bassmonkeee 03-08-08, 10:34 AM How bout all the people that were invoved with HD DVD, thats who! Does Toshiba ring a bell? Please tell me you're kidding. Seriously. Lodef 03-08-08, 11:55 AM Please tell me you're kidding. Seriously. Whats so hard to understand or don't you want to understand? xb1032 03-08-08, 12:10 PM Well if they do have a limited amount of titles available and you are the lucky ones who get it maybe you'll have a collector's item on your hands some day ;). TrueHD 03-08-08, 12:11 PM No Longer available at Deep Discount as of this morning! Don't look like it will happen! p.s. this movie REALLY SUCKED anyway! I was forced to sit through it with my kids. What a complete waste of time. We're not missing anything here, believe me! If anyone still had this sitting in your cart at deepdiscount, you can still checkout. I just did it. At worst I'll get a cancellation email, but who knows, maybe I'll get lucky like those people with Blu-rays of Blades of Glory. mike171979 03-08-08, 12:13 PM The fact that NO ONE got a shipping confirmation yet, pretty much means it ain't happening. A lot of internet retailers ship the thursday or friday before the official tuesday release date, A LOT. Even Amazon ships on Friday sometimes. But since NO ONE has shipped it, that means no one has gotten it yet, and if you didn't get it by Friday, that means your not getting it. mike171979 03-08-08, 12:17 PM And here is another fact to consider. I've read multiple reports from multiple stores, that they received the Bee Movie on SD DVD, and they looked through the box and found no HD DVD. That means, the only way anyone is getting the HD DVD version, is if Paramount sends out a seperate box of just HD DVDs the monday before the release date. LOL LOL LOL Shmack 03-08-08, 12:26 PM Some naysayers seem way too invested in this. Why should anyone who did not order this title care whether an HD DVD owner's order for this movie is filled? webdev511 03-08-08, 12:43 PM Some naysayers seem way too invested in this. Why should anyone who did not order this title care whether an HD DVD owner's order for this movie is filled? They aren't going to go away until after Warner has released it's last title, well probably not even then, but I'll be too busy watching my catalog to care. At least we'll have a definitive answer on Bee Movie soon enough. DCSholtis 03-08-08, 01:12 PM Pre ordered last night from hidefdvd.com. We'll soon see. Newbie 03-08-08, 01:41 PM How bout all the people that were invoved with HD DVD, thats who! Does Toshiba ring a bell? So you are actually offering - not as a joke - the opinion that this won't be released by Paramount for Dreamworks Animation because people at Toshiba will be embarassed that it will be the top selling HDM for a couple of days? You REALLY think that makes a difference in the scheme of things where they lost hundreds of millions of dollars? HD-DVD is not and never was anywhere close to being financially viable. It was an absolute DISASTER for Toshiba. And one title selling well for a week isn't going to change that. It won't be released - assuming it isn't - because Toshiba isn't paying Paramount or Dreamworks to release it. That's why they released on HD in the first place. Not because it was profitable in its own right.

