Changing release dates

[NutsAboutPS3]

This is driving me nuts!!!!!

Why can't they just set a release schedule and stick to it? Why do we have to put up with titles being listed as coming on a particular date then right at the last minute it becomes clear they aren't going to appear?

I was really looking forward to getting Bruce Almighty on Monday, but on play.com the release date has now moved to 6th August.

Okay, I've got used to it now, and I try not to get my hopes up and only assume a title will be released when it's actually in stock, but it's still really annoying!

What is it about Blu-ray that means they can't stick to schedules? I've never heard of this happening with DVDs.

Perhaps it's just that Blu-rays are selling so well that they can't replicate enough discs and they'd rather wait till they've replicated enough to meet demand before releasing
