No Twilight Zone The Movie today on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray?
I have called a half dozen local retailers and even contacted Deepdiscount and nobody has had this in stock. The lady at DeepDiscount told me that her computer shows its arrival to be on the 19th? A Friday? Does anyone know what is going on with this release? Thanks!

I was at several stores today - no one had any version of it - DVD, HD DVD or Blu-Ray.
My Blu-Ray order was still pending at Amazon. However, the HD DVD version shows as In stock, so I ordered that and it went to Shipping Soon status. Not sure what's up with WB. Troy and Alexander were also spotty with getting out on time 2 weeks ago.

Same for here in Lansing. I went all over and to no avail. Picked up the SD version (of which there were plenty) just to tide me over.

My Twilight Zone BD was holding up my preorders from going out from DVDEmpire on Friday so I moved it to next week and still shown as not in stock as of today.
According to a distributor at the blu-ray forums (moretonbay) that is pretty reliable with his info, there are distribution issues with a lot of discs from Warner on both BD\HD-DVD for this week and at least the next week as well (he also mentions a delay for Transformers).

I am going to put to rest any rumors of of all the 10/9 releases being delayed.
THE FOLLOWING BLU-RAYS ARE IN STOCK:
FROM HELL
EDWARD SCISSORHANDS
28 DAYS LATER
28 WEEKS LATER
SURF'S UP
ROBOCOP
REIGN OVER ME
THE FLY
THE ONLY 10/9 TITLE NOT REC'D WAS
TWILIGHT ZONE (HD ALSO DIDN'T RECEIVE THEIRS EITHER)
ALSO THE FOLLOWING 10/16 TITLES ARE IN STOCK WITH DISTRIB.:
THE INVISIBLE
MASTERS OF HORROR SEASON 1 VOL. 1
HOLLOW MAN
MASTERS OF HORROR SEASON 1 VOL. 2
NOT IN STOCK:
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL
THE REAPING
Even for HD
currently not in stock to ship to retailers are:
Return to House on Haunted Hill
The Reaping
Transformers (I'm sorry but I find this funny that it hasn't been rec'd by distrib)
(BY THE WAY THE DVD VERSION IS IN STOCK BUT NOT THE HD)
THE ONLY 10/16 TITLE THEY HAVE IN STOCK IS
A MIGHTY HEART.
For 10/9
Evan Almight was in stock for them
but they also do not have any Twilight Zone's either
THIS IS A WARNER PROBLEM - NOTHING ELSE AND ITS THE SAME FOR BOTH SIDES. When Warner recently upgraded their system everything got very very messed up - so right now they can't tell anyone if their order has been fulfilled - if so when it was shipped - any tracking numbers to the distributors or chains. Everyone keeps saying this will be fixed shortly-but to be honest you never know. Whenever they do get their system running properly again - you will see the releases on time again.

Hmm, I assumed it hadn't been sent because I ordered it from WB along with the Kubrick titles, so I figured they were going to wait and send them all at once since I got free shipping. I sure hope they get this straightened out by then.

Are you certain that you read that e-mail correctly? Amazon just sent me a notice saying that Twight Zone HD has been delayed. And I'm a Prime member, so I doubt they'd delay it for me if they had any copies to ship.

Same here with Troy. Mine didn't ship on the Monday. Saw it at Fry's Tuesday but didn't get it. Tuesday at 8pm and it still hadn't shipped. I run down to Fry's to get it, come back, and then it was in "Shipping Soon".
