So why did it get pulled? Were there quality issues? Rights issues with some of the bonus material used? Any word when it will resurface?

I believe the consensus is that this similar to the Batman Begins 2-Disc that went OOP shortly after release (in fact, some people that pre-ordered from Amazon.com and ColumbiaHouse.com apparently never received their Batman Begins 2-Disc ... see other threads on DVDTalk ... Batman Begins Deluxe Edition... current release going OOP and Batman Begins Deluxe Edition - Awaiting Stock).

As far as I have read, not much in terms of reasoning behind it.

The reosoning behind the Batman Begins going OOP was cuz of the comic book. Could they be releasing jarhead sans the booklet as well?

There's nothing really in the booklet that would be similar to the Batman Begins comic book - it's just film quotes and shots from the film.

At my local Best Buy.
They had 3 in the display stand.

I did a check through websites last night and I found:
bestbuy.com and fye.com still show it in stock.

It just came out last week....If you look hard enough, you'll find leftovers. It's true value and availability can only be judged within a few months after it's release.

ditto for me too. all of the best buy's around my area have the two disc set. $32.99 though

my Best Buy only got 5... i picked up the second to last one. Get it while you can.

Nice looking set, buy WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY overpriced for a 2-discer. Going OOP or not, I'm not biting on this one.

Does anyone know if the Jarhead 2 Disc on Amazon CA is bilingual? Also, any other known differences between it and its US counterpart?

saw 3 on new release shelf today at local best buy.

As far as I can tell from looking at it, the only difference is the piece of paper on the back being bilingual. The disc package itself seems identical.

They did the same thing with the War of the Worlds 2 Disc LE. Entire thing was the us version except for the bilingual slip of paper stuck to the back.

These things are everywhere around here. No one wants to pay $40 for a 2 disc DVD.

whotony,

It is definitely a YMMV thing, as I do not have any at my local Best Buy. Of course, if you're offering to pick one up for me for cost, I wouldn't mind it at all.

Damed,

Thanks a lot for the info.

and by "local" do we mean within 100 miles, cause 6 sounds like a lot.

that's weird, the lowest it goes for on Amazon is $65! crazy!

Crazy indeed. Glad I got mine from Tower for, what, $22 and change?

There are a truckload of these available at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square in NYC. The catch is that they're priced at $40. I couldn't bring myself to buy one. Ouch!

My Best Buy did not even get these in until the 13th. I picked one up on the 17th and they had 4 left. I had ordered one from Tower on the morning of the 11th, but I am guessing I will not be getting that order.

Anyone get theirs from Towerrecords.com yet? They charged my credit card a week ago.

Mine came from Tower late last week. For some reason, they wrapped a rubberband around the shrinkwrap as well. Thankfully it didn't cause any damage.

Best buy in Pentagon City mall (VA) has at least 8 of them for a sticker price of 32.99 for any interested. There are in the new release isle.

i was back in there again later on and all 3 were gone.
i was going to pick one up for myself but it was too late.

They also charged mine. I have no idea what happens now... I hope we get refunded.

Same here, not sure what that was about.

Probably the best reason why it was oop, is simply because its not listed anymore as in stock at amazon, and those marketplace seller saw the opportunity to jack up the price up to atleast $60.
