The List of HD DVD titles

[jgags6]

I wonder why they havnt even announced the release of Lord of the Rings trilogy, or the Harry Potter movies, or the Matrix Trilogy. These movies would help getting alot of people on the HD Dvd side.

 

[Ilya]

These titles are not from Universal (Warner and New Line, I believe), so they will not be HD DVD exclusive. But I surely wish to see them released soon. Hopefully later this year.

Latest additions to the list:

Universal

The Good Shepherd - 03/06/2007
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 04/24/2007
The Nutty Professor - 04/24/2007​

Warner

March of the Penguins - 03/27/2007​

Also, according to the list at the HD DVD Promotions Group website, the following Spielberg hits might be coming to HD DVD soon:

Jaws (Universal)
Jurassic Park (Universal)
E.T. (Universal)​

 

[jgantert]

More Weinstein/Genius titles to add to your list:

School for Scoundrels 3/27
Feast 3/27
Harsh Times 3/27

Good to see some more non-mainstream movies making it out there. Something only HD DVD can say.

Also, according to the list at the HD DVD Promotions Group website, the following Spielberg hits might be coming to HD DVD soon:

Jaws (Universal)
Jurassic Park (Universal)
E.T. (Universal)​

No, they aren't coming. Somebody put out bad information.

Apology for our Contents List

Curious

Just wondering....I can understand that they would want to go back and release some of the old titles in the new format....but what about the new releases? I don't see any newer movies....example; like when they released MI 3 or Superman Returns...are they just not on the list? Forgive me if I missed something as I have not read the posts in a while and didn't go through every post.

Thanks!

 

[jgags6]

Thats what im wondering, i and not going to spend money to buy a movie that i already own, and i could give a crap about movies like superman, it just makes no sence why they wouldnt be releasing more new realeases.

 

[jgantert]

I think everyone on this website has abandoned HD DVD. One of the biggest recent release announcements, and no word of it here. Yikes. Well, here goes... all Universal titles:

Universal Announces Baker's Dozen HD DVD Catalog Titles For June
March 16, 2007

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced two waves of June HD DVD catalog titles totaling a whopping 13 in all.

On June 12, the studio will release 'Born on the Fourth of July,' 'Bruce Almighty,' 'Daylight,' 'Liar Liar,' 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life' and 'Sneakers.' All will be presented in 1080p video and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio, and we suspect include the same extra features as found on the standard DVD release, though that assumption is not yet confirmed.

Two weeks later on June 26, Universal will roll out 'American Me,' 'Being John Malkovich,' 'Bulletproof,' 'Mallrats,' 'Meet Joe Black,' 'Mystery Men' and 'The Watcher.' As with the June 12 titles, each will be presented in 1080p video and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.

All of the thirteen announced titles will be on dedicated HD DVD discs as opposed to the more expensive Combo Format discs, and as such will carry an SRP of $29.98. We'll update each disc listing with extra features and high resolution cover art as they are made available.

 

[jgags6]

There are some good titles, but once again i dont want to buy movies that i already own... hopefully they will release some new flicks too.

Nope, some of us are still around, wasting too much time in the "War Zone" laughing at BDA's claim HD DVD is almost gone & that Blu-ray will make DVD's disappear within 3 years.

Just saw Universal's release announcement just yesterday. Some good titles; I definitely plan to buy several & Netflix several others. :up

Naw, they're just being hunted down and having the kool-aid forced upon them.

Pretty good titles. Competition!

Nope, some of us are still around, wasting too much time in the "War Zone" laughing at BDA's claim HD DVD is almost gone & that Blu-ray will make DVD's disappear within 3 years.

And yet you LAUGH!

Actually, the claim was that they will SURPASS DVD in 3 years. After all, remember how SACD took over.... er, how the mini-disc.... er, how memory sticks ah, um- Maybe they're using the same calendar Dish does for 5xx NBR?

BTW, what is your favorite flavor in a sweet drink? :lick :dev

Small point my friend, but, no, the BDA spokesman actually claimed Blu-ray would replace DVD's in 3 years, which was why I found it so laughable.

The Blu-ray disc association said on Thursday it aimed to replace the DVD storage format within three years.

"Within three years it will just be Blu-ray," Frank Simonis, the Blu-ray Disc Association's European chairman, said at the CeBIT technology trade show.

No likey Kool-Aid. I've decided to cut back on the caffeine and my posts in the "War Zone" and just sit back & enjoy my HD DVD's. I've already picked a couple from Universal's June releases I plan to pick up. And, when it's already 90 degrees in mid-March in Arizona, stock up on the (caffeine free) Ice Tea. :devil: :yikes

 

[styxfix]

I found out that these two titles are comming out soon as import (French) only HD-DVD.

Elephant Man [HD DVD] March 27, 2007
Terminator 2: Judgment Day [HD DVD] April 3, 2007

 

[CochiseGuy]

As I posted over in the "War Zone", here's a list of upcoming HD DVD releases from March 27 through the end of June. 59 titles in all. :up
Titles exclusive to HD DVD in red:
(NOTE: Before someone points this out, I have indicated the May 22 release of The Matrix Trilogy as HD DVD only. No BD release is announced as of yet, but Warner is format neutral, so a BD version will probably be released at some time.)
