cheers aygie! what are the hd-dvd numbers out of intrest?

[NutsAboutPS3]

Thanks for these. I've got a nasty feeling that Next isn't going to turn up. It was showing in my lovefilm rental queue for release on the 24th but recently the date changed to "To be confirmed".

There are others, such as Gattaca, that I suspect also aren't going to turn up. Gattaca isn't listed on lovefilm or sendit.com.

Cars is looking like a bit of a flop from those figures, fewer pre-orders than an old catalogue title like Bram Stoker's Dracula.

HD-DVD figures would definitely be interesting, perhaps a top 10? I've turned your figures into a Blu-ray top 10 here:

Hey Nutz thanks for that, normally the pre-orders jump up a week or so before the release date so hopefully that will happen with cars.

[w_tanoto]

poor HD DVD...... I see a lot with one digit only, while most BD are two or three digits.

I did a quick search on amazon.co.uk and they only have "The order of the Phoenix" available for pre-order. Where are the others? Does someone have a link?

[scott87]

amazon seem to be really slow at putting up pre-orders! i ten to buy of play.com as prices are cheaper and free p&p

[have@you]

I pre-ordered The Seventh Seal from amazon.co.uk for £11.99 but the price has gone up to £22.49 now, so I hope they'll honour my order, otherwise that will be one less for its already poor showing.

[septic death]

Are you saying that Transformers are going to be on Blu Ray in Europe? If so will it play on my PS3 in the USA?

[have@you]

It's the original animated film.

Yep, some really low numbers, quite annoying because there's a lot on there that i want. Shame their not on Blu. Hey, Tanoto you should definitely pick up Pans Labyrinth, awesome film.

[aygie]

Yeah its the original cartoon, unless your looking at the HD-DVD list.

I'm considering pan's labyrinth. Well for me, most of wanted movies are in blu. I got none in HD DVD (except the one also released in BD - such as happy feet), not even transformer

[scott87]

just checked play.com!checked there coming soon part!we now have 80 odd titles with a massive boost of fox titles lol cant wait but i find this weird they have all the die hard except 3 listed

[Merlins]

I have ordered these movies from UK and will keep you updated about the region coding on them:

Temporarily out of Stock:
Brokeback Mountain (Reported to be Region B, will check this)
The Crow (No definitive report on region coding)

Sept. 24:
U-571
Days of Glory

Oct. 1:
Transformers – The Movie

Oct. 29:
Sunshine

Nov. 12:
Pan's Labyrinth

Dec. 3:
Sjunde inseglet (aka The Seventh Seal) (In memory of Ingemar Bergman who recently past away 89 years old)

Here is Play.com:s Coming soon-list. Tell me if there are some titles you want to know the region coding on and I might pre-order them and check as soon as I can. I will only buy movies I like so I can't promise anything.

[scott87]

i think sunshine will be region b going on foxs recent acts where they usually region code everything

[Merlins]

Not in Region B... The latest releases from them in Region B have in fact been region free. Examples are Alien vs Predator, Night at the Museum, Men of Honour, Phone Booth, The Sentinel and Eragon.

My hope is that they have adopted the same policy as Sony and only region-code day-and-dates in USA, the rest will be region-free.
