The message from Amazon was not enough interest. I was upset.

Is this seriously cancelled? Because of lack of interest?

I'm pissed off. Been checking for a preorder price for weeks now, and it was one of my most anticipated catalog releases in quite some time.

Me too. I emailed Sony Home Entertainment to inquire further with no response. I'm going to continue to contact them (politely) to try and persuade them to do something with the film on blu-ray (MOD, Twilight Time, etc).

But is that an Amazon-specific issue (I'm not aware of a precedent for Amaz gauging possible sales based on pres and then not stocking something if whatever threshold is not met) or is there a larger SPHE issue?

Although stranger things have happened with (alleged) releases that then didn't happen, I doubt SPHE would release artwork and a street date to e-tail and then not release something that has to have been mastered already. Pres are still up at BB and Walmart.

I emailed Sony. Their response was the following:

"We currently do not have any information about the availability of the title, Higher Learning, in Blu-Ray. Please stay tuned to*http://www.sonypictures.com/*or the website*http://www.imdb.com/*for additional information regarding upcoming Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases."
