What you'll find with these movies is that their Blu-Ray counterparts have the exact same video transfer but a higher quality lossless audio transfer. If picture quality is your only concern then I would go for it. If on the other hand you want superb audio as well you should know that most (not all) HD-DVDs that are on sale have compressed sound (Dolby 5.1 compared to Dolby True-HD, DTS-MA, uncompressed tracks, etc.)
I would go for it. HMV has 4 for $20 deals, Superstore has them for $6.99 (if you can stand going through their cheap DVD/HD-DVD bins), and Walmart sells them for 4 for $20 too. You can find some great titles if you do a bit of searching. I probably have about 20-25 HD-DVDs because of these sales and they are a great buy.
