The Prestige
This comes out in the UK next Monday on both HD DVD and Blu Ray.
Does anyone have any details on the audio codec used and the extras on the disc.
If the audio is not True HD and the extras are scant, i think i'll just go for the US BD which have a uncompressed LCM audio track

Re: The Prestige
I think the US BD is region locked.

Re: The Prestige
True HD is a possibility because it's released by Warners.
Actually, so is PCM.

Re: The Prestige
My Play.com pre-order of the HD DVD hasn't processed yet. The listing just says "awaiting delivery of stock" so when it will arrive is anyone's guess.

Re: The Prestige
Aw, I was waiting to get this on HD-DVD, too - not having a Blu-Ray player, I was chuffed to hear that it would be released on HD-DVD in Europe.
That said, I didn't preorder it because Play have never had any artwork up for the disc (which surely they should have by now?), and Movietyme have never listed it for sale on HD-DVD.
I suppose the question I have now is, has someone at the BDA or the relevant studio managed to put the brakes on The Prestige being released on HD-DVD? I really hope not!

Re: The Prestige
Amazon.co.uk claim to have this in stock so I've just ordered it and cancelled my Play.com order. I'll soon find out if it's for real...

Re: The Prestige
No its out saw it over here in Dublin in Gamestop no additional extras over the dvd version 30 Euros was going to buy it but when I checked the disk they had in a slipcover there was a scratch on it so decided against it.

Ditto!
Play.com also didn't have stock of Brotherhood of the Wolf (released last week), which I have pre-ordered from them.

Re: The Prestige
In the absence of a True HD track or any significant extra's I will pick this up on Blu Ray.
I was suprised my local HMV had this when Play do not seem to as yet.
