I'm hoping that when
Eyes Wide Shut hits HD DVD they'll have an "unrated" version without the super-fake CGI "actors" in the way of the action
I've staked my claim in HD DVD! Gods be damned!
I also own the Kubrick box set...but it's a shame they didn't put
Paths of Glory and
The Killing in there. Sure, they're his "lesser" works but they still need to be grouped with the rest....Hell, I'd throw
Spartacus in there too.
I can't wait to see
Barry Lyndon and
2001 in HD! I hope they come out soon...
Eyes Wide Shut and
2001: A Space Odyssey came out on the same day (this past Tuesday).
Eyes Wide Shut is the un-edited version. So far I don't know of any plans to release
Barry Lyndon in high-def.
I must mention that the blu-ray disc of
A Clockwork Orange is all on one disc while the HD-DVD is on two, so obviously blu-ray has a higher capacity. I really don't care which format wins, although blu-ray has prettier looking cases.
Oh, if anyone wants in-depth reviews/comparisons of all the new Kubrick DVDs I'd go to DVD Beaver:

Full Metal Jacket disc, yet.
