taurian Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Hi, Can we start a thread on what are the available HD DVD titles in Singapore? Thanks.
Genesis Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 I think you're too early taurian....can't even buy a local HD-DVD player here yet. You can get some (overpriced) HD DVD's at a few of the HMV's and also the shop at Midpoint Orchard, but until HD DVD is officially launched here, most of us are going thru amazon.

Well, I got myself an Xbox 360 HD DVD player ;)
Genesis Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Well, I got myself an Xbox 360 HD DVD player ;) That's great! Is the HD drive for the 360 selling locally now? I wonder also if the launch of the PS3 here and the ability to play BD will entice stores like Gramophone to start carrying both HD and BD.....at competitive prices ;)

taurian Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 Ok, since nobody else seems to know, I'll start the ball rolling since I have gone down to HMV at Heeren to look see look see. I spotted the following titles (as far as I can remember): - We were soldiers (I bought the one and only copy ;)) - Four Brothers - Casablanca - Deer Hunter - Full Metal Jacket - Enter the Dragon Can't remember the rest 'cos I went on Thursday night :P All in all, very limited selection. Anyone else spotted other titles in other shops?
desray Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 My friend told me that Gramophone @ Takashimaya got sell HD DVD and Bluray titles.
lobster1624705763 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Saw some HD-DVD and blu-ray in Gramophone @ Parkway Parade. Think Batman Begins is there... Cheers,
kzone Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Guys, any update on HD DVDs available locally? Which shop has the largest collection so far?
koma Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 saw a few hd n blu-ray titles at gramaphone parkway while shoppin there ydae bro u can check it out tink i saw king kong, troy,casino royale etc
Audio Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 So far, the shop that have a respectable collection is That's Music at Orchard Emerald....expensive but it feels like I am at Best Buy in the US. I just bought "Curse of the Golden Flowers" at HMV last week....quite surprise to find it. I was very disappoined with the R1 release but was pleasently shocked to see just how great the PQ is on this Blu Ray....amazing! This is NOT like "House of Flying daggers", that looks like SD on Blu-Ray.....the wall patterns, the carpets designs all comes out sharp and defined on this Blu ray disc..... MUST-BUY!! (Audio)
kzone Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Saw abt 20 Blu Ray & 4 HD titles at Raffles place Gramaphone.. abt $60 each... How come there are more BR than HD almost in everyshop here in sg? Is it bcos PS3 came to us earlier than the E1/xbox add-on ?
Jag Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Saw abt 20 Blu Ray & 4 HD titles at Raffles place Gramaphone.. abt $60 each... How come there are more BR than HD almost in everyshop here in sg? Is it bcos PS3 came to us earlier than the E1/xbox add-on ? I guess that there is a ready market for blu-ray disc from the PS3 owners. HD-DVDP were not even available to singapore market until a few days ago.
desray Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 PS3 - much cheaper so more pple buy. HD DVD Player - rare just released - and more expensive than PS3. Like Jag mentioned, if you do the math...retailers will bring in more Bluray titles than HD DVDs to Singapore. Another factor to consider is that HD DVD titles are actually lesser in quantity than BD titles at the moment. But come July onwards...there will be an influx of HD DVD titles...or so I read.
hcng Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Saw HD-DVD Eagles Live in Australia at Gramophone (Parkway Parade).
darkeststar Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 now sembawang music selling HD-DVD & BR disc as well. BTW Gramophone is offering 15% discount for citibank visa.
Calvin83 Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I just got Phantom of the Opera on HD DVD from Gramophone. Anyway, The Departed is banned locally.
desray Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Anyway, The Departed is banned locally. Still can find one lar...
desray Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 now sembawang music selling HD-DVD & BR disc as well. Great news! then it shouldn't be long before Laserflair will join in the Hi Def biz... :P
darkeststar Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Still can find one lar... yes, i think i saw Departed at either sembawang or gramophone. I find it a bit boring leh, couldn't even finish watching the show.
Calvin83 Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 yes, i think i saw Departed at either sembawang or gramophone. I find it a bit boring leh, couldn't even finish watching the show. Wah, really? Thanks. It must be Sembawang then, cos I asked Gramophone and they confirmed that the R1 DVD, HD DVD and BR was banned, and I can only find the R3 version available locally so far.. Will try looking for it at Sembawang, else may have to order online.. ;D
YANG Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 To fellow brudders who frequent MUSTAFA CENTER... Blue Ray and HDDVD available now... Quite ex though...
