The Digital Bits doesn't have a listing for any pre-order date for "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York"  and Amazon.com still has the statement: "This title has not yet been released", where the release date usually goes for ordering.

Yet, High-Def Digest, Blu-ray.com, DVD Empire and DVD Planet have the release date as October 6.

Wonder what will actually develop in two days time?

BestBuy.com has it listed as having an estimated arrival time of 10/6/2009

Best buy now has it in stock and available for in store pickup. Weird how amazon still has it as a pre-order...

Thanks for the heads-up Dave. 

It's listed $2.00 more than the price at Amazon but it's available @ Best Buy-online and it said it was available at my local store, so I canceled my Amazon preorder. 
They really need to get their release dates coordinated with the studios if they want the business.  I'm not going to wait and I also have a $25.00 Best Buy gift card I received for a birthday present that now will  come in handy.
