...and it looks like I will! :up:

Why are people bagging on the "Yule love it!" tagline? It's from in the friggin' movie, fer Pete's sake!... the slogan of the network. It's not like some marketroid came up with the idea just for the DVD.

Talk about "not getting it." Sheesh.

Anyone see this for preorder anywhere?

Ya, sign me up for this one. Definately on the "must watch xmas movies" list for me.

I'll probably just chop the cover from my old release and use that. Other than that, I'm stoked for this!

Christmas is going to be fun this year with all the great upgrades due out: Scrooged, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (animated), Holiday Inn, Home Alone, It's a Wonderful Life...I can't wait. I already sent my bare bones Scrooged off to my father's house in anticipation of this new version.

sheesh...a commentary...i'm in

Looks like Paramount may have already delayed SCROOGED from 10/31. I'll let you know more when I find some more news on it.

Glad I didn't sell my old one yet. Guess I'll keep it for now, in case it's delayed for a while.

Rob

iam not worried.iam sure it will come out wither in November or December.

I had no plans really to upgrade this, but late November (11/21 or 11/28 - 2006) or early December (12/05 or 12/12 - 2006) makes more sense for them to push the date up to, but 12/19/2006 really would be an ideal street date if you ask me for this release. However, Paramount has a track record of delaying catalogue titles for quite some time, so wisely hold onto your current Scrooged dvds until further notice.

Maybe they're timing it to coincide with an HD DVD release ;)

Going to pick this one up for sure. A classic IMO

November 21 would probably be the smartest street date since that would put it on shelves in time for the after-Thanksgiving holiday shopping kickoff.

So any word at all on this release? Is it still delayed, or been rescheduled?, some online sites still have the release date set for 10/31/2006 and are taking preorders.

Blockbuster (the store where I work) still has it coming out on October 31 with 2 on order.

What does that mean? NOTHING. Because Blockbuster is wrong all the time about release dates.

This surely looks like a bust to me, no release on 10/31/2006, Axelmusic.com has it listed as coming out 12/31/2025. This looked like a sure fire release from the studio with all those specs and extras that were announced. Hopefully this will be announced again and released in time for the Christmas holiday from Paramount.

I bet it still drops sometime before Christmas. The DVD is obviously ready to go. Their marketing dept. has already put out press releases, distributed pics of the cover art, menus, etc. And given that it's a X-Mas movie, it really needs to capitalize on the holiday market. It's not going to sell probably half as many copies if it comes out in March.

Really???

I better start saving, that's like next week! ;)

Go right ahead, I will to, that's their expected stock arrival date! Unless the date get's pushed up! lol.

Any news on this release? Any new date? Anything?

Echo that......................

Still waiting for some kind of news!

Next person who bumps this for no reason, this bitch is hitting them with a toaster.

i'm in!

I love the holiday spirit

So I guess we can officially count this one out. Can't see anything happening in the next 3 weeks. :(

Now you gotta hit yourself with a toaster. ;)

I just finished watching this; I'm glad I waited to sell it!

Hope we get the SE before next Christmas...

Rob

What I don't understand is why is it so frigging hard for the studio to issue some sort of release that a previously announced DVD is delayed? Clearly they had no problem announcing the impending release. But then the date passes by and...nothing. Just say anything. "Oops, we screwed up. It ain't coming out now, and we don't know when it will." At least that would show some respect for their consumer.

Yep, could not believe that digitalfreaknyc bumped this thread up on own terms. RobCA, I second that. :)

Actually, after not knowing wether or not I wanted to double-dip intially, I went back myself weeks ago and realized that I would! because before it had been awhile since I last viewed Scrooged on DVD. I do think as well that this is not coming before the Christmas holdiay this year, and NO it does not surprise me that Paramount has shown no respect for their customers and issued a statement of any kind to let us know that this project is in the toilet for now. I just don't like to be TEASED by a greedy Hollywood studio over a DVD that they announced for release months ago........!

I'll bet the delay is over music clearances

You mean for 'Robert Goulet's Old-Fashioned Cajun Christmas'?

either that or Paul Shaffer and Miles Davis' Jazz music

Hey Paramount, Bah-humbug! To everyone else, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Seriously man, it's my favorite Christmas movie and I still have to watch my crappy other version :(

At least there's a fairly respectable Christmas Vacation to watch in the meantime.

Bummer. I really thought they'd be compelled by the X-Mas shopping rush to get it out in time for the holiday season. I hope that same logic doesn't cause them to arbitrarily delay it until the '07 holiday season...of course, realistically, I probably won't want to watch it until then anyway.

Any News?
 

Has there been any news on this SE? I've been waiting and hoping for a long time now that Paramount would see fit to release a Special Edition of my fav Christmas movie of all time.

I don't know why the companies keep messing around with these releases like this. They did the same crap with Erik the Viking. It's pretty simple:

1. Release movie people are waiting for.
2. People buy movie.
3. Profit!

Are you in this business to make a buck? Yes. Are you making said buck if you're sitting on something people are wanting? No.

Figure it out.

Yeah! What's the deal here? Screw you, OP!
