Time to relive my youth with Punky S4 and Smurfs S1V1 this week (both already on their way to me).
And I'll wait for cheaper prices on 30 Days of Night Blu and Beowulf HD (unless I can snag it at H'wood Video for 2/$20). I'm waiting on the eventual double-dip for Darjeeling.
Thanks, I can't remember the last time (if ever) that CC had a sale on new release Hi Def movies. In fact, I don't think I have ever purchased one from them yet and I've had both formats for almost a year now. Looks like I will pick up JL if that price holds. Beowulf, @ $29.99 will be a rental until the price drops happen.
unless the ad explicitly says/shows the fullscreen, I usually go to the check out and when the full price rings up, I show them the ad and ask them to correct it. They usually look confused and either give it to me right away or call a manager who usually gives it to me. Or I go to best buy and ask for a price match and they give it to me.
If they have any my CC never stocks new HD releases on Day and date
The Quality of Warner's DTV Animated releases is so all over the board that this wil definately be a rental, probably unfortunately in SD , since it's near impossible to rent New release Blu ray movies

I believe the HD-DVD version comes out 2 weeks after the standard and Blu versions... Warner's new policy. Stock may have been in earlier though, so maybe a slight mistake that Amazon has shipped it.
This is a regular release, Nick. I have to believe it'll be double dipped at some point. As for with Criterion or not...DL was a Fox release while Life Aquatic, Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore are all Buena Vista titles. Has Criterion ever been able to license and release a Fox movie?
I know they've done some of Fox's film noirs from 1940's but I don't think they've done anything current. And as good as The Darjeeling Limited was, it didn't really set the box office on fire so I don't know if Fox is going to be all that interested in re-releasing it any time soon. About the only thing I think that may be coming is a Blu Ray release (and since they didn't release it now, even that's probably aways off).
