What is supposedly the world’s last “HD DVD” release is now available exclusively at DVAspecial. The title in question is P2, a 2007 horror film which performed poorly at the box office, the title is available for $26.99.
Interestingly, Brad Kugler the CEO of DVA claims to have inked a deal with an unknown studio for more HD DVD releases. It remains unclear if Mr. Kugler is referring to new titles or those previously released.

Who CARES whwhich is the “last” HD-DVD? We all know it will be some porn anyway.
this is actually a pretty good horror film.
@Justin Sluss –
I noticed you own the onkyo 605. I’m really thinking about getting the 606, maybe the 806 to hook up to my 7.1 klipsh.
How good is the onkyo?
Can you really hear a true difference with HD audio?
If your blu-ray or DVD is only 5.1 can the onkyo matrix the sound to the back surround speakers?
I don’t know that I necessarily care this is the ‘last’ HD DVD release, but I am intrigued as far as the possibility of future releases … I would buy them.
I know this post is going to start a lot of people back and forth arguing – I’m just saying I would purchase a few more flicks for my now defunct player, which doesn’t stop me from enjoying it.

I have an Onkyo 805 and the answer is YES! TrueHD, DTS-MA, DTS-HD and Dolby Digital+ (1.5mbps) are miles better than DTS or Dolby Digital from DVD.
Nothing wrong with that Ryan! Hey, if ya got the player by all means get the content. eople still buy LaserDisc and VHS, so what the heck…!
