Wait until HD DVD burners come out. There'll be a lot of that going around.

I've got a buddy in Japan right now and am going to ask him to bring me back a couple of HD DVDs. Any recommendations?

Probably the standard:
The Brothers Grimm
Equilibrium
Finding Neverland
The Gift
Goal!
Killing Me Softly
The Machinist
Oldboy (No English Track OR Subs)
Oliver Twist
Out of Time
The Pianist
Reign of Fire
Shinobi: Heart Under Blade(No English)
xXx

Also Band of Brothers is supposed to be coming out at the end of June in Japan as well....This is jsut a quick list of what I could find I am sure there are more...

After a little research....

Brothers Grimm (Miramax title in US so unlikely to ever get a domestic HD DVD release, poor reviews on disc)

Equilibrium (Miramax title in US so unlikely to ever get a domestic HD DVD release)

Finding Neverland (Miramax title in US so unlikely to ever get a domestic HD DVD release)

The Gift (Paramount, so could get a domestic HD DVD release)

Goal! (Buena Vista, no likely domestic HD DVD release)

Killing me Softly (MGM, no likely HD DVD release)

The Machinist (Paramount, likely domestic HD DVD release)

Oldboy (no english subs!)

Oliver Twist (Sony, no likely domestic HD DVD release)

Out of Time (MGM, no likely domestic HD DVD release)

The Pianist (Universal, likely domestic HD DVD release)

Reign of Fire (Buena Vista, no likely domestic HD DVD release)

Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (no english subs)

xXx (Sony, no likely domestic HD DVD release)

My candidates are

Brothers Grimm
Equilibrium
Finding Neverland
Goal!
Killing Me Softly
Oliver Twist
Out of Time
Reign of Fire
xXx

of which I'd only consider

Equilibrium
Finding Neverland
Oliver Twist

from what I can tell the HD-DVD edition of Wings of Honneamise hasn't come out yet, but that a Blu-ray w/standard DVD edition is available - any English subtitles for this??

Looks like that's coming out at the end of July. I can't find any info regarding subs yet. I hope it does (and hope it looks good). If so, I'll definitely pick it up, along with AKIRA and GHOST IN THE SHELL, which are also coming out in Blu-ray/DVD sets.
