Master and Commander?
DVD Empire, Netflix and DVD Pacific, have Master & Commander scheduled for a May 13th release. DVD Planet and Amazon do NOT have it listed for pre-order. Has this been pulled yet once again by Fox?

Re: Master and Commander?
Well, if they yanked it to throw all copies in the trash and redo the release with all of the SD Collector Edition's meaty bonus features, I wouldn't shed a tear, but I'll assume you're not "one of those" kinds of collectors...

Re: Master and Commander?
I won't believe that the Master & Commander blu-ray disc has been released until it is physically in my hands.

Sadly, I'm with you 100% on that. Just release the bloody disc already, Fox.

Re: Master and Commander?
This has to go into the books as one of the worst handled titles, release schedule wise. The end result had damn better be worth it, with respect to PQ and AQ, which I suspect it will. God knows we're going to take the Fox-hit, so far as bonus features.
I wouldn't worry too much, so far as Amazon being the odd man out. It's the miracle of Amazon. At times you love them, at times you hate them. Their left hand seldom knows what their right hand is doing. I've given up emailing them with questions. It's like asking for assistance at Target.
I think it's far more significant that the other retailers DO show the release date.

Re: Master and Commander?
I'm actually a little frightened by how good the DTS-MA track on this disc could be. If it ever actually comes out I might need to reinforce some walls.

I hear ya there...the ship battle scene in the fog was my reference for a while. Absolutely STUNNING on plain old DVD, so I cannot begin to imagine what DTS-MA HD will sound like.

Re: Master and Commander?
Great. I've still got that Amazon "our sympathies for buying an HD DVD player" $50 credit that's burning a hole in my pocket.
Hate to use half of it on just one disc but it's a favorite movie of mine, so there you have it.
