what is going on with warner titles for pre-order on AMAZON ?

[mredman]

you can't pre-order any of them anymore. Nikita season 4 had the same thing and right up to the release date it became available for pre-order. Now its True Blood s6, Person of interest s3,true detective ect..

very weird

Interesting... perhaps a dispute between Warner and Amazon? The Same thing happened a few years back with Nintendo and Amazon. To this day Amazon still doesn't carry Nintendo's products itself, Only 3rd party sellers list them.

One member contacted them, and they said they're waiting for inventory confirmations. There was a point when even WBShop took down all pre-orders too. This is on Warner's side.

Definitely not the first time and won't be the last.

So it was news material on warners site. Wonder whats going on and why they have inventory problems. Hope this gets fixed soon

EDIT: there seem to be no problems on amazon uk or amazon.de

Exactly, Amazon might not get all Nintendo products on day 1 delivery as that wasn't an option with Zelda HD but Amazon directly sells thousands of Nintendo products and has been for years.

Amazon.com has stopped taking DVD preorders for upcoming Warner Bros. Home Video releases, including the studio’s recent hit “The Lego Movie,” as the companies wrangle over contract terms.

Pages on Amazon for several Warners DVD titles — “The Lego Movie” (set to release on Blu-ray and DVD June 17); “300: Rise of an Empire” (June 24); “Winter’s Tale” (June 24); and “Transcendence” (July 22) — no longer offer customers an option to purchase them. The pages include the message: “Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available.”

The standoff appears similar to Amazon’s public fight with Hachette Book Group, with the ecommerce giant delaying shipments of the publisher’s titles by up to four weeks and not taking preorders. Hachette last week announced it was laying off 3% of its employees as the dispute with Amazon drags on.

Amazon stopped taking preorders for Warner Bros. DVDs in mid-May, according to the New York Times, which reported on the dispute Tuesday.

They area strong arming TW for more money by using this tactic much in the same way they are squeezing book publishers for more money. Simple as that.
