As long as you got a pristine slipcover, that is all we gotta know.

Anyone else found a glitch in the 4K Special Edition just before the cable crane from the ship lands in front of Deep Core? Just a brief pause on Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

My 2 February 24 pre-order from Amazon is scheduled for delivery today.

Cameron isn't the only Director going back and tweaking things long after the fact. 10, 20 years from now, when someone invents new technology, Cameron will probably go back and tweak Avatar. Cameron himself will likely be the one innovating and improving technology as he has already done with Avatar.

Who wants to be the one to go up to him and call him out for doing what he does?

Think those issues are either related to certain players having trouble with the layer change (this isn't new) and some discs arriving scratched up because the UHD is stacked on top of another disc.

Its very likely shipped, they just don't update order history or sent out despatch emails anymore for some reason but if you contact them directly they should be able to give you an update.

One person had some really bad issues with the SE version that he posted images of. Mine played flawlessly and I believe other reported to not have that same problem.

Played the Cameron trinity this past weekend and zero issues playing off my Panasonic 820.

I finally got one from Walmart. Ordered online, expect it to be here Thursday. Hopefully my copy won't be scratched. Do they not have this available in-store? Shows "Out of stock" everywhere around me (Chicago area) but I was able to order it to be shipped.

No they don't. Many stores have gotten rid of their physical product entirely. Time to weep.

Yep slipcover is pristine. Went straight in the bin, lol.

My UK order from Amazon US is arriving in the next hour. Was shipped last Wednesday. Waited a bloody long time for this disk but it’s almost here.

Noticed my Aliens just shipped too.

LOL. I'm the same. I have never kept one slipcover. Ever.

I'm in the same boat. That's strange that WOW HD doesn't sent dispatch emails anymore. Ordered the Conan duology on 4K in January and I got my dispatch email. Anyhow, I hope you are right.

[SirAxel]

i'm in ireland so ordered it from Amazon USA 2 weeks ago, still no update on dispatch or expected delivery date, is this movie in short supply or something????

[trespoochies]

Yes, it's actually "currently unavailable" right now on Amazon. Just stock rundown I guess.

So my friend ordered me a copy of the Abyss the same time he ordered his:
He got his (New Mexico) a few days back.
Mine (California) was cancelled by Amazon right around the day it was supposed to ship.

My copy from amazon is supposed to arrive today (originally rescheduled for 3/22), so it seems they are working through the backlog of pre-orders. I will admit that my excitement for this has been considerably lessened after watching Aliens.
