Where's the Beef?

Just finally pre-ordered the Toshiba HD A1 from crutchfield. It was a good deal with the current $50 off coupon, and free shipping. I added the two year replacement plan, which I consider a good investment to say the least as in year's time I plan on my Toshiba having techincal difficulty (not being able to play 1080p) thus needing replacement and since the A1 will long since be out of production, I should get the newest model. :)

Anyhoo, does anyone have a list of what HD DVD movies are coming out AT LAUNCH?

It would be really sucky to have no titles come out at launch... :(

These will include Batman Begins, Constantine, Training Day, The Matrix and some combination of those titles already tentatively announced at CES in January (which included Twister, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Lethal Weapon, Unforgiven, Goodfellas, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Swordfish, Syriana, Blazing Saddles, Dukes of Hazzard, Full Metal Jacket, Rumor Has It, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Charlie & Chocolate Factory, The Green Mile: Special Edition, Ocean's Twelve and Troy).
