Just wanted to post saying i've ordered my first HD-DVD's from movietyme and i'm really looking forward to getting 'em!

I ordered:

Corpse Bride
The Thing
Phantom of the Opera (For the missus)

I've got to pick up a HD DVD add-on for the 360 so here's hoping (against hope) that the ones in Game have King Kong bundled.

£42.97 for all three. £12.99 for Phantom and £14.99 for the other two. Not bad all in all. Less than I paid for my first DVD's when they came out!

Departed looks great, but movies like king kong look nicer imo.

Because of the CG or just the type of film do you think?

Ive not watched it yet mate .
Ive already seen the film at the cinema but would like to see it in HD im trying to save it for the weekend . I always like to watch a good one on a Saturday night

Its the only film ive seen that I fancy in HD at the moment , I really dont want to get into that buying films ive already seen just for the sake of it I did all that with DVD , or buying some load of c..p like Fast and furious (my Opinion ) just because its supposed to be great in HD.

LOTR will be a definete apart from that ill just wait Casino Royal , Pans Labyrinth and The Prestige will be my next ones.

I must say though Mickle I like your choices mate , Love The Thing still remember watching that for the first time on our Massive VHS video scared me sh..less as a kid lol and Corpse Bride was great too.

I think you'll be extremely lucky to find one on the high street now that has KK bundled i'm afraid! Unless you go the eBay route but then you'll pay a higher price of course. Why not try Argos, they are only £119 and you might be able to pick up a 2nd hand copy of KK for a tenner!

yeah I thought I may not be able to. A Gamestation near me has ones with KK but I have some money on a Game giftcard so i'll have to get it from there instead Still, i'll be keeping 'em peeled for cheap KK discs on eBay

Hmm I know what you mean about being selective when buying films on HD. I went a bit mad on DVD and don't want to build up a collection of rubbishy DVDs again (The Fast and the Furious i'm looking at you).

Glad you like the choices. I haven't seen The Thing for YEARS and it was one of the first films I ever saw as a child (goold old Dad!) so i'm really looking forward to that one. Corpse Bride was a good film (I loved the Nightmare Before Christmas too) and is supposed to be a bit of a tour de force for HD video so that'll be good as a reference disc and Phantom was something I was going to pick up for the GF on DVD anyway so I thought it'd be a good 'n to pick up.
