This is your chance to see IMO one of the best movies of 2006. Available on DVD and HD-DVD March 27th.

Love the movie.

Although I will not be buying it because I don't buy combo discs. In any form.

Preordered HD DVD :)

I like combos a lot, I feel they enhance the functionality of the disc (it can play anywhere)...

It's been a while since I bought a HD-DVD but I am definitely picking this up tomorrow.

If I wanted the SD version of a film I would buy the DVD.

I don't want to have two seperate cases and have to double stock every movie I own, the combo disc gives me the flexibility to play it anywhere and at anyone's apartment/house while at the same time giving me the highdef version. That is why I like it so much.

Yeah and I don't want a useless extra version of a film when I go to buy an HD movie.

I couldnt believe that hole sequence getting into the building near the end was one continuous shot, i had to watch it a couple times to believe it.
Great movie.

I would like combos a lot more if they were only, say, $0-5 more expensive than the non-combo HD DVDs, instead of $13-15 more (at Best Buy at least).

Don't buy anything at Bestbuy, except maybe an energy drink

I do love that Reward Zone, though. And sometimes, when stuff is on sale it's a good deal...especially because I can have it NOW.

But otherwise, Amazon ftw! Prime rocks my world.

I actually got my A2 at BB since they were the 1st place I found it locally in stock.

Same here.

And now that the XA2 is down to like $560 on Amazon, I'm saddened.

Don't remind me, superklye...I'm sitting here trying to come up with a reason to skip a bill so I can get that.

I'll sell you my A2 for $350 shipped so I can get an XA2... :D

Has anyone been noticing video lock-ups in the special features? I'm using my 360 as the player and sometimes the special features work, sometimes it just stops playing. I can still access the dashboard though.

It looks like it works fine for some on the 360 and not for others (from what I've been reading anyway). I haven't bought it yet so I don't know firsthand.