DjfunkmasterG 03-08-08, 03:02 PM Why do people keep pointing to this article? we know it has been published. The fact is, until I get an cancellation email from Amazon I am assuming this will show up. nohkul 03-08-08, 03:24 PM Why do people keep pointing to this article? we know it has been published. The fact is, until I get an cancellation email from Amazon I am assuming this will show up. What we REALLY need is one more post from another person who talked to someone at a B&M which isn't getting the HD DVD version of Bee Movie to tell us that there's no way it's coming from Amazon. :rolleyes: Amazon has had a week since they pulled it off their site to cancel the order. Until I get a cancellation e-mail from Amazon, I'm also assuming it will show up. Julian Lalor 03-08-08, 03:32 PM Paramount had no trouble ditching Blu-Ray titles already pressed, so I don't see wht DreamWorks won't follow the same route with this title on HD DVD. My order was cancelled from DVD Pacific on Friday, and they only ever cancel when the title is withdrawn completely for sale. Newbie 03-08-08, 06:13 PM Folks can assume it will show up, just like they could assume HD was going to continue after the Hollywood Reporter reported it was dead but before Toshiba confirmed it. No law against hope, after all! The most likely outcome though, is that all the reporting from different sources is correct and the title was indeed cancelled. Myself, I'd rather be wrong and end up being pleasantly surprised if it's released than being wrong AND disappointed that it's cancelled. But even if I was HD exclusive I really wouldn't care. Movie's worth a rental at most, IMO, definitely not a purchase. In any format. rsigley 03-08-08, 07:14 PM i ordered 4 of the 3/11 releases from fye.com all shipped today except for bee movie :( still hasn't been canceled yet though so still holding out hope 30XS955 User 03-08-08, 07:29 PM Poor, poor Bee Movie. chris0 03-08-08, 09:25 PM I'm surprised that no one's made a joke yet about people getting stung by this whole thing. How is that possible? Geaux Tigers 03-08-08, 10:36 PM I'm surprised that no one's made a joke yet about people getting stung by this whole thing. How is that possible?

Believe what you want and so will I. seean54 03-08-08, 10:59 PM It can't bee that good, it is just a bee movie... RaginCajun92 03-08-08, 11:55 PM my friend got a cancellation email today from Amazon for Bee Movie :( Sad thing, that copy was for me as a gift. Was looking forward to this. Hope it hits BD soon. fitprod 03-09-08, 04:03 AM my friend got a cancellation email today from Amazon for Bee Movie :( Sad thing, that copy was for me as a gift. Was looking forward to this. Hope it hits BD soon. It going to be a rough morning for those holding out hope. fitprod rodzm 03-09-08, 08:19 AM I still havent received a cancellation notice from DVD Pacific so i take it it is still shipping (fingers crossed) Newbie 03-09-08, 10:47 AM Public Perception? Deception? Reputation? How much are those worth to some companies, I think you know the answer. Believe what you want and so will I. Yes, the difference is, what I believe will be grounded in reality. Newbie 03-09-08, 10:52 AM I still havent received a cancellation notice from DVD Pacific so i take it it is still shipping (fingers crossed) If Amazon isn't selling it, it's not for sale. No one, anywhere, has reported seeing a copy of this movie, getting a shipping notice for this movie or anything else to indicate it might possibly be released. I would say that peace breaking out in Iraq, a Martian invasion and living dinosaurs returning to Montana through a rift in time and space are all MUCH more likely to happen on Tuesday than Bee Movie being released on HD-DVD. 1080please 03-09-08, 11:08 AM If Amazon isn't selling it, it's not for sale.

I would say that peace breaking out in Iraq, a Martian invasion and living dinosaurs returning to Montana through a rift in time and space are all MUCH more likely to happen on Tuesday than Bee Movie being released on HD-DVD. Why can't you give the benefit of the doubt and wait and see what happeneds after Tuesday? Why be(e) so sure about it? I mean you must admit it is rather strange that a couple of retailers are keeping customers orders open, Amazon has my order open with it still posted having an estimate arrival of 3-13. When Paramount canned "Blades of Glory" for Blu did this same thing happen with peoples pre-orders or were they all cancelled immediatedly??? Newbie 03-09-08, 11:31 AM Who or what would I be giving the benefit of the doubt to? The title has been reported as cancelled by reputable sources, and it hasn't been denied. Thinking this movie is coming out is less realistic than making your retirement plans contingent on winning the lottery, if less likely to end in disaster. I don't believe in taking things on faith. I take them on evidence. And the fact that some retailers haven't gotten around to cancelling orders is not evidence that this cancelled movie is going to be miraculously shipped to a handful of people. Lodef 03-09-08, 11:31 AM Yes, the difference is, what I believe will be grounded in reality. Unless you are directly involved in the decision making process with the parties involved, I don't think you will ever really know that. ;) 1080please 03-09-08, 12:03 PM Who or what would I be giving the benefit of the doubt to?

