Where are the covers, eg? :)

I am SO looking forward to this one!!!

I wonder if Amazon will have it up for preorder before the 15th. I'm so grabbing this one.

WHV hasn't uploaded the high-res graphics to the dealer site as yet.

Hawks directed some of my favorite John Wayne movies, and Walter Brennan is worth the price of admission.

Looks like it's up for pre-order

Can't wait for this one. It's my all time favorite movie. John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickenson and Walter Brennon...great cast.

FYI... the standard DVD special edition that comes out the same day contains:

commentary by john carpenter and historian richard schickel, 2 featurettes (Commemoration and Old Tucson), The Men Who Made the Movies: Howard Hawks, John Wayne trailer gallery.

I assume this HD DVD will have the same.

Found out that there is actually three versions coming out within a few weeks of each other: Standard DVD, 2 Disc Ultimate Fan Edition, and the HD-DVD. Obviously, we want the HD-DVD, but I'm wondering what I'm missing out on the Ultimate Fan Edition, which I would classify myself.
