First 2-discer HD release:-
http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/ ... enter.html
and it's of hackneyed shit no less. I'd imagine it's only a 2-discer becuz the extras are prolly all in HD, what a waste of time; like putting content on 2 DVD-5's and calling it a 2-disc SE when it could easily fit on a single DVD-9.
Unless otherwise noted, all extras are confirmed to be on the DVD side. Only actual narrative films are on these lists, there've been a number docos released on combos.
List of HD-DVD combos:-
Children of Men - Deleted scenes, featurettes
Brokeback Mountain - Only a single featurette DVD side, rest of extras on HD side.
Good Night, and Good Luck
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - North American release is on HD-15, international releases are on HD-30 but not a combo.
Lady in the Water
Land of the Dead DC
An American Werewolf in London
Fearless: US Cut + Western Cut (Not HK Cut or Director's Cut)
The Breakfast Club
Danny the Dog/Unleashed: US Cut
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Slither
Animal House
16 Blocks
Superman Returns - No extras on DVD Side
Miami Vice - DC on HD Side and TC on DVD Side
The Departed - - - No extras on DVD Side, except Trailer
Army of Darkness - DVD side features reportedly new anamorphic transfer of the TC, which is superior to all past transfers available on R1 releases of the film. There are several DVD releases which are loaded with extras, don't bother with this HD-DVD.
Field of Dreams -HD transfer is reportedly terrible. DVD side is probably a clone of disc one of the R1 AE, so prolly not all the extras are on the DVD side.
Goodfellas - No extras on DVD Side. North American release is on HD-15, international releases are on HD-30 but not a combo.
Hollywoodland - unknown

The following French Studio Canal non-English language HD-DVDs have English subtitles:-
Brotherhood of the Wolf - Christophe Gans. Optimum may release this at some point.
The Army of Shadows - Jean-Pierre Melville's superb thriller chronicling the French resistance during the Nazi occupation. Rights are held by BFI in the UK, so I'm doubtful that this will be released in the UK.
La Haine - released by Optimum in the UK.

A list of HD-DVD titles not available/announced for the US. Well worth a look, some real surprising ones there - eg Spain getting a HD-DVD of Sony's Underworld Evolution.
A similar/alternative list to above.
