No Where Yet  !! Only the Windows Media High Defs are avalable on cetain import DVDs.
I may be wrong but I dont think so!

That's it. Thanks for the head up. I ordered it off of amazon.com this morning. The region 1 has HD but the region 2 one doesn't. 
I ordered that and Coral Reef Adventure.

Are there any places in the UK that sell WMV HD's?
Is there a list of available movies in WMV HD? |

The US edition needs an Internet connection to authenticate the license and check that you are connecting via an American internet connection. Unfortunately they seem to know about all the popular US proxy servers, I gave up in the end and bought the D-VHS version - which looks fab!
There is a German site doing english language WMVs (have a search through this forum) though I suspect they may be unnoficial. |

That's the german one but I'm surprised no one in the UK is doing them yet.

I've had my 'HD Ready' plasma about two weeks now and have already accumalated 8 WMV HD DVDs all from the following places...
PLAY USA
CD-WOW
DVD Concept (UK Based)
But the films like Tomb Raider, Gangs of NY and Italian Job (got this one the other day...STUNNING PQ) you can get from HD-TEC (German based)
You can also download some good HD clips from HD-CLIPS.NET
Of course you'll need a PC, Media Centre or Media player to play them.
I can highly recommend pretty much all the 'IMAX' range. EXCELLENT PQ.
They're not 'PAL' as HD-DVDs are neither PAL nor NTSC.
M$ don't have a UK distributor for these disks, only USA and Germany that I know of for some strange reason. I'm surprised nobody in the UK has jumped on this one.
