Children of The Corn Aug or now?

[blukrank]

Hey I spotted The Children of The Corn Blu-Ray at The Best Buy in Quincy IL. I was surprised to see it there as its not sopposed to be out untill Aug.But I guess The Best Buy in Quincy did not get the memo. No I did not get it.Sorry to say.Did not have mutch money on me when I was in there. Best Buy wanted $24.95 for it and I only had $20.00 on me. Well now I have been paid and I'm planing on running back over there and getting it.That is if there not sold out by now?

It's a Best Buy exclusive until August. The full report, courtesy of High Def Disc News:

Anchor Bay (A Starz Company) has informed us as of yesterday that they have plans to release the “Children of the Corn” Blu-ray Disc EXCLUSIVELY (for roughly a 2 month period) at retail giant Best Buy starting on June 30th, 2009. The title will not be available elsewhere, such as Amazon until August 25th, 2009. We are under an embargo and can’t bring you the review until the Best Buy street date. So, expect our review next week! If you don’t care to wait a few months, as I mentioned earlier the title is going to be available at other retailers on 8/25 such as Amazon.com where there is already a PRE-ORDER listing with a $18.49 price tag. Also, please note that this is only going to be released at physical Best Buy retail stores and will not be available to order on their website until August 25th.

Ok thats what is is then.Just like The James Bond deal they did a couple months ago.
Yeah I also notised a lot of movies was on sale today.Gush if I had tons of money on me I would of walked out of there with a ton of movies.
Dont know why I go into these stores when I hardly have any cash on me?Everytime I do thats when I see plenty of goodies that I want.

Strange choice of a title to have exclusive via Best Buy like that.

Yeah, why delay people from buying it at other retailers or online? It's a 25 year old catalog title...

I feel bad for Anchor Bay since they used to have so many interesting catalog titles that are now with other distributors like Blue Underground.

Hopefully Best Buy has it priced decently, I haven't seen Children of Corn since I was a kid, I was planning on seeing it again on BLU.

Best Buy.com website states a Aug 25th release date yet if you do a in stock store check most stores in my area say they have it in stock either on the shelf or ready to sale on their date of the 30th.

although the Best Buy site has the price listed at 24.99 so looks like they aren't doing the cheaper pre-order price at this time. It coudl change around the 30th however. You never know with Best Buy.

I wonder if there will be any exclusives with this release at BB (other than 2 months earlier)?

Might be a great catalog title, especially since it's a 25th anniversary edition.

There don't appear to be any BB exclusives on the disc.

We received a review copy already and will have the review posted next week.

Never saw this film before but a trailer for it showed on my Hills have Eyes Blu-ray and it looked pretty good.

So it's pretty much a slasher film with kids?. How was the blu pq?.
