Hi jaycee900,
You have a nice blog there! In this thread's "Titles Available for Order" list I include only import-exclusive (not available as U.S. releases) movie titles that are available in any of the covered online shops for pre-order or order. Other than movie titles are included only in case they are especially high profile / high interest titles for importers. Your blog has some non-movie titles I haven't listed but I didn't notice anything that would be missing here that meets this thread's inclusion criteria.

A couple of findings on your blog's titles:
- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is available as HD DVD in the U.S. (you have listed it as Spanish exclusive)
- Rambo III is originally a French Studio Canal release, you have listed it as Australian exclusive

Yes, just started HD DVD Heaven with the news section in place and some pretty pictures. Releases and FAQ sections still in the works. The site's an attempt to correlate relevant info and then put it together and present it in a user friendly way. An attempt along those lines anyway We'll see where it goes with time.
WRT this HighDefDigest thread, you're doing a splendid job! I just do the reading here

That site looks nice, keep up the good work And thanks for the compliment!

Finished watching Heroes Season 1 yesterday, I watched the last 4 episodes in a row. It was pretty good overall and definitely good value for the money since there are 23 x 45 min episodes + the extras Certainly worth getting!

Updates to "Titles Available for Order":

- Added HD Movie Source as a source for "Bridge to Terabithia" (Italian release) and "Perfume: Story of a Murderer" (German release)

Hi, thanks for comments...and yeah i did think some of the other titles were a bit obscure to include here!
Have removed Sky Captain from the Spanish list, though Rambo 3 i kept as Australian because i like to have a 'english' version first and foremost, i know they aren't exclusives as such, maybe i need to change the wording somehow!

Some interesting new import-exclusive titles are being released in Holland if these entries in www.dvd.outlet (Dutch online store) are reliable:

http://www.dvdoutlet.nl/cgi-bin/web_store/web_store.cgi

- Amazing Planet (13-Nov)
- Flyboys (13-Nov)
- Lord of War (13-Nov)
- Reservoir Dogs (13-Nov)
- Saw 3 (13-Nov)

As this shop apparently doesn't ship internationally (if I've understood correctly), I'm not including these in the "Titles Available for Order" section currently. Hopefully they will become available in some shop that does ship internationally as well (assuming the release info is accurate).

Original info on these was found from AVS forum's import thread.

Reservoir Dogs (13-Nov) in HD oh yes! I don't know who would have the rights in Holland, but in the UK it would be another Momentum release.

Also noticed that site is selling the Matrix films seperately...

Yes, I'd buy Reservoir Dogs and Lord of War as well

Matrix HD DVD was released as a stand-alone in late August in Scandinavian / Nordic countries. It can be ordered from e.g. Megastore (Swedish online shop): http://english.megastore.se/template...itemid=1802498

Matrix Reloaded will be released in Sweden on 26-Sep:
http://english.megastore.se/template...itemid=1802497

And Matrix Revolutions on 31-Oct:
http://english.megastore.se/template...itemid=1802501

Amazon France has all 3 individually with an October 17th as release date:
http://www.amazon.fr/Matrix-HD-DVD-K...688947&sr=1-41
http://www.amazon.fr/Matrix-Rreloade...89011&sr=1-100
http://www.amazon.fr/Matrix-Revoluti...89011&sr=1-106

I ordered some new Kent CDs (new single + upcoming new album) from megastore.se this weekend. They have English interface and everything was smooth. There was no VAT reduction though and they charge 10 EUR for shipping (to Japan) and if you order multiple items that can not be shipped at the same time, they charge 10 EUR for each part of the shipment separately. It seems if you combine an already available title with a pre-order, they will always ship them separately at separate shipping costs.

Not sure how much interest there is in individual Matrix releases via importing as the Complete Trilogy has not been that expensive in the U.S. I guess some do only want the first one. Not sure if I should include them as individual titles in the "Titles Available for Order" listing...

Thanks again Sporadic!

Added to "Titles Available for Order":
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live at Monterey (1967) (UK release) (29-Oct)

I reckon this is a high interest import title so it qualifies though not a movie.

I removed "Hannibal (French release)" from "Titles Available for Order" because there's no knowledge about when it might become available. Amazon France cancelled my order that included only that title because apparently it's not becoming available for now and they don't accept new orders for it anymore either. If/when the situation changes, I will put it back in.

Added these 2 BBC TV drama titles to "Titles Available for Order":

Bleak House (UK release) (5-Nov)
Amazon UK $51.51 (£25.52)
Note: BBC mini-series

Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky (UK release) (5-Nov)
Amazon UK $25.75 (£12.76)
Note: BBC mini-series

Pan's Labyrinth HD DVD (and Blu-ray) titles in Amazon UK have now 19-Nov shown as release date:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pans-Labyrin...0802731&sr=8-4

It used to be 12-Nov. Possible delay of one week?

My order still shows estimated ship date as 12-Nov and Sendit.com also still shows 12-Nov as release date. I will not change the release date in "Titles Available for Order" section for now pending further confirmation.
