Default Best place to buy HD DVD's?

Treated myself to a HD DVD drive for my xbox360.....

all set up and working fine on normal dvd's but Microsoft in their ultimate wisdom didn't even supply a test or sample hd dvd in the box!

Anyone recommend some places to buy discs?

cheers

Andy

T'internet. Most shops only seem to stock BluRay discs: I understand that this is because they have a far more attractive profit margin.....

I get most of mine here:

MovieTyme

Huge selection and many titles not available in the UK at the moment. HD DVD is region free

I'd second these, about £10 a disc cheaper than your local HMV. I've looked in HMV at the price of some of their discs and the single ones go for about £25 .