And the fact that some retailers haven't gotten around to cancelling orders is not evidence that this cancelled movie is going to be miraculously shipped to a handful of people. Right now as it stands it's been a week since Amazon pulled "Bee movie" for sale... Right now anyone who pre-ordered it STILL has their order showing that It will be shipped. Deep Discount just pulled it a couple of days ago and shows the order as "Processing" I am not saying It will show up but I will give the benefit of the doubt that It may. When "Jack Ryan" was recalled some people managed to snag it... When "Blades of Glory" BD was cancelled .. a couple of people snaged it. Evidence? Well we all know pretty much that these discs were pressed and retailers had kept this title up for pre-order weeks after Paramount stated it was canceled while all the other titles mention canceled were removed immediatedly, So yes I do believe it may arrive. bassmonkeee 03-09-08, 12:06 PM Evidence? Well we all know pretty much that these discs were pressed and retailers had keept this title up for pre-order weeks after Paramount stated it was canceled while all the other titles mention canceled were removed immediatedly, So yes I do beleive it may arrive. How do you "pretty much know" the discs have been pressed? 1080please 03-09-08, 12:12 PM How do you "pretty much know" the discs have been pressed? Well considering that they announced the cancelation of this title 2 weeks before it's release date should give ya a clue:rolleyes: Blasst 03-09-08, 01:17 PM Lets not get this thread shutdown.

They are already made so they might as well use them. Otherwise it will prbably be a long wait for it to come out on BD, and by then I probably won't buy it until it drops below $15.

DeathKnight 03-10-08, 10:11 AM What I want to know is why some people are dead set on insisting this title isn't coming out on HD DVD at all (ie. no one is going to get it)? Why do you care? jwebb1970 03-10-08, 11:02 AM What I want to know is why some people are dead set on insisting this title isn't coming out on HD DVD at all (ie. no one is going to get it)? Why do you care? Some just want the death of HD DVD to be FINAL, I guess. According to a poster over @ HighDefForum, a BestBuy mgr confirmed that they will have BEE MOVIE HD DVDs on shelf when released. Guess it is coming? Take it for what it's worth. Likely wouldn't buy it myself, though. My daughter saw it in the theater & liked it. If purchased for her, it'll be the SD DVD. EDIT: According to another post over @ HighDefForum, a member there claims that Canadian BestBuy & FutureShop B&Ms have the HD DVD version in store (althogh not supposed to sell 'em until tomorrow). Since I am nowhere near Canada, I cannot confirm. Any of our northern neighbors here who can verify?

No It's more like common sense.:rolleyes: bassmonkeee 03-10-08, 12:25 PM No It's more like common sense.:rolleyes: Whatever works for you. You think they should have been pressed by now, so obviously they were. I guess that's the same common sense that dictates the movie is still coming out since it still shows up for pre-order from a couple of online retailers, yet discounts that not a single person who works at a brick and mortar store mentioned they got any copies on HD-DVD, even though the SD versions have arrived. I think we have different ideas on the meaning of "common sense." Looking forward to another :rolleyes: from you, though. mt-parker 03-10-08, 12:39 PM some of these are showing up on ebay, so what gives wil this be a collectors item or something if you find one? soremekun 03-10-08, 12:40 PM The 2 Amazon sites referenced above are now dead links and the other sites still say preorder and not "In Stock".

I assume you know there is a lead time for movies and typically 2 weeks from release the discs are pressed and packaged to be shipped? So it is very likely these are ready to go. This is very similar to what Paramount did with Blades of Glory on Blu Ray. Based on that cancelled title it is likely these were pressed and a handful of people will be receiving them. DCSholtis 03-10-08, 02:39 PM The 2 Amazon sites referenced above are now dead links and the other sites still say preorder and not "In Stock". hidefdvd.com said to give it a few days they had not been officially informed yet but they had heard the rumors too about it being canceled. iceperson 03-10-08, 02:44 PM I assume you know there is a lead time for movies and typically 2 weeks from release the discs are pressed and packaged to be shipped?

