HD DVD/DVD Combo Disc Question

Are any other the combo movies available in an HD DVD only version?

I think what you're asking is are there any HD DVD movies that are available on an HD DVD/DVD combo disc that are also available on just on HD DVD disc?

If that's the question then there are a few of them that come to mind.

300
The Fountain
Happy Feet
The Departed

and there are others.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Thanks for the info Falcon! I actually wasn't expecting any of those movies to be available in a non-combo form, I almost didn't even bother asking. This is pretty good news because I really have no desire to buy any combo discs, but I do want most of the movies that were released as combos.

Here's some more (I think there's a couple of others so far not mentioned). I bought the Rumor Has It.. and the Lady in the Water non-combo edition and they had the combo disc inside the non-combo case! I didn't mind though, since I like combos, but if it happens to you, then just exchange it until it's right (if they have one).


The Ant Bully (Warner)
* Good Night, and Good Luck (Re-Issue) (Warner)
* Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Re-Issue) (Warner)
* Lady in the Water (Re-Issue) (Warner)
* The Lake House (Re-Issue) (Warner)
* Letters from Iwo Jima (Re-Issue) (Warner)
* Rumor Has It... (Re-Issue) (Warner)
* Superman Returns (Re-Issue) (Warner)

You can also get some from other regions (which will still play in a region 1 player, since they aren't region coded) that are HD DVD only, while the North American release is a combo. Bourne Ultimatum, Children of Men and Fearless come to mind.

Just make sure you check specs on Imports. Bourne Ultmatum for instance is non-combo but lacks the True HD track of the north american combo release.

now i'm confused. "is their an actual difference between the two?" (picture/sound/features)

It depends. Most features are the same, but some imports have different specs. Some have better specs, some have less. You just need to do your research.

The domestic rereleases of combos are identical in specs, but the imports can look/sound better or worse depending on the specs and the quality of the encode.

And I thought they all came from mexico.

Interesting indeed.
