Eventually (hopefully) more of the older catalog titles will end up on HD. I can't guaranty all of your list, but perhaps some of it. The whole point of the "next generation", is to get us to rebuy catalog titles. The studios are already making lots of $$$ on new releases, they want us to replace our collections (again) with HD. Unfortunately, because the #1 bD player is a game console, the target audience tends to be skewed towards a younger croud. As a result, older catalog titles tend not to sell well in HD. The big sellers seem to be comic book type movies and such.
Pity.
