The Departed on Blu-ray sold out quickly here in the Pikes Peak region. I have called 20 or so Bestbuys, Circuit Citys and Wal-Marts and all sold out early this morning. How are your regions doing?

It's also sold out on Amazon nationally.

Is it really a surprise?

Same here in Dallas. There are HD DVDs and DVDs in stock though.

The locations around where I am in Canada haven't even received a single copy on Blu Ray, but they have them on HD DVD.........pisses me off!

Check your local Future Shop. We had our 30 HD-DVD's come in over the weekend, but our 22 BD copies didn't arrive until an hour after we opened today. Got mine, w00t!

Thanks, I'll definitly be checking after work today.

I think I grabbed the last HD DVD off the shelf at Park/75 BB - just couldn't resist the price break on a combo. Ironically, I am waiting for my BD version to get here from Amazon.

Had a few at best buy but i got one of the last 2 at walmart supercenter in Jackson,Tenn.Rang up 24.99 but ticket on shelf had 22.99.Got it for 22 :D

I bought the last br copy at marin city bb just an hour ago.

Went to Best Buy in NYC (23rd/6th) this morning when they opened. Couldn't find "The Departed" in the Blu-ray section. I waved down a sales associate who pointed out the Blu-ray version was being displayed with the SD versions in the higher-profile "new releases" area. Picked up a copy and was on my merry way.

I checked their website this afternoon and they have already sold out.

HD DVD version was sold out at Best Buy, I bought mine online and picked it up at the store.
The Blu-ray version had about 6 on the shelf.

Best Buy store in the South Boston area (Whitey Bulger's hometown) had 1 copy left and I got it!

anyone else in the same boat?

BDs gone HD DVDs gone

0 hd dvd and 3 bd's at bb. now theres only 2 bd's

At the Georgetown BB ( Right outside of Austin ), there was about 5 BD's left and 0 HD-DVD's......... I got the last one

what'll you do with that disc when hd-dvd is gone and your old hd-dvd box goes on to that big electronic store in the sky?

I placed my order on amazon this morning (7am eastern) and it has just been shipped out, even with it saying it was not in stock. This is weird especially if people who had preorders i hear haven't even had theirs ship out. Oh well, Im happy I'll be getting mine tomorrow or thursday with amazon prime and with the extra 10% off for waiting till release date. :D

what'll you do with that disc when hd-dvd is gone and your old hd-dvd box goes on to that big electronic store in the sky? What you can't afford both formats...to bad fanboy. I won't play your game. I buy whatever I want...BD or HD DVD. Nice try!

its funny, stores around here are sold out of the BD version since early this morning, but the hd-dvd version is just sitting there collecting dust. I saw one guy return an HD-DVD copy for the regular DVD version though, he said he bought it by mistake.

Another fanboy spouting BS! They just street today, yet you speak of them collecting dust! :rolleyes: At my BB, there were only 2 HD-DVD's left after I grabbed one, and about 7 BD copies.

BTW Beatboy, I just called your local BB at N Academy Blvd At Chapel Hill
Colorado Springs, CO, and they have both versions in stock if you are looking for one. Phone # is 719-593-0414.

^^ nice burn :)

BB here in Albany, NY (Crossgates Mall) was sold out of both BD and HD-DVD versions today, and their big DVD display was looking pretty picked over as well. FYE only received the HD-DVD & had plenty of them. I got one of the last 2 BDs at Circuit City for $24.99 (sticker) even though it rang up as $29.99. It seemed like almost everyone was carrying around a copy of this movie, I bought it sight unseen, I hope it's good. :)

i just bought my copy from the torrance/ rolling hills, california circuit city. they had at least 6 or 7 left. just thought i'd let you guys know in case someone was looking for a copy.

best buy is also stocking about 3x as many copies of the blu-ray version, so its even more impressive when blu-ray is sold out.

so stores are stocking 24 blu-ray copies to 8 hd-dvd copies. when these hd-dvd fanboys see 2 hd-dvd copies and 6 blu-ray copies left, the sales ratio is acually 18-6 in blu-rays favor. game over hd-dvd.

My gosh! Man, that is the most utterly ridiculous, desperate, nonsense that I have heard spewed out of the mouth of any fanboy! :eek:

i didnt go around counting how many blu ray titles their was but it looked to be about the same as hd-dvd though

It's sold out by me...I got the last one at Wal-Mart at 11

what'll you do with that disc when hd-dvd is gone and your old hd-dvd box goes on to that big electronic store in the sky?

Same thing you do with your Blu-Ray coaster. Both formats will die someday. Hopefully later than sooner.

Got my Blu-ray copy of The Departed at Sears of all places. They had copies of both formats. It was $29.99 but it rang in at $24.99 sale price. :)

After reading through your post that doesn't surprise me one bit. Wouldn't matter what had happened you would see what you would see.

Who cares, get the hell out of this BLU-RAY software forum and spread your HD-DUD poison elsewhere.

I bought my HD-DVD online through Best Buy and when I picked up my copy, as soon as they opened, they had both stacks sitting behind the counter still and it looked as though they got more copies of the Blu-Ray. Not a bunch more but the stack was taller by about five Blu-Rays. I would say about 15 HD-DVD's and about 20 Blu-Rays. They might have had more in the back though. None on the shelf yet.

My Rosenberg, Texas BB store is sold out of BD but had HD-DUD in stock. HD-DUD fanboys feel free to call and check. 281-232-1955

Canada gets the shaft again, no blu-ray discs anywhere. Yet futureshop/bestbuy has 15-20 discs of the hd-dvd version. Why must I wait a month to get a "new" release? I guess I'm gonna start shopping online.

whats your local zip code?

~JoshWTF...Quit the BS Josh...Go to BB put in the zip code for YOUR area 80906 and almost every BB store has the Departed for in store pick up. What pisses me off about your complete BS lies is if I wanted this flick and I lived in your area and I read your BS post that all BB are out of stock in my area...I would of miss out on buying this title today. Stop this BS to help your cause for BD. Your just hurting your fellow AVS members. :mad:

As of right now in the Pikes Peaks area they are plentiful...go get your copy of The Departed in BD before they are gone. ;)

Just because the store says they have none in stock online, isn't entirely correct. Call them to verify. I saw the same thing for Lucky # Slevin at BB.com and went to the store and they had 2 copies left. Same went for Resident Evil 2 on BD. Don't let the websites get you down.

As I mentioned earlier, keep checking your Future Shop. On our staff website it said there was a BD manufacturing delay for Departed and to expect it later in the week. Our store, however, did receive our copies later on this morning. If they don't have 'em today, very likely tomorrow.

And they had more BD's than HD-DUD's! They also stated that they are selling tons more stand alone players than HD-DUD.


Go ahead and call them you HD-DUD fanboy but at least you'll have a GREAT upscaling player for playing outdated DVDs when BD's win. But one problem, all the new movies will be BD. What a shame!
