Hard to get Russian HD DVD's

It was selling in the $50s on eBay and Amazon sellers asking $100+. A week later Inetvideo gets their hands on a bunch of copies, and it can be had for $9.99.

As for Bonnie and Clyde, Sublime, PS I Love You etc. these were pressed before and slightly after Toshiba threw in the towel. At that point retail stores were no longer accepting stock of them (except Frys) and were boxed up and returned to the studios for auction. In those cases the boxes (unmarked) were sold in auctions to places like iNetVideo etc. Bonnie and Clyde had a small pressing - maybe 2-4k. Only 1k or so were sold before they were pulled and sent back to Warner. Now InetVideo has some. I have no doubt that we will see the rest eventually resurface. Infact, we may have a previously announced and canceled Warner HD DVD release pop up too (still not 100% sure if it was pressed).

The question is: Is it worth the money? I don´t think that the transfer to HD is mindbreaking for this obscurity. But it is a nice addition for the collection, Mljoner.

The price is not so important because I am a collector. I will not open it but will see the Blu ray edition.
Have a good day. M

I doubt these are HD DVDs. They really look like fakes (in the best case they are DVDs with HD DVD structure). These movies were never released in Russia (and Ukraine), and were never announced to come to HD DVD, except maybe Harry Potter, which was announced to be in some distant plans, but Toshiba announced defeat well before these were to appear. The studio that own the rights to e.g. Kill Bill never ever announced that they consider producing HD DVDs.

The seller must be smoking some good stuff to think somebody is going to pay that much for them?? lol I mean come on, 4 of those titles don't even have English audio??? And War and Mr Brooks are both on ?? I mean I love , but I would'nt pay more then $50.00 for War or Mr Brooks. The only unique title is Vedma, which is something I wouldn't mind buying for at least $100.00.

$2,000.00??? haha makes me laugh at how some people think.
