That would be great; I'd buy the original Stargate in HD for $9.99.

Sadly, It's probably just a typo considering the SD is the same price. I may be wrong though, and I hope I am actually! This is a little off topic, but how does Apple or Sony with their Blu-Ray discs make older movies into a better HD resolution then when the movies were released? There are quite a few older titles available in Blu-Ray high-def and I've never quite understood how they were able to convert those into an HD format.

They use very high quality digital scanners to scan the analog film.

Film is not bound by maximum lines of resolution until it's digitized. -It's like a developed photograph.

To make old movies HD, they just need to rescan them at 720 or better from the original film.

As for these 9.99 HD movies, what's going on? So far only one on the promo page actually links to the HD movie. The rest go to the SD version.

I think I might email iTunes support and let them know.
