Sure buddy, am rackin' up the popular ones.  I take it you're an HDDVD aficionado.  Am format neutral so have a couple of RED titles on my rack as well.  I really started out Blu, but midway through, just had to grab the Transformers in HD so went neutral.  Unfortunately, the after-effects of the Red camp's demise has led the the cease of production across studios as you may well know. 

As a result, even the reviews of the new releases in High Def Digest has literally ground down to a halt.  Am just surfing other sites which have RED titles which haven't been posted before just to keep this RED thread going.  Of course, the Bluray reviews have been outpacing this thread but I still feel the quality of HDDVD is awesome! Personally, will still continue to collect...  ;) 
Hope you do too.

Here's another good one for you.  ;)

For all those tryin to keep the HDDVD collectibles, will re-list down the top 10 which made their 'DVD Talk Collectors Series.'  If you're trying to sort through your red titles to shed off some titles, these are the keepers.  ;)

A caveat though, these are not necessarily the best in PQ and AQ but the best scored overall with all the other aspects considered like Content, Extras, Replay value etc.  And this is the ranking of DVD Talk only.  Will try to do HDD's ranking some other time. ;)
