Troy, Alexander, Smallville - copies already at stores - Blu-ray Forum

Moretonbay · 09-14-2007, 04:32 PM

I just wanted to let everyone know this is a nationwide problem with all the distributors and the retailers.

While some other blu-ray's have been rec'd already We Are Marshall.

These should have been shipped a few days ago to all retailers nationwide but Warner is not giving any specific information as to what the delay is.
Warner is claiming that their system is "locked up" and therefore can not give out any tracking information or ETA to any of the distributors. What i keep hearing back from my reps is they were expecting it at the latest yesterday or today. As of this morning none of the above titles have been rec'd by any of the distributors. There is some talk that i've heard about a push back to 10/2 but until i hear that from my distributors I'm still expecting a release date of Tuesday as long as they receive all the shipments by this afternoon. I will keep everyone updated as I hear back from everyone.

Sorry about this

I wouldn't worry about this. At the worst, the will be a few days late. At the best, they are indeed on the way and there is just an error in their system with tracking, etc.

I sure hope it's not delayed. I personally don't care about Alexander or Smallville, but I was looking forward to Troy on BD on the 18th.

Moretonbay · 09-14-2007, 04:55 PM

I'm not really worried at this point but apparently some online retailers have already pushed the release date for Troy to 10/2

It is going to take more than one day to end this format war. The best thing to do is keep buying the releases when you want, not waiting for a single day. That being said I am getting The Departed and FF Spirits Within that day.

Manco · 09-14-2007, 05:39 PM

Sounds like a backlog at the pressing facilities due to the large ramp up for Q4 deliveries.

Yeah but if they are delayed it puts a serious damper on our buy-a-thon day. Close to 600 members with less titles to choose from.

Is there a version of Troy not starring Brad Pitt because the one with him in it I hated? Especially since I bought it on DVD without ever seeing it. If there wasn't a hole in the middle, I'd be using the disc as a drink coaster...

In all seriousness, can you tell me something positive about that movie? All I saw was Brad Pitt's character acting like a spoiled prick.

Of course, I'm on the other side of the fence disappointed with the potential delay of Smallville.

You are not alone in that feeling, seems a fair number of people don't like it. Personally I loved the movie. Brad Pitts' character was Achilles, and was supposed to be all bad ass. I dunno, to each his own. I'll be buying it for sure.

u_nick · 09-14-2007, 05:12 PM

I enjoyed Troy enough.

But back on topic, last week by this time, Amazon had already put my PSP into the 'shipping soon' category. I was wondering why Smallville wasnt in that category this morning, perhaps this is the reason.

I dont really mind though. As longas it wasnt cancelled, and I know we'll get it soon, I'll be happy.

Actually, it IS the other version of Troy that everyone is talking about.

MasterXeus · 09-14-2007, 05:20 PM

I preorder Troy and Smallville from Warner. I hope they fix the problem soon.

Did you get Deliverance yet? That's another Warner title with a 9/18 release date.

I am thinking this falls into the same boat as Troy as I didn't have that ship today either.

Are these just the BDs, or are the HD DVDs being delayed as well?

I bought the Troy HD DVD @ best buy last night, it did not have a tag on it.. but they sold it to me anyway.

I guess it was not supposed to be on the shelf yet.
I am kind of bummed.. I thought it was HD DVD exclusive because I had not seen it on BR disc yet. I would have waited til tuesday and grabbed the BR if I had known it was coming.

It's the director's cut that comes out Tuesday. The theatrical cut of Troy was released on HD-DVD long ago...

marine92104 · 09-15-2007, 10:58 PM

Does anyone know the confirmed audio specs for the Troy: Director's Cut Blu-ray?

I can't find confirmed audio specs anywhere. I know the HD DVD has a Dolby TrueHD track but can't find the confirmed Blu-ray audio specs.
