I'm thinking of picking up an HDDVD player (if I can get one ultra-cheap) for a handful of titles that haven't made it to Blu-Ray.

Looking at a list of un-transferred titles and I came up with these that I'd like to own in HD

The Game
Out of Sight
Tremors
Forbidden Planet
Feast
Streets of Fire
Slither (I think there's a Canadian blu but does it play on US players?)

Any other titles that MM fans think are worth acquiring a legacy HDDVD player for? Any player suggestions?

Regards,
Will

We're all the same region, so the Canadian disc will play on US players. We're not *that* foreign you know.

Sweet. Is it a decent disk/transfer?

Apparently the Toshiba HD-XA2 (not sure of the UK equiv) was the pinnacle and one of the few to perform decently at 1080p. They seem to go for bet $100-$150 on eBay....I'm too cheap for that but I'm watching the stoop sales+pawn shops. Already picked up 6 or so HD disks for <$3.

I love me some retro/out-of-date tech. At one point (not so long ago), I had a 3/4" deck (picked up at a school auction for a bunch of driver safety videos that came with it), a videodisc CED player (had a fascinating loading mechanism where the delicate disk was slid out of the shell by the player and the shell spit back out), betamax, laserdisc, and an 8-track deck with a wall full of rare tapes (Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground, etc).

Alas now I am married...which is shocking in itself considering the above.

Absolutely track down the Forbidden Planet disc. I picked it up for about a fiver on eBay, complete bargain! Not watched any of the features but the print itself is immaculate, a fantastic transfer of a great film.

That's coming out on Blu-ray this fall, on Sept 7.

Dammit, I read that as Forbidden Zone . . .

Cao Cao led these troops to Huarongdao in retreat. While marching on， Cao Cao， riding horseback， pointed his whip and laughed loudly， saying， “People say Zhuge Liang is wise and full of clever stratagems， but it seems to me he is as incapable as the average general. If he had an army waiting in ambush over there， I would have no way out.” Before he could finish his words， the thunder of cannons was heard and an army headed by Guan Yu stormed out of hiding to block their way.

Zhuge Liang prodded Huang again by saying，Final Fantasy XI GIL “Though you are valiant， I am afraid you are not Zhang He's match because you are too old.” When Huang Zhong heard this， his gray hair angrily stood on end.

Just got this week my HD-DVD version of Excalibur, one of my all time favourite movies. COst £10, when I know I probably could have got a bLu Ray for not much more, but what the hell. I CANNOT wait to watch this in high def. Absolutely the kind of film I got HD for.
