According to TT on FB, these two new listings aren't theirs but Fox's. And they aren't limited, just exclusives.

Arkadin · 03-14-2012, 11:07 PM

yeah a little confusion initially, but it's all straight now.

Kwyjibo · 03-15-2012, 06:34 PM

I e-mailed Screen Archives regarding the exclusivity of this title. They confirmed that "after time" the title will be made available elsewhere. The exact amount of time given wasn't detailed, but this is good news as the price will surely go down once other online and B&M stores have it.

Arkadin · 03-15-2012, 09:53 PM

now SAE has put up the wide release date and it's only a few months later.
6/5/12.
certainly nothing close to "a year" exclusivity.
I think I regret pre-ordering now.

never mind, I get a magnet.

Deke Rivers · 03-28-2012, 01:33 PM

and they already charged my credit card-think im going to cancel this as I dont see how this blu ray is going to be any better than the dvd

not trying to criticize, but why would you possibly say this?

absolutely. This one should look and sound incredible compared to the DVD.

"Did you say.. dance?"

Tin Drum · 03-28-2012, 02:25 PM

Barring image/sound quality - I will be picking this up when it goes wide. One of my favorite novels and favorite films.

It just sounded like Screen Archives is just releasing a Fox issue and not giving it their own treatment..like Mysterious Island or Fright Night ..
I could be wrong..just my opinion as i dont see anything in the description saying anything to the contrary..same extras as dvd as well
either way ill wait until others sell it at a cheaper price..

I feel sorry for anyone who's paying premium through Screen Archives. You can pre-order this right now from Fox Connect for $17 shipped using the code FOXREG. Same with Grapes of Wrath

The link goes to Fox Connect but does not point to Zorba the Greek. I did a search on their website and only the old Studio Classics DVD is found.

Do you need to be a logged-in member to see it?

Arkadin · 03-29-2012, 01:54 AM

must be something wrong with your browser. the link does go to Zorba.

EDIT: wow, now I can't get it to work. that is really weird. I mean, it was just working fine, going right to the pre-order page for Zorba, now it says "page not found"
have no idea what is going on.

Apparently, yes.

EDIT: Can't order them, though. They disappear from the cart.

ssjmichael · 03-29-2012, 05:12 AM

It seems like after I posted the link for this and Grapes of Wrath, Fox realized it would cut into the sales of the SA timed exclusive and pulled it. And as a result SA just lowered their price for both to $24.95. At least some benefit came from posting it lol.

Still, at least we know that it will be posted at Fox connect for that price down the road, and likely amazon and others too (but probably not as cheap).

Arkadin · 03-29-2012, 12:23 PM

weird.
so will SAE credit the losers like me that already pre-ordered both titles from them?

Correct. If you paid online via credit card, we will only charge the reduced amount. If you used paypal, expect a refund within 24 hours of shipping. You can log into your account now and view your order history and see what the newly adjusted total is. Thanks for ordering!

wvl · 03-29-2012, 01:52 PM

Damn good movie, but come one... $21 bucks for this movie? Really? I love the movie, but I ain't given up no $21 bucks for it. It should be around $12 ~ 15 bucks... not a cent more.

I am waiting until the price comes down. Only way for they know we won't pay is to hold off until the price is right.
