Its funny that Best Buy dropped te price down this week on this film and a couple others from Warner.
I ended up purchasing it for $14.99 - Very well worth it!
Also, has anyone noticed how incredibly difficult getting 'Frighteners' on HD DVD has been to obtain - The only way you can get it is by ordering it.

It's hard to get any "smaller" catalog titles at B&M's, since they're hesitant to use shelf space for them and take away from the newer releases which are more likely to sell. You can easily get the Frighteners and any other catalog title at most online retailers.

Universal will be releasing "Knocked Up" in an HD DVD/DVD combo day and date with the standard release. No solid release date yet, but the HD DVD is going to feature the "U Control" that Universal has used on other releases.
Looks like it's most-likely going to be a Sept. release, BTW.

Home Media Expo Reveals 'Harry Potter,' 'Blade Runner' HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc Pricing
July 17, 2007
The Home Media Expo is cranking along in blistering hot Las Vegas, and we're now starting to see some high-def news trickle out. In particular, a couple of mega-box sets have been confirmed complete with lofty SRPs.
We've known Warner Home Video had plans to release Blade Runner and all five Harry Potter films on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc this fall, but we didn't know what configuration those releases would take. Warner has confirmed all five Harry Potter films will be available in a monster HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc box set for a cool $149.99. And you thought 'The Matrix Collection' was expensive! Our guess is 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' will be available separately, while the other four years will only be available (initially) in the box set.
In addition, the much-anticipated 'Blade Runner' release will span a whopping 5 discs on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Warner did not reveal pricing for those versions, but with the standard DVD 5-disc set clocking in at $78.92, we expect pricing right around the $100 mark.
With Comic-Con just around the corner, be on the lookout for more big holiday high-def release news to pour out over the next week and a half.

Well, Warner has been pretty good lately on including the same HD audio tracks on both formats, and DVDactive has the Blu-Ray covers and it certainly does indicates a TrueHD track for The Reaping BD, so hidefdigest looks to be wrong in this case.
