HD in the UK
 

So to all in the UK, when are you planning on investing in HD-DVD Blu-Ray, or both?

What players are you looking into, and have you found any decent prices?

I'll probably collect both formats, use a PS3 as my Blu-Ray player, and when prices fall look into a HD-DVD Player that also upscales SD-DVD.

Amazon/Play are both selling HD-DVDs and Blu-Ray discs even tho the lack of players over here.

This

Is the only HD-DVD player I can find at the moment.

I've just been sent my xbox 360 HD-DVD player, should get it in a couple of days. I have MI:3 ready to go aswell as the King Kong you get with it. I really don't want to go for Blu-ray (at least until it gets alot better, and cheaper!).
The higher spec Toshiba is not out yet and when I learnt about the low number of the 360 HD-DVDs brought into the country (7000?) really made me look for the Toshiba model.
The Samsung Blu-Ray player over is about £1000, my TV cost £2000 so i'm not going to spend that amount.
Don't really want a PS3, but if it is a cheaper option, my hand might be forced.

Do you have Sky-HD?
I'm with NTL and would like a HD service

I have the Sky+HD. Very nice. The 2 movie channels are pretty good and I really like sky one HD. Las Vegas looks really good while Lost looks amazing! I'm really looking forword to the new year with 24 and Battlestar.

I'm not in the UK, but I plan to buy some HD DVDs from Amazon.co.uk.

Does that sort of count? :D

A few questions. I've never imported a disc from the UK or anyplace else. Are there any differences between UK and US discs in terms of playback, etc? How much do they cost in US dollars?

Check some of the sites and do the conversion.

I only have one import (Finding Neverland) and there's no difference in terms of playback. The menu is very "DVD-like" and all in Japanese.

I just ordered one and haven't received it yet, so I can't answer your first questions. But it was about 15 pounds or 30 dollars.

I imported the Blu-ray of The Exorcism of Emily Rose from amazon UK. Cost me $35 shipped. No playback issues.

Thats weird as they said Blu-ray was region locked on their discs.

Not sure if it's enabled for Region A players. It certainly works fine on my Samsung (I'll have to try it on my Panny, now that you mention it). You might not be able to play our discs on Region B players though.
