Was The Late Shift really released on 8/30? It doesn't appear to be in any of the B&M stores in my area and is not listed on Amazon. I have also not seen any DVD reviews. Basically, I have not seen any sign of an actual release other than an 8/30 release date on those online stores that actually have it listed.

I agree that I can't find it anywhere on Amazon's listings. However, I checked Warner's password-protected press site and it shows that the release date for The Late Shift on DVD is 8/30. No notices or markings indicating a delay. I'm not sure why you can't find it in your B&M stores. BestBuy.com shows in as being in stock, but perhaps they are only selling it online (more and more titles are not being stocked in-store by BB...dammit). Various e-tailers (DVDPlanet, DVDEmpire, DDD) all show it in-stock. Whatever the problem is, it's probably just related to the chains thinking of it as an obscure title (which I would disagree with compared to a lot of the other stuff they stock on shelves).

Mine arrived yesterday from the pre-order I placed months ago (based on the original May date) from DigitalEyes, and for under $6 shipped to boot!

Check your local Borders. My store got it in the shipment. Of course, now my store is underwater, but your local store should have it.

Thanks for the replies. I Ordered it from DigitalEyes this evening.

Is the DVD bare?

Yes.

I can't find it anywhere...as well as Pirates of silicon valley...anybody in Canada come across either of these and if so where??...this I'm also still trying to find 'tales from the crypt season 1"...damn

I just got my copy from DDD today. FYI: there is a real question about the OAR. I remember watching it in 1.33 on HBO, but the disc has been formated to 1:78. Some group scenes actually look better in widescreen (such as Letterman's first meeting with Ovitz,) but the tops of lots of heads are gone. I think we may have another Kung Fu: Season 1 here.
