What was your first movie owned ONLY on HD-DVD?

1st HD dvd I bought was Swordfish!

The first movie I got on HD DVD that I never owned on any previous format was The Last Samurai. I imagine this is the same for many of the early adopters.

First one I bought that I didn't have on SD was Serenity. This comes from having bought WAY to many SD discs over teh years.

Serenity on launch day

I bought a few HD-DVD that I haven't owned on SD.
The last samurai, Perfect Strom, Serenity, apollo 13 were all movies I have in HD that I never picked up in SD.
Toyko Drift F&F 3, and MI 3 will be the 1st movies I will be buying for HD-DVD that I haven't seen in the theater or on SD-DVD.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is the only one so far. If freaking BestPrices ever gets around to shipping the pre-ordered box set, my second HD-DVD-only title will be Mission: Impossible III.

Serenity
a week before my HD-XA1 arrived in early May. I already had TLS and POTO on SD DVD. Did also double dip and get a HD DVD POTO though.

Batman Begins.

Missed it in theaters, then saw it on HBO-HD, then bought the HDDVD as my #4.

Serenity, though I bought Riddick first, but I had that on DVD.

Phantom of the Opera and Serenity.

My first which I never owned in SD was Cinderella Man, I purchased it at Best Buy the day it came out.

Word!! Though to be honest I actually purchased BOTH Swordfish and Blazing Saddles as my first 2 HD DVDs. However, most HD DVDs I've been purchasing I don't own on DVD. So far, the only HD DVDs I purchased that I did own on DVD were: Willy Wonka and Sleepy Hollow.

I have the 360 HD DVD player on preorder so i guess my first is King Kong, But so far i have bought Happy Gilmore and plan to buy MI3 and whatever else i find cheap on ebay.

btw is there any places online to buy them cheap? besides ebay.

Evilfud

For me:

Aeon Flux, then Serenity, Space Cowboys, T3, Batman begins.

I stopped buying DVDs over a year ago, so the only movie I own twice is U571.

Adam

Jarhead was the first movie owned ONLY on HD DVD.

I picked it up along with Training when I picked up my Toshiba HD-A1

I bought 10 titles outright but I viewed 16 blocks first!

Serenity
The Thing
Troy

Had seen them all but never had the DVD

ive never owned a dvd but first title ive bought on hd-dvd was atl i can probably renember wich movies i bought and where i bought them and in what order and what i paid for each

The first three HD DVDs I bought are the also first three I don't have on DVD:

Corpse Bride <--- It was very hard to hold off buying the DVD.
Unforgiven
Pitch Black

#4 will be King Kong (with the HD DVD drive), and #5 will be The Thing.

I'm not keen on purchasing most of my DVDs on HD DVD again. OTOH, I wish combo discs were cheaper, because I'd preferentially buy those (if all the usual extras were still there). I like the fact I can rip DVDs to my iPod. So far we can't do this with HD DVD.

All of these I have seen in theaters, but just never picked up the SD DVD's.

Corpse Bride
Mission Impossible III
The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift
Constantine
Troy
Serenity

When I bought my player I also picked up:

Serenity
Chronicles of Riddick

I previously didn't own either of these. Since than my HD-DVD collection has expanded (not alot, I only have 16 or so movies)and I don't have any movies that I previously owned on DVD.

I believe the first was Van Helsing, followed by The Fast and The Furious, Sahara, The Break-Up and M:I:III.

I bought the first four releases and had never seen any of them:
Serenity
The Last Samurai
Phantom of the Opera
Million Dollar Baby

Actually, at least half of my discs have been "blind buys", and I have had some pleasant surprises.

My first was Unforgiven. The next ones were The Searchers, Corpse Bride, and then Good Night and Good Luck.

Same here.

The Last Samurai

Training Day, it was one of those movies I wanted to get but never occured to me when I was shopping for DVDs. BB, CatCF, DoH, Slither, 12 Monkeys, all the MI's, EtD Sahara, Ray, and a few more hat don't come to mind are all first time buys for me.

Cheap post count. Serenity and The Searchers. Others I have the SD DVD also.

Serenity,Riddick & Swordfish
