Just picked up the only copy that my local Borders had. I'm SO glad to finally have this on DVD. I think it's the last film, except for Star Wars, that I have to replace the LD version of.
It's gonna be a long day at work waiting to get home to watch this!

HOLD ON EVERYONE
I finally cracked the seal on my copy, only to experience problems playing the disc. Everything was fine until around the 1 hour 22 minute mark and the disc started pausing, skipping, and stopping. The most severe problems occured during the baptism scene and the filming plan 9 scenes.
My DVD player is a Samsung M301 and I've never experience these problems with a new disc before. Maybe the defect news was true.

There are sealed copies going on eBay for less than half that amount. A week ago, it wasn't ridiculous, but there are too many discs for sale right now to support that price.

Did you try it in a different player? Will we have to do a list of which ones its confirmed as working in?

My local Borders reports that they have 2 in stock, but the person I spoke with said she could not find it out on the shelf. Not looking good in my search so far.

I found 6 copies (now only 4 ) at my local Fred Meyer (NW chain store). It's marked $19.99, but there is a $3 off coupon good all this week. I'm not going to open mine until I hear the reason for the recall.

My local Borders is holding a copy for me and I'll be driving down around 5 to pick it up. (The nearest Borders is 45 minutes away.) The one copy at my Blockbuster was pulled this morning before I could get there. If some people are having luck at Best Buy, I'll have to check in there, too.
I thought being out of the way up here in Maine, I'd have a little more luck. Curse the power of the Internet and its rapid communication.

Apparently the local Best Buy here in san antonio didn't get the memo..have plenty of copies, though I was quick to notice that people buying it are buying multiple copies (I just bought one cos I ain't got no job and hardly any money right now).

Blockbuster in Westbrook had been saying all week that they had one copy, which they could never find and then, last night, began saying that they didn't have it and wouldn't be getting it. Good luck with your search!

Like I said, there's one being reserved for me so if you were able to purchase one with no problem, I think I should be okay.
I'm in Lewiston, and I tried all the local places so South Portland was my next shot. If I don't manage to get it there, I was going to head up to Bangor and see what they have.
Thanks for the info.

I can't help but think that when this movie finally comes out for real on DVD, very few people will buy it because most of the people who want it will have it already!

There's a Borders in Bangor you might want to call. And I haven't heard anyone say the South Portland Best Buy doesn't have them out.

Danvers MA:
FYE - "Sold out"
Best Buy - Said "Deleted" on their computer, none of the guys I talked to heard of the recall, they expected shipment later that day.
Suncoast - Nothing.
