Paramount preparing for switch on Amazon.UK?

I was browsing through the UK Blu-ray section, and I noticed a couple titles up for pre-order that caught me by surprise:

Anchorman [Blu-ray]

You Save: £6.25 (25%)

Coming to America [Blu-ray]

RRP: £24.99
Price: £18.74 & this item Delivered FREE in the UK with Super Saver Delivery. See details and conditions
You Save: £6.25 (25%)
Availability: This title will be released on March 10, 2008. Pre-order now! Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk.

Trading Places [Blu-ray]

RRP: £24.99
Price: £18.74 & this item Delivered FREE in the UK with Super Saver Delivery. See details and conditions
You Save: £6.25 (25%)
Availability: This title will be released on March 10, 2008. Pre-order now! Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk.

Now, to the best of my knowledge, neither "Trading Places" nor "Coming to America" were ever offered on Blu-ray (or HD DVD, for that matter) in the UK like they were in the US. I do know that "Anchorman" was an HD DVD exclusive here. Just to make sure, I double-checked, and these titles are Paramount releases in the UK as well, so this isn't like "Beowulf", which is a Warner release (and therefore includes region-free Blu-ray) in the UK.

So, that leaves us with a bit of a mystery: Is Paramount (or at least Paramount UK) planning to release Blu-ray again? Frankly, IMO the more likely explanation is that Amazon just mislabeled a couple pre-orders, but with all the rumors floating around, it's just too juicy to pass up. Regardless, I added "Anchorman" to my "Beowulf" pre-order to see what happens. Here's to hoping...
