These i'm going to get

[NutsAboutPS3]

Do you know if these will be straight ports of the HD DVDs for titles that were previously available on that format?

[gvortex7]

WOW, my goodness. It is going to be an expensive venture importing many of these titles this Fall. And if some of the Studio Canal HD DVD's are any indication, we're in for a treat when it comes to sound/video quality. Damn it is great to see that list.

Actually, the only bit of news I have at this point is that starting this August Studio Canal BRD titles will be priced at 19.99 Euro to match their SDVD releases.

Nice, Total Recall is very nice. Their master is way better than Lionsgates + it was in DTS HD MA. BUt the sound timing was PAL (for X reasons that i don't understand)... (that was on HD DVD btw)

[househead]

I hope they give us The Elephant Man this year too. The HD DVD was a nice upgrade over the dvd.

Studio Canal has the distro rights to all Lynch films, correct?

[Morphine]

Any steelbooks or limited edition in those?

[pro-bassoonist]

Hello,

I have not seen any info pertaining to upcoming steelbooks. More than likely steelbooks will be coming out of Spain as there is a great deal of activity there (especially through Fox and their SDVD steel-exploits). The Fall should be telling.
