Reservoir Dogs on HD-DVD with awesome extras now available!
Much stronger extras package than the Blu-ray version (which I already own), plus DTS-HD MA and VC-1 encode. Available now at xploited cinema for $26.
Ordered mine already and will post quick impressions when I receive it.
They also got in Lord of War, Saw III and Flyboys, although none of those really do it for me.

It's possible for the reverse to be true, too -- that a movie from an HD DVD exclusive studio in the U.S. could wind up on Blu-ray in Europe or Australia.

Whoever gets this, please post your thoughts on the transfer. I thought the Blu-ray version looked ok, but nothing too impressive. And there was no lossless audio either.

The image quality is superb, this is simply the best this film has ever looked, previous releases have had strengths and weaknesses, image is sharp but the contrast is wacky, contrast is pot on but the image is soft, etc. but this edition is the best of all possible worlds. The audio is available in DD. 5.1 and DTS-HD both are great solid mixes, I think I prefer the DTS track though the difference is negligible. The extras seem to be a compilation of all of the available extras from past releases, and the commentary tracks are interesting if not entirely necessary. Included are the cast and crew snippet commentary from the old tenth anniversary release, as well as three commentaries from noted film scholars. All in all a great import that should sufficiently replace all of the previous SD releases, and at less than $30.00 it's a decent price for an HD-DVD import
