Amazon.com has the Universal Action Pack containing Miami Vice, U-571 and End of Days for $41.95. That averages out to $13.98 per movie. Amazon will likely drop the price a bit more before the 8/26 release date.

I'll definitely dive into this pack for sure! 

EDIT: Wait...no lossless audio?!  I might have to wait.  It doesn't make any sense to take that amount of time to release when it's just an HD DVD port.  That should've been out last month.

DTS-HD MA is lossless.  This is good!  The Amazon link just stated DTS, AC3, and something else I can't remember.

This is a purchase for sure, again.

So they aren't just porting the titles after all. I find it rather interesting that they are DTS HD - MA and not True HD. Because on all their HD-DVD Releases they worked with Dolby. It seems that DTS made the better offer.
Another Major player for the DTS Side.

Warner, Disney, Sony are still True HD though.
