Watching Sunshine tonight and it made wonder when they will be releasing MOAG on HD and whether it will be out on HD DVD. I reckon it will look spectacular in HD.

Its currently out in Italy on Blu-Ray. Sony own the rights in the US. Not sure about the rest of the world (for a HD-DVD release) and there are no announced dates for any other regions release just yet.

It's a Sony release, so a HD DVD release is unlikely unless there is a country where a different country holds the rights.
I think it may have had a European release on Blu-ray.

Pesky Sony and their loyalty to their own brand of HD.

Well, this is out now and I have my copy from MT but it won't play. So far I don't know if it's just powerdvd and VLC or if I have a duff disc. Anyone else with any problems playing this?

Cyberlink are looking into a fix for this not playing off disc with PowerDVD. It does play off hard drive though if you use AnyDVD-HD.