Newbie 03-10-08, 02:55 PM some of these are showing up on ebay, so what gives wil this be a collectors item or something if you find one? I can't find any listings for Bee Movie in HD-DVD on ebay. Snickering Hound 03-10-08, 03:00 PM I can't find any listings for Bee Movie in HD-DVD on ebay. I see 2 listings...Don't know how genuine they are: Newbie 03-10-08, 03:02 PM So much talk about this release long after it was pulled. Was this movie this good?? IMO definitely not. If you have kids who love it, that's another matter, but it's not up there with a number of other recent animated movies. I can't see myself buying it on Blu-ray either. sunnysky 03-10-08, 03:11 PM Not a great movie. I'd pay $10. No more. Then again, it's sure to be a $100 seller on Ebay, as it'll be more rare than Equilibrium (which fetched $96 on ebay this weekend). Newbie 03-10-08, 03:11 PM I see 2 listings...Don't know how genuine they are: I was signed in through ebay.ca. I tried ********* and see them now. Both from the same vendor, who has been a member since 2002 and has a 100% positive feedback rating. I'm assuming the vendor pre-ordered from his supplier and assumes they will be coming in. If there's a situation of a few having been pressed and slipped out to him, in his position I'd hang on. He's already got bids above list price. They'd be worth much more in a couple of days. webdev511 03-10-08, 03:30 PM Not a great movie. I'd pay $10. No more. Then again, it's sure to be a $100 seller on Ebay, as it'll be more rare than Equilibrium (which fetched $96 on ebay this weekend). :eek: I paid less than that for Equilibrium & Afro Samurai shipped from Japan. sl@cker 03-10-08, 04:14 PM deepdiscount.com emailed me with a confirmation that Bee Movie HD DVD is cancelled.. 30XS955 User 03-10-08, 04:35 PM Is Paramount going to ship a few copies of Bee Movie to the "Will it blend" guy, just to rub it in our faces? aod 03-10-08, 04:50 PM I posted this in another forum I belong to, but applies here also. I went to Fry's today to pick up a few HD DVD's and asked the manager in the media department if they were going to be getting Bee Movie on HD DVD tomorrow and he said "No, it is showing a "V" status, which means it was recalled". Then I asked him if they had physically received it before it was recalled and he said "Yes". I asked him one more time to be sure on HD DVD and he said "Yes, it was physically in store, but we sent it back to the manufacturer". Take it for what it's worth, but the guy seemed to know what he was talking about with both formats. I for one will be on the hunt for one tomorrow. munciefan 03-10-08, 05:05 PM Amazon lists it on the new and notables for the HD DVD page, but with no working link. Lodef 03-10-08, 05:22 PM Well with Toshiba out of the picture and if it is true that these are already pressed and being recalled from stores, that can only leave one party who would have vested interest to not want titles such as this to be released and who could still use it's influence on the studios, does anyone care to make a guess on who that might be? mmccking 03-10-08, 05:40 PM S O N Y Richard Paul 03-10-08, 05:44 PM Well with Toshiba out of the picture and if it is true that these are already pressed and being recalled from stores, that can only leave one party who would have vested interest to not want titles such as this to be released and who could still use it's influence on the studios, does anyone care to make a guess on who that might be?Dreamworks Animation? After all if they released the HD DVD version of Bee Movie it might end up selling at firesale prices later on so in my opinion if anyone decided not to release it they probably did. And if you don't believe that could happen just take a look on Amazon to see how much the HD DVD version of American Gangster is selling for less than a month after release. munciefan 03-10-08, 05:46 PM Well with Toshiba out of the picture and if it is true that these are already pressed and being recalled from stores, that can only leave one party who would have vested interest to not want titles such as this to be released and who could still use it's influence on the studios, does anyone care to make a guess on who that might be? communist sympathizers?

