Yep, its the same as the 2-Disc DVD packaging... apparently there is a clear sleeve that covers it so you can put it with the rest of your collection nicely (like the Simpson season heads)... the Blu-ray one will be clearly marked with a black and blue strip on its side, from what I am told.

This actually could work out for me. I ordered this as the paid part of a BOGO order with Columbia House. In the past when CH cancelled the paid part of a BOGO order, they still sent out the freebie and never charged anything for it.

According to some posts at Blu-Ray.com at least one reviewer already received a replacement copy, so maybe it won't be a huge problem.
I had placed my Amazon pre-order months ago, and that order now points to a "Currently Unavailable" page at Amazon, but there is a new Amazon item page for it with pre-order availability, so I just replaced my order with that item.
EDIT: Now it looks like my order for the old item was actually updated automatically to the new item, even though it shows me the "You Order This Item" header on the defunct product page. Weird.

Another reviewer I talk to received a replacement disc on Saturday - I'm expecting mine today. My copy played just fine in my LG 200 and PS3

The DigitalBits is reporting that the discs available on release date next week will be the corrected ones. My question is, what about those discs that are part of some special edition package, like Future Shop's steelbook blu-ray release, or Best Buy's gift set with the helmet bust? Are they gonna ship back all those too, rip 'em apart, and replace disc one for all of them???

You have to wonder how much money will be lost on not only wasted BD50 replication, but rush shipments of these discs to retail.
I think it's important they get this one right though. IMO this is essentially the start of the big fall/holiday release season, and you don't want to fall on your face the second you start running.

Universal will sadly take the blunt yet again. They have had to downgrade numerous releases to BD25 lately (Leatherheads, Baby Mama - bye-bye extra features!). Hulk, luckily, won't suffer.

This is all speculation on your part, correct? Or do you have specific insider info?

I don't know if it's a shortage as much as simply not ever having the capacity to keep up. There's never been much official word on it, but when new movies, let alone catalog titles, get single-layer discs when they could have had more included, one can only assume it's either lack of BD-50 capacity or extreme penny-pinching on the part of the offending studios, or maybe both.
