WTF is wrong with these idiots?
So it's assumed the first delay was due to BD+. Is that still the case? or is it now BD-50 production issues?
I love Fox films and Blu-Ray but damn they are making it hard not to resent them right now.

"In terms of release news, 20th Century Fox has just informed us that their Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Blu-ray Disc, which had been set for release on 10/2, has been temporarily delayed. Apparently, during QC, Fox discovered an authoring problem that could cause problems on a small number of Blu-ray players, so they decided to correct it. The studio tells me that they hope to announce the new street date later this week."

Master and Commander is due out in February, according to a Fox-sponsored blog.

If you take issue with Pro-B's stance, feel free to point out any flaws you see (or think you see; whatever the polite way is to write that), but don't take those sorts of snide jabs.

ps
Most everyone of the registered insiders have stopped supplying pre-release dates, and specifically, titles at Blu-Ray.com. In fact, aside from some generic technical comments advanced info is practically absent. Most likely because of inconsistencies like the one above.

I had a bad feeling when I saw this thread bumped. Hopefully these cancellations are isolated and not a symptom of another major change in Fox's stance towards HDM now that BD+ has been defeated...

You know, it really sucks too if they abandon it. Fox holds the key to me getting the Star Wars films in HD. I know it wouldn't have been for a while but each time this happens, I feel like that day slips further and further away.

The fact that many of the Fox titles are 40% off on Amazon is a good sign that they know they are overcharging their customers at $40 MSRP. Independance Day showed up in my Gold Box today, so with my 10% off discount, the final price was around $20.

What Fox DOES hold the key to, though, are movies like Alien, Patton, Fight Club, etc. They have a rich and varied catalog, and at the rate they're going, the best we're going to get from them is Independence Day.
