Digital Bits states that New Line will be announcing shortly (within a day or so) the HiDef discs they will release

It maybe a pipe dream but I'd sure luv 'The Lord of the Rings Trilogy' in HiDef ...

I hope so to,but i think they might hold off on their golden egg for a while.

Dark City?

Mmm...the opening scene of Blade in hi-def.

Actually, I've already compiled these and all of the other announced titles from various sources, and you're in luck:

The R1 HD-DVD/Blu-Ray List

I've been maintaining this list since last year's CES, to help people avoid double dipping. Needless to say, after months of inactivity I've been updating it a lot in the last 24 hours!

I understand there are a few more announcements on the way, but feel free to steer me to any I might have missed or misclassified. I know Warners is straddling the fence and showing a mild preference for HD-DVD, but I went ahead and classified all of theirs as both - since they will, in theory, eventually offer both. Maybe just not day and date for the early ones.

so... are the titles highlighted in yellow confirmed? I do see that the LotR Trilogy IS mentioned

Excellent List! I'm going to try to throw together a "One & Only" thread tonight sometime, and I'll be sure to have a link to your list.

In most cases, they came straight from a press release. I did dig up a few titles from other sources, including online merchant listings. But I've seen several news reports cite LotR as a lock.

any word what versions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy will the HiDef versions be in - theatrical or extended?

I am pretty sure KONG will get HD DVD treatment.Toshiba is campaining for the movie a lot.Maybe the first Wide release for HD DVD
