Nice list!

I noticed that a lot of Virtual Trip discs are coming out in Japan on BD now but I guess you have cross-checked against those. For example there are 3 different China VT discs available for pre-order and a Hokkaido - Summer disc. Virtual Trip the Movie - Fascinating Nature is also coming out on BD on April 24th.

I never spent much time checking all the Virtual Trip HD DVDs so I can't tell easily which ones remain exclusive.

I haven't crossed checked most of the imports yet. It's based on a list I made last December, so I need to go back and check for anything coming out. Any info you have would be appreciated.

Great list...and way better (more comprehensive) than the sticky maintained in the other part of the forum. Worthy of a stickying of its own.

I can make it sticky if Bruce likes that. I agree it would be good as a sticky.

Bruce, I did not see Lara Croft Tomb Raider "The Cradle of Life"
I was under the impression that it was only available from Concorde out of Germany. They had it available in HDDVD and Blu

Only titles not out on Blu-ray are on the lists, so as others above get released on Blu-ray, they will get removed from the list as well.
