Was The Natural postponed?

I had it ordered with Good Sheperd & King Arthur today & the other 2 shipped. Amazon still had it as the second shipment for my order, but this morning it was completely gone from my order? I didn't get a cancel email like I did for Me, Myself & Irene (also supposed to be today), and Best Buy says it was released- but it's backordered & no stores have it in stock? Did it come out?

"We've contacted Sony about this title several times over the last several months (most recently last week), and they've repeatedly told us that the disc will not be released on April 3rd."

Best Buy is supposed to have a limited edition version of The Natural. A box set of sorts, including a mock baseball card, baseball cap, etc..

Can't stop there today, but prolly tomorrow morning. Looking forward to this release.

Just got an E-Mail from Amazon:
Hello from Amazon.com.

We are sorry to report that we will not be able to obtain the following
item from your order:

"The Natural [Blu-ray]"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MNOX7G

Though we had expected to be able to send this item to you, we've
since found that it is not available from any of our sources at this
time. We realize this is disappointing news to hear, and we apologize
for the inconvenience we have caused you.

We have cancelled this item from your order.

I stopped by after work today to get it and they had about 10 total at 5:30 PM EST where I live, so you should be fine. The set is REALLY cool!!! It's in a box about the same size as the "Office Space" set, so pretty big. I got a few for friends too and carrying out 4 of those bad boys was an adventure. Picture me in my wheelchair and all you see is my head and two giant, yellow Best Buy bags with 4 huge boxes in them all on my lap...I can't believe I made it back my van without dropping these considering I had to navigate my wheelchair, hit the van door opener, get up the van ramp and hold onto these with my chin all at the same time!

I was getting the BD version, but also got the notice that it was cancelled. I went ahead and bought the Best Buy gift set for $20. I still may get it on BD later.

I was fully aware of that fact but wanted to respond to someone's comment on the Gift Set. It was never my intention to derail the thread, which didn't happen anyway, so I think we'll all make it afterall
