Do some research if you have doubts.

Are you an insider? This is the first I have heard of it being delayed for monetary reasons. Everything I've read so far has been rumor.

As for Leon: The Professional, it is an entirely different matter - as great a film as it is it is nowhere near as popular as something like The Lord of the Rings.

Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to know whether some random dude is an insider or whatever? Look at my post count dude, don't expect everybody to know everything about this place, especially when your only response is a 4 word sentence with no explanation whatsoever. No need to be such a jerk.

Well that's what Bill Hunt said and what everyone else has been saying on other forums, but I guess there hasn't been any confirmation so I apologize for assuming. Still, to say "nobody will buy it" isn't exactly proof of anything. Of course people will buy inferior Blu-Rays, it happens every day.

Like I said - DO SOME RESEARCH if you aren't sure. Some might say a new member posting nothing but "....source?" is being a jerk. It's not the forum's job to put it on a silver platter for you just because you decided to show up.

If you're new to a forum and two different long-time members tell you he's the source, well, STFU about it and move on.

Those people would be wrong. There's nothing amiss about asking for a source on what is obviously a contentious issue that nobody seems to know the exact answer to. Relax dude. Seriously.

A friend over at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has e-mailed me today with an update on the studio's forthcoming Blu-ray Disc release of The Professional (due on 11/17). The information on the studio's press site was apparently inaccurate. We're pleased to inform you all that Sony's confirmed that the BD release will actually be Leon: The Professional, and will include BOTH the much-loved international cut as well as the U.S. theatrical version. This is in addition to the extras we mentioned yesterday, which should include 3 featurettes (10 Year Retrospective: Cast and Crew Look Back, Jean Reno: The Road to Leon and Natalie Portman: Starting Young), as well as a BD-Java Fact Track. That's very good news indeed for fans, which we definitely are.

Of course it includes both cuts. I'm glad for the confirmation though. Now I can officially say this will be a must own Blu-ray.

I'm confused. I thought I made a post in this thread. Did it get deleted?

So .. basically the same cover art as the deluxe edition DVD. Pretty lazy of Sony, but I guess it could have been worse.

Sweet price (already had it preordered since day zero so it should change to that).

I hadn't considered upgrading Leon, but at that price, definitely.

I think they're matching Best Buy's online price during Best Buy's 30% sale. I wonder if it will go back up some after this weekend.
