Amazon soon sold out on Thursday, lol.
Amazon, Game, HMV, etc etc have no stock & aren't taking any orders at all.
Gamestation, like everyone else, has no stock. But... they are at least taking orders. I've ordered one from there, in the hope that I get one when they get some stock in "could be more than 14 days".
Also...
PCWorld's website has them
listed as having an in-stock estimate of 30/12/06 -
today.
Before it hit the 30th, they were unavailable using either the "Delivery" basket or the "Collect@Store" basket. They're still (for me) unavailable using the Collect@Store basket, but, they *are* (or at least were half an hour ago) available for Delivery - I've placed an order, & am waiting for confirmation.
I'm also gonna pop into my local (5 min walk) PCWorld Sat morning, in the hope they actually do have some stock in store.
Interesting thing I read the other day:
HD-DVDs do not, as yet, have any region coding at all!
So you can quite easily order nice cheap American HD-DVDs & play them on your UK HD-DVD player
I've used the Canada-based
www.dvdboxoffice.com loads in the past for Region 1 DVDs - they also sell HD-DVDs & their prices seem OK.
I've also had
www.movietyme.com recommended to me by people on another forum - good prices, & free delivery, for US DVDs & HD-DVDs etc.
[And they even have the 360's HD-DVD drive in stock, although it's the US version].
First discs I want to get when I eventually get hold of a drive...
Batman Begins
Superman 1, 2 & Returns
The Departed
T3
maybe MI3.
I don't really care whether the HD-DVD drive still comes with a free copy of King Kong when it gets back in stock, as although it'd probably look stunning, I really don't want to waste another 2 hours + of my life watching it.
Wish list:
The Matrix
The Terminator
Terminator 2 - extended edition
LOTR Trilogy
Indy Trilogy
SW I to VI
