Today I“ve got a message from my mail-order-shop (or how it may call in english....:rolleyes:) that Warner postponed the release date of the dvd.
Does someone knows something about it?

Sheesh, I hope they didn't postpone the release..... maybe it's the German release that's been postponed?

Are these changes for the book or DVD? Cause alot of these post refer to the Hardcover book.

Unbelievable. I count this as about the third time the book release has been moved back. Any chance these dingaling publishers can pick a date and stay with it? :076:

I ran out to Best Buy and grabbed my DVD this morning...got to the check-out and there is the flippin' book!!!! The clerk said 'Oh we've had it for about a week'...WTF??? I already had placed an Amazon order and I don't have $40 to grab a second copy...but this just annoys the piss out of me. I best pop in the DVD and try to be patient for the first week of November.

Why not cancel the Amazon order? The book is such a great thing to look through right after seeing the movie. You must have way more self control than I do! :p

I'm thinking that more books were ordered than printed, and they didn't want to disappoint anyone.
That's what happened with the Wilburys album.

LRed just told me tonight that she found the book too. WTF? They've had it out for a week at your store, Conmae? Why do they jerk us around so bad? I'm calling around tomorrow and see if I can find it. I didn't see the book at my Best Buy.

I bought the DVD package today at our Best Buy but there were no books. But I've never seen a book for sale in there before anyway.
Not sure where or when I'll find a copy of the book around here. They never did sell "Conversations" around here.

There's no Best Buys in Nova Scotia, and I'm not going halfway across the country for a DVD. I arranged with an American friend for me to send a money order.

Here's someting really weird: I had pre-ordered the book back in August, and it said that the shipping date wouldn't be until Nov. 28th. I cancelled that order and re-ordered it and VOILA! now there's a ship date of October 19th!
Infu****ingcredible!!!!!

NewsFlash!: I just checked and NOW the expected ship date is Nov. 2!

I ordered my DVD from Best Buy and still haven't received it. Apparently, Best Buy uses UPS Package Tracking -- which is where BB turns the package over to UPS, who delivers the package to the POST OFFICE, and the post office actually delivers to the door. It appears that the package has been in Illinois, Ohio, and today finally reached Michigan. I have hopes I'll see it tomorrow; perhaps I'll have a private TPATH fest at my apartment tomorrow night?!

If I don't watch it tonight than definately over the weekend.
Absolutely love the packaging!
