Target is listing the date as March 29th. That seems like such a long wait now, considering it was potentially going to be released on the 8th. I'm really looking forward to adding this to my collection.

I might buy the Target version, but pick up the tandard slipcover, which I like better.

With the success it's having at the box office, I'm just glad we're still getting a release in March.

Not that it matters a whole lot since it's only the cover but both kinda suck if you ask me. Never understand why they use lame images like this on Blu-rays/DVDs especially when the promo posters for this movie were so awesome. Oh well still in for this whenever it's out.

It wouldn't sell the movie. I'm pretty sure those posters weren't from the United States anyways, and there's no way the studio will use an international poster for a domestic release.

Just checked on Amazon, they've taken off the 3/8 date so it may be 3/29

Still nothing concrete. But pre-order pages at major retailers (Target, Wal-Mart) -- one w/ exclusive artwork -- are good indicators that the date might be accurate.

I canceled my B&N preorder at $23.99 and will pick up the red combo pack at Target, hoping they have plenty of them and a sub-$25 price.

Guess they were waiting until the day after the Oscars to see what kind of award sticker they could slap on the case:

http://geektyrant.com/news/2011/2/28...ease-date.html

From the Press Release:

EXPERIENCE THE TWISTED YET INSPIRED MASTERPIECE LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Capture the Electrifying Thriller That Has Audiences on the Edge of Their Seats On Blu-ray and DVD March 29.

Starring Natalie Portman in her Academy Award® winning role, BLACK SWAN is a seductive yet haunting film that will leave you breathless. Directed by innovator Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler), this Best Picture nominated film boasts a wealth of talent including Portman (Closer), in the performance of her career, as well as Mila Kunis (Date Night), Winona Ryder (Girl, Interrupted) and Vincent Cassel (Ocean’s Twelve). In the film that Daily Variety hailed as "...wicked, sexy and ultimately devastating... fascinating," Natalie Portman’s mesmerizing transformation into the Black Swan leaves you breathless – and wanting to see it again. Become part of the haunting phenomenon and own BLACK SWAN on Blu-ray or DVD on March 29th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Natalie Portman), a ballerina in the New York City Ballet trying to make it to the top. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), also impresses Leroy and becomes Nina’s competition. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly with her innocence and grace, but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan with her fiery personality. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

The BLACK SWAN Blu-ray disc contains special features not included on the DVD including exciting behind-the-scenes looks at the filmmaking process and interviews with the cast and director Darren Aronofsky. With the best-available sound and picture quality, the Blu-ray format provides viewers the premier way to experience the stunning Academy Award®-nominated cinematography, memorable character performances and flawless choreography of BLACK SWAN.

- Metamorphosis: A Three-Part Series

The cover itself isn't THE exclusive part about it. I mean, it's part of it. But it also comes with a DVD.

re: Black Swan (Aronofsky, 2010) -- 3/29/2011

both my wife and I are very excited about this release and it will definitely be a Day 1 purchase, but where from remains to be seen.

Cover art doesn't bother me that much, I'd rather get extra content for the same price, give or take a buck over the front of the case, given that 99% of the time it's just the spine you see. The only time you get to see the cover at our house is when I put the case on display on the 'NOW PLAYING' marquee stand I have next to the blu ray player.
