Movietyme do very decent prices and offer a wider range of HD DVD titles. The majority are US versions but they do have German, French, Japanese (where stated) etc HD DVD's as those particular titles are exclusive to BluRay in America.
I've brought mine from them and also found that you get £1 off e-voucher (subscribe to their mailshot though) after a purchase to use on anything, valid for a month. My last one I got from ordering Transformers which I used on InsideMan.

I'd use the classifieds on these very forums. Some great bargains to be had- many disks are watched once then sold on. I've had excellent experiences on here.

Plus they are cheaper than Play.com and PlayUsa. Also PlayUsa's HDDVD's may be Canadian sleeves like their standard def titles where-as Movietyme are strictly North American. Not necessary a bad thing though.

Don't forget HD DVD isn't region coded.

Re: Ive got an EP30, now i need some disks

I always use dvdpacific.com
They seem to be the cheapest, especially with the dollar dropping.
They are also very sound there. They will make sure you get the movies without having to pay customs.

If your looking for some movies ideas look at

king kong
The matrix trilogy
Batman begins
U571 (a must if you have a good surround sound set up)