I asked the seller (ebay message) if he actually had this HD-DVD in hand. Did not receive a reply before the auction ended (still haven't). loganhunter2002 03-10-08, 06:14 PM MTV has promised me that they are planning to ship it on the release date. I hope it's true. tahustvedt 03-10-08, 06:15 PM I pre-ordered it a while ago and have not heard anything from Amazon yet. It still says that the estimated delivery date is march 11. Newbie 03-10-08, 06:19 PM I asked the seller (ebay message) if he actually had this HD-DVD in hand. Did not receive a reply before the auction ended (still haven't). LOL! I did exactly the same thing with exactly the same results. I wonder how many other people did. munciefan 03-10-08, 06:32 PM If a few of us do end up getting it, it will be Gold guys, Pure Gold!

I still say 99% no go, but I would like to be wrong. DeathKnight 03-10-08, 06:47 PM My Fletch preorder shipped out today from Amazon. Bee Movie is still in my orders though with an estimated delivery date of the 13th (I have 2-day shipping), so we'll see if they ship it out tomorrow. This thing is going to be a rare collector's item if people wind up getting their hands on it. DCSholtis 03-10-08, 06:50 PM My Fletch came today from DeepDiscount, my Bee Movie is still in pre order status from HiDefDVD.com. I contacted them to find out what the deal was and they told me to give it a few more days as they have yet to be notified of a cancellation. Geaux Tigers 03-10-08, 06:55 PM Kramer told me he talked to Elaine who talked to George who talked to Jerry who talked to Dreamworks who talked to some kid in the mail room who said that Newman would be delivering our copies of The Bee Movie on HD DVD soon. Take this for what it worth for now. Newbie 03-10-08, 07:00 PM My Fletch came today from DeepDiscount Release date isn't until tomorrow.

If The Bee Movie HD DVDs have been made (as it definitely seems like) then it's in Dreamwork's best interest to release it otherwise there'll be pirate (HD) copies all over the internet! :eek: yrly 03-10-08, 09:53 PM For what its worth, local walmart puts the stickers up for Tuesday releases on Monday. Bee Movie's sticker was there with $29.96 as a retail. I'll stop there tomorrow because I'm assuming they'll put it out if it was actually pressed. xb1032 03-10-08, 09:59 PM For what its worth, local walmart puts the stickers up for Tuesday releases on Monday.

If Wal-Mart actually has this it will be out in about an hour on the East Coast. yrly 03-10-08, 10:13 PM If Wal-Mart actually has this it will be out in about an hour on the East Coast. Anyone near enough to a Supercenter to find out? Most of the Wal-Marts immediately around here are not. If anyone is around the corner from one (IE closer than I am) and cares to stop in and find out, I could always take the 30 minute round trip to get a few copies if they did for anyone interested. Newbie 03-10-08, 10:14 PM If Wal-Mart actually has it, the person who paid $99 just now on ebay is going to be one angry dude! Corellianrogue, I can't pretend to know why it's in a studio's interest to pull something that's already been pressed, but I would assume they know some copies would leak out and it's not a matter of major concern. There are pirated (720p) copies of virtually all HD and Blu-ray discs out there, and 1080p copies of many of them, so releasing it certainly wouldn't cut down on piracy.

I know but if they don't sell it on HD DVD and 1080P copies get on the internet and there's no Blu-Ray version for the forseeable future then more people will be tempted to download it and Dreamworks will lose a lot more sales than they usually do due to piracy. (I personally don't think sales are effected that much by piracy normally as people who really want to buy movies will still buy them, plus as far as I know you don't get extras with pirate copies. I've never heard of HDi and PIP being copied anyway.) By not offering it for sale on HD DVD they're almost saying "It's OK, go ahead and download the HD version of The Bee Movie." Lol! xb1032 03-10-08, 10:25 PM Anyone near enough to a Supercenter to find out? Most of the Wal-Marts immediately around here are not.

I called a Supercenter in my area and they don't have it in HD DVD. Newbie 03-10-08, 10:30 PM I've seen full disc images online, but you'd have to be pretty patient to download a full hd or bd. I don't have a burner, but from what I've seen of blank media prices, buying a movie on sale seems like a much better investment of time and money!
