A very limited library of titles appears to be available at the moment with, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse appearing to be the highest-profile release available for purchase in HD."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1291833810.usr105634.jpg" style="margin-left: 210px; margin-right: 210px;" /></p><p>The normally&nbsp;&pound;9.99 SD films are going for &pound;12.99 if you want it in HD, and the normally &pound;6.99 SD films are selling for &pound;7.99 in HD. They used to only offer renting as an option, so it's good they are expanding the options for those in the UK. It sure seems to take a lot longer than it does in the US, and since I'm not all that familiar with licensing I'm just assuming that is the case? What are your thoughts?</p>
