4679106 As Good as It Gets: Anniversary Edition

Where did this one come from? This has not popped up on any news/rumor sites, including DVD Times, DVD Active or Digital Bits. Interesting. And only $12.95!

I think because when this was released they already had the older version. Usually in that case, the newer version does not become available for enrollment. And since then the older version went OOP and OOS, but they have never adjusted the enrollment status to include this which is now the only version they stock. Sometimes they never adjust it, it's the same case with a few other titles with similar circumstances.

4719704 Bram Stoker's Dracula: Special Edition (Pre-Order)

^ Another title (a la As Good as It Gets SE) that CH seems to have the jump on everyone else with -- including rumor sites like DVD Times, Digital Bits and DVD Active.

Speaking of As Good as It Gets SE -- I can't find it on the site anymore. What's up with that?

^Yes, I tried to add "Dracula", and some others, yesterday but the long post bug prevented me from updating the first post. I was able to do the update this morning.

I have noticed a number of titles disappear in recent days when I search for them by selection number. Don't have a clue what is going on. I just leave them on the list and hope that they reappear.

FYI... just applied for the first time in several months and was able to select "Flags of Our Fathers Special Collector's Edition" (2-disc SE).

Wow, you're right! That's awesome! I just reluctantly sold mine, but nice to know I can get it back as an enrollment title.

That is awesome! A few 24.95 SE's have been available for enrollment lately, another being Dreamgirls. Another recent one, Pan's Labyrinth is still not available, but this is potential good news for future enrollments. One can never tell.

^^Interesting. I would guess that someone at CH coded "Flags" as available for enrollment by mistake. Although CH didn't offer it until June, the actual release date was 5/22/07. But Paramount titles usually are delayed for three months. So it seems clear that the early availability was a mixup.

Flags is actually a Dreamworks release, hence only the 2 month wait. I actually made the same mistake before thinking it was Paramount too.

Dreamgirls is also Dreamworks. So maybe there is a trend starting here with 2-disc Dreamworks DVDs being available for enrollment relatively quickly...

It only compounds matters that Paramount owns Dreamworks. So, technically all the Dreamworks (not Dreamworks Animation SKG) releases are Paramount releases, but Dreamworks gets their name attached as the producing entity, but it is nothing more than a top-shelf production dept of Paramount...why there has been a distinction made between the two regarding Columbia House is beyond me, but Paramount holds the dvd distribution rights either way.

That explains the date discrepancy.

It is interesting that the two disc is available for enrollment even though there is still a one disc version. But Columbia House tends to be a bit inconsistent in the selection of SEs that they make available for enrollment, as you know.

20 Million Miles to Earth -- the Sony 2-disc SE, which was not available for pre-order, is actually now available today (release day). Amazing!

I don't know why the WS version of Reign Over Me is listed at $28.95 when the FS version is the usual $22.95, which is the same price the WS version was the first time CH added it to the site before the release date was changed. Hopefully it is just a glitch and will be fixed, but knowing CH probably not! Still, it's pre-order price is $19.95, and it probably will become available for enrollment anyway, so whatever.
Just thinking out loud I guess

^I agree that the $28.95 price is a glitch, presumably a typo by whoever entered the data at Columbia House.

Added 20 Million Miles to Earth and Kung Fu Hustle: DE. Thanks for bringing those release date additions to the Columbia House catalog to my attention.

Lawrence of Arabia: CE has been delayed by the studio and I have deleted it from the list until Columbia House lists it again.
