I read a lot about an HD-DVD release of this film, and the artwork was even posted on www.dvdactive.com, in its preview story, which showed all of the versions, and their art. However, I was unable to find it at Future Shop, and it's not listed on their site, or Best Buy's (Canadian) site.

Is it in existence? I saw it for sale on Amazon.ca, but it says that it'll ship within 1-3 weeks.

Yes, I got it from Best Buy.
It's a 2-disc HD-DVD. The movie and some commentaries on disc 1 and the second is all supplementary which I haven't perused yet. The picture looks fantastic, though dark. I had to set the brightness on my TV up a few notches.

If you have any more questions let me know.

Yeah, mine shipped from amazon, should have it today.

Mine has shipped, plus I saw copies at both Target and Fry's.

Wick, even though it's not on Future Shop's site, they have it in store for $32.99...just saw it today, so check around.

Quick confirmation that WTC was at Target today on HD-DVD for 29.99.

Thanks for the replies.

I checked Future Shop's site earlier today, and it was listed. I find it weird that it just popped up, after not being there at all, but I'm happy to know that it's actually in existence (like originally reported.)

I actually just went up to my local FS, and picked it up for $32.99. Thanks, mdc3000.

Can any say how the special features compare between the HD-DVD, Blu-ray, and Standard Def releases?

The Blu-ray and HD versions have all of the extras on the SD version plus two exclusive featurettes running about 30 minutes total. Plus they are all in 1080i - a very nice touch.

I thought the HD versions got 2 exclusive featurettes.

Oops. You are correct. I was thinking of M:I III. Fixed above.
