If you're choosing DVDs over Blu-rays because of covers, why are you buying Blu-rays in the first place?

Eh, both covers aren't great. But this movie never really had a strong promotional push, never had a main poster image designed for it in the first place. Still, I was hoping for a ten-yr release they'd do a black and white newspaper style cover. All well, I just hope the A/V is top-notch as this is one of my fav films.

Good to hear that it wasn't delayed again. I was kinda worried because Warner has been sending out new releases to me about a week early and I hadn't gotten this one yet.

I think that wound up being an error (and TrueHD was announced for it), but with Warner who knows. Even if they print TrueHD on the case (Pushing Daisies) it still might not even be included.

I hope that's the case. I do see it listed with TrueHD over at Highdefdigest . . .

Well, it was a Newline title so they would have been working on a DTS MA track for it...unless Warner nixed that.

I have the disc (Blow) and can confirm it has a TrueHD track on it.

I got mine very early last week. I watched it over the weekend and thought it looked pretty damn good. What's more, it was the first time I had seen the movie, so the enjoyment factor was even higher.

You're not alone. I preordered mine about six weeks ago, and as of this morning, its not showing shipped. I think this might be the first time Warner haven't shipped me a preorder in a timely fashion.
