I'm getting Nip/Tuck for sure, even though it's not as good as it once was, season 4 was better than season 3. I too am really hoping for a Supernatural HD release...

Hopefully, Lost and 24 releases will start at Season 1. I'm not crazy about the trend of releasing the latest seasons only (like Sopranos, Smallville, and now Nip/Tuck).

I know why people would prefer them to start at 1, but honestly, i'm probably not going to rebuy a lot of these TV sets...so I'm more than happy with them releasing the current season...I'm all for releasing back catalogue tv season, just make sure they keep the current releases coming!

I noted this on AVS too... but if Grubert is seeing this, it looks like all of the Universal HD DVDs for 5/29 didn't make your list. Dragonheart, Lost in Translation, The River, Midnight Run, and The Frighteners.

Ill get Hot Fuzz, Meet the Fockers and Dawn of the Dead for sure.
Possibly Heroes and BSG (Ive never seen the latter).
Also, Knocked Up trailer looks good, so well see how it actually is.

I love the variety that Universal is putting out there -- recent stuff, catalog stuff, sci-fi, chick flicks, horror drama, TV shows... something for everyone.

Five posts since Skoobooz post with Digital Bits insider info and no Bill Hunt digs??? That has got to be a record!
Back on topic, some interesting choices for release. I would pick up BSG, Dawn of the Dead, For Love of the Game, Last Starfighter and probably Knocked Up. I have not even heard of a couple of those...
