I noticed that, too. Good price with the 10% off so I pre-ordered it as well.

Ok, that's a keeper..thanks for the heads up....

Why are they still using freaking MPEG2?

thank goodness i have saved my first viewing of this movie for Blu-Ray. Yeah!

Amazon cancelled my order saying that they cannot obtain this disc. Is this delayed?

Got the same email notice...Why???

I was very disappointed with this film. It will probably be good eye candy, but story wise it just wasn't that good.

It would probably be good eye candy if it weren't MPEG2.

AMAZON just cancelled my order and you can no longer preorder it...weird.

Bestbuy.com has it advertised for May 29th release now. Wonder if this is an accurate date.

Yes, it is an accurate date. May 29 it is, alongside Season 1 of Weeds, which makes it a nice BD day indeed.

Also, why do people bash mpeg-2 transfers so much? Granted Talladega was lame, and I've heard about the issues with very early discs like Fifth Element and House of Flying Daggers, but I've also seen some absolute gorgeous ones: MI3, Babel, Crank, Kingdom of Heaven, and Monster House immediately come to mind. In fact, MI3, World Trade Center, and Babel have all matched their VC-1 (AVC in the case of Babel) counterparts on HD-DVD with near-identical PQ. These have all looked very good, and I might go as far as to say the POP of some VC-1 transfers, notably Warner ones, tend to sometimes make the picture look a little unnatural and overly colorful. Not all, mind you, as Paramount and Universal VC-1 transfers look amazing, and The Departed looked very nice for the most part, but come on, don't tell me Beerfest wasn't a little cartoony looking, or that Superman Returns wasn't incredibly dull in presentation.

Bottom line, all three codecs are capable of astounding PQ, so can we jump off the bandwagon of bashing mpeg-2 for no good reason other than a few bad apples?

you make a good point...i'm not an expert, but because of all the comments, i also did not like buying discs thsat were mpeg-2 (or BD-25), but monster house was REALLY good....

I would tend to agree, MPEG2 doesn't automatically mean the quality is going to be less than stellar.

MPEG2 on 50gb can look terrific.
