilliant filmmaking. I actually forgot that it was not a Fox production. So chances are it will be available as an import.

To get back on track here is some new release news courtesy of DVDTimes and Optimum in the U.K: Optimum Home Entertainment have announced their first two UK HD DVD releases. Set to arrive on 11th December 2006 priced at £19.99 each are Mathieu Kassovitz’s La Haine and Roman Polanski's The...

Enrico, I believe Passion of the Christ is a 20th Century Fox title which means Blu-ray, however, be patient. If you scour the various websites and read industry articles and trends I think you can be safe in assuming that Fox titles will be coming to the HD DVD format eventually. In the...

It's really not going to be an issue because it would be suicide for either format. Any move that would hurt either format's acceptance would be foolish. I am also quite confident at this point that we will hear of defections from the Blu-ray camp early next year. I wouldn't be surprised if...

The chickens come home to roost.

Do you need a region free player to play a region free disc? I owned a number of region free discs that played fine on my Pioneer DVD Player. I believe it will only be an issue when the discs themselves are regionally coded. Am I correct? Otherwise it would render all the current HD DVD and...

For those who may not be aware of these other titles available as imports I carried these over from another thread:

The "Wizard of OZ" was listed in an earlier announced list of HD DVD titles. I think it is fair to say we will see it in '07.

Well Robert, I totally agree with him in this instance but lets be honest, he isn't really dealing with numbers here is he? - Dick Parsons, the CEO of Time Warner Inc.

Well, this is terrific news indeed! Someone over at AVS was kind enough to supply this info. There are additional Blu-ray exclusive titles coming to European markets that we can import. Please use this thread to inform other HD DVD owners of Blu-ray exclusives now available on our favorite...

Thank you I couldn't have said it any better. We have heard this before. I want hard numbers and not conjecture.

Originally I started the thread to show off the Studio Canal cover art, however I threw in the Weinstein covers since they had just been released. I was fully aware that they are available in the U.S. I wanted to change the title of the thread so that it could serve as a place to exchange...
