I ordered Blades of Glory from Amazon after Paramount switched sides to show my support for Blu-ray. Up until last night they hadn't canceled my order and my account said that it would be here Aug 30th. Well, today I got an email saying that it has been delayed until Oct. 29th. Does this exclusive deal mean that they will ship the HD-DVD copy first and then a few months later they will ship the Blu-ray version? Or is it just the fact that they have already manufactured the Blu-ray copy and don't want to flush hundreds of thousands of $$$ away. If this is true, we can only hope the same for Transformers. Anybody have the same thing happen to them?
