No where in Toronto either. Really pissed too since this was my favorite film of last year and was hyped to watch it tonight. Watched Happy Feet instead. Just doesn't fill the gaping hole in my heart. :(

Amazon.com is your friend.

Seriously I stopped trying to find new HD DVD releases in B&M stores in canada about 6 months ago.

I agree, Amazon.com is often the least expensive, even for us Canucks.

...the price was pretty close to AZN, so I decided to wait...got Happy Feet, and can confirm that even the FS warehouse shows zero in stock - on ordered showed a somewhat measly twelve...

Loved the film in theatres, of course, and may just add it to an AZN order (got my Blu-Rays today as well that I ordered during the 50% off sale - big day for discs!)

FWIW, I waited a very long time to see Bullit show up in BD here (the price was actually cheaper here than AZN). In other words, most things do usually show up in time, but it seems to be a mixed bag as to what shows up day-and-date.

Let me know if you guys find the disc, k? :)

God forbid Universal should want to make money and release this thing on time.

Yep - that's how most of my purchases have been made, lately. Every once and a while FS will have something competitively priced (like T2 on BD for the same price as Amazon), but then they have the $54.95 Smokin' Aces. At amazon it's only 27.95USD - you can basically get two for the price of one... :cool:

It seems almost ALL of Universal's recent releases haven't been showing up here until a week later, so I'm going to be looking for it next week.

I'm guessing it's a placeholder price for pre-order, cause Children of Men was also listed at 49.99 CAD or something like that before its release.

My local Wal-Mart has all Universal combo format at 39.99 a pop. And they're wondering why it's not selling...

My Futureshop in brampton got copies in later yesterday (as did the Dixie and Dundas Futureshop).

37.99 was the price.

Apparently my local FS is getting stock today, but now the price is back to $54.99. Grrr... They only had the $37.99 for the first couple days, but it wasn't even in the stores!

Exactly my problem. I can't even order off of Amazon com now since they're out of stock. I'm getting frustrated trying to get a copy of this movie, it was one of my favourites of 2006.

The only hope is that since they now have it listed as a pre-order for release on April 4th, maybe they'll price it back to $37.99 then.
