It's still listed on Universal's press site. Let's not call it dead yet.

one can only hope they skip the single disc and release the 2-disc (sans the non-DVD bonus rubbish) for $29.95... as they should.

That's just what I was thinking, and hoping for.

I cant find one other source that says this has been cancelled.

Shit. I've had this pre-ordered at amazon for a while...used a GC too.

as of thursday, it was still listed at amazon. i placed an order then and it has yet to be cancelled.

This report sounds bogus. Universal has already sent out review copies of Jarhead that include a watermarked movie-only disc (to prevent copying) and two discs with extras totaling more than two hours. This is not final-product configuration, of course, but this is the material that will be on the final release and it equates to a two-disc set. I received this review copy Friday.

I will know later this week as I have a meeting with my distributor who will confirm what's going on with universal. She did mention that she believes it might be because someone is getting an exclusive on the deluxe edition. We shall see...

i do have feelings that these kinda threads are opened in here just to make ppl go and order the DVD....

Apparently Universal has decided to only sell the deluxe versions to the bigger chains like Best Buy and the likes.

They did the same thing recently for the deluxe edition of Cinderella Man... Slop101 predicted it well.

This is further proof how the Studios are helping to drive the smaller guys out of business. Not nice.

there's another word I'd like to use these studios. Not nice = asshole-ish.

Well Amazon still has it up for preorder.

It's not true... at all. I talked with someone from Universal and it is not cancelled. So there you go.

well what i heard from our distributor is that its going to be alot like Cinderella Man where it'll be somewhat like a limited edition.

Just as long as my Amazon preorder ships :)

The Passenger is still up, as well.

anyone confirm or deny the existence of this set and if still shipping next week?

My work just got them in today so its a go...

where do you work? just send me an advance, k?
this is awesome. i am sure it will make a lot of peeps happy!

Since none of the major adds are mentioning this, i.e. BB and CC, I would really like to know if the B & M stores are going to have it.

I checked Best Buy and CC.

CC doesn't have it listed, but BB does for a COLOSSAL 32.99. :eek:

I work at a major retailer in Canada, and we got our copies on Monday. Funny thing is, our store is offering an exclusive "metal slip cover" to people who purchase the film, but... get this... the 2-disc version doesn't fit inside it! tsk tsk...

Now, does anyone know if the dogtags at BB come with the 2-disc?

They do not.

ygm

also. . is this retailer located in Vancouver as well?? My brother lives in Seattle and usually heads that way now an then. Id really like to get my greedy hands on this movie with the metal slip cover.
