So theres Apple's HD gallery (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/), Microsoft's HD gallery (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/musicandvideo/hdvideo/contentshowcase.aspx) and NASA's too (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/hd_index.html). Aside from those 3 places does anyone else have any cool links for HD content? I noticed that the "hdtv" release of an episode of Stargate Atlantis wasn't 720p but 554p. So now I've joined the HD era I've suddenly found it lacks actual content. My 360 is brilliant for HD games, love it. I plan to wait longer before deciding whether to go Bluray (£400) or HD-DVD (£100). I don't really want to have 15 different players just to watch a movie. But anyway, anyone got any cool links to share?

Yeah there seems to be a lack of things really. The *best* I've found so far is kinda funny. It was shot with a camera similar to mine using time-lapse photography. 599 Productions (http://www.599productions.com/599/Home.html). Its stunning at 720p @ 32''.

I'll download the full thing later but that looks cracking, just watched that on my dell 24". Now there was Saw II floating around at 720p on the networks recently. Trouble is its around 20-30gb download for even a semi-hd film

I've seen some x264 720p releases around 4gb. Kinda annoying that things are now 4x the size and being such a geeky perfectionist, I want the best :)
