Meet Joe black, Last starfighter and Scent of Woman great news

[Brad1963]

Maybe this will put everybody at ease. This list brings the Universal total to about 60 titles through September. They promised 100 by years end so another 40 will round out Oct - Dec. I'm gonna go broke at this rate.

Oh, For the love of all that is holy... If only one title on that list ever makes it to release, please... PLEASE let it be BSG: Season 1. I would love to watch that in HD, if I could see the screen through my tears of joy.

Emotional plees aside, the list looks pretty good!

good to see that universal finally got their shit together, sadly there is only a very few of these titles I would buy. I wanna throw my money at Universal, but most of these movies dont suit my taste

I'm already there. It's only the beginning of March, but I've bought 31 movies on either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, a new Onkyo receiver, a power conditioner, countless wires, upgraded to HD DVR for my satellite, a new audio tower rack, a cantellaver mount for my tv, and I still have yet to purchase speakers.

I'm already broke.

right on ... Heroes, season 1. i thought that last mondays show, was pretty action packed finaly. and they're starting to get the mystery going good.

[MfumeRising]

Please, let it be so.

Remember, it is The Digital Bits Rumor Mill. Many of these titles were already listed in the "Rumored" portion of the upcoming HD DVD list on this website. What was the source for those titles, and would you say Bill Hunt is the strongest source yet?

Hey here's an idea--throw us a couple of those titles in March, so we can satisfy all these rabid HD DVD owners! Seriously, how hard could that be? Stateside, I feel like the generals of the HD DVD Army are asleep while USA burns. Ok--that is a little overdramatic. Now is the time to strike!!

MfumeRising's picks:
The Frighteners
The Big Lebowski
Lost in Translation
Mallrats
Being John Malkovich
Hot Fuzz (yay!)
Shaun of the Dead
Heroes: Season One
Battlestar Galactica: Season One

Not bad. Universal, leak another 40 titles please, with March dates preferable.

Does it? Many of these titles already were already announced (and rumored)--so no hard task copying over to a fake list. Thoughts?

Agreed. On monday's show, for the first time I actually felt something other than contempt for HRG.
