£25 per disc?!
Where do you buy them? HMV?!
Go online!
www.movietyme.com
All HD DVDs are region free.
Some BDs are region free.
Virtually all of my HD DVDs are imports.
I also have a few BD imports (the Blade Runner Ultimate Ltd. Edition Briefcase thing, The Terminator, Total Recall).

I thought it could.
Also, isn't (well, "wasn't") support for Dolby Digital Plus & Dolby TrueHD mandatory for HD DVD players, yet only optional for BD players?
I think for the consumer the main advantage HD DVD had was that it was region free.
Hmm. And also a finalised standard. Still, at least my PS3 can handle Profile updates, unlike current standalones.
