8 Mile in hand :)

[Bluballs31]

Thankyou to Brad1963 for telling me he had saw a copy to purchase at a store in cali by him. I ended up emailing them and they sent it out to me that day.

Going to check this out tonight. I assume it was pressed up and is just being held somewhere the same way blades of glory was. No idea why they are holding it other than maybe for Eminems new album release in 2009 sometime

WTF?? How many copies did they have, and what store was this at?

[Bluballs31]

only 1 copy. I asked if they had more because members of another forum that I am friends with had wanted it as well. I see on ebay that they have a few copies, but I contacted the guy and he told me it was simply a preorder

edit:

amoeba (spelling?) music in hollywood, CA

Nice find. You should eBay it to see what kind of money it fetches.

The store was Amoeba records on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, across from the Cinrama Dome.

ya know I thought about that, but i'm such a fan of the film that I just want it for myself. I know it will be released down the line and I could just buy it again, but rather not even bother selling it.

Much appreciated Brad. Many thanks

very cool find. Hopefully the guesses are right and they go ahead and release this sooner than later.

The 'uncensored' Superman video on the DVD was so weird...it had uncensored nudity and some swears too...but some of the other swears were censored (B****es turned into 'chickens', etc). So strange.

I called that store, and the other Amoeba's, and non of them have any record of ever having that title in stock. How is this possible?

awesome find

brad posted in that other 8 mile thread and I just ended up contacting the store he saw it at. I spoke to a woman and told her I wasnt in cali and that I needed it shipped. She put me through to a diff department and he went and sent it out to me. Not really sure what to say.

I was told from someone on another forum that it is a review copy. So I assume if it is out there that it is in small numbers

Amoeba is awesome best store ever.
8 mile on the other hand ... not so much.

i've never used them before. Do they always have titles out like this that maybe arent supposed be for sale yet???

I'm a fan of the flick for whatever reason lol. I was big into hip hop when it came out. I am still a fan today, but as you get older, the music style changes.

judging by this pic and the UPC being whited out it probably wasnt meant for retail sale or taken from a set(ask for that set)I cant remember what it was but it had 2 other titles(jarhead and kingdom I think)

[Josh]

When Universal sends out screeners, they put a sticker on the front that says its property of Universal Studios and they also put a sticker over the UPC as you see above. It looks like a review copy.

Odd, though, as I didn't receive a review copy. My guess is that it slipped out of the replicator by accident (hense the review copies making it to retail stores). This will be another case of "Blades of Glory" collectible until the actual release hits stores.

how much could you fetch for a copy of this?....

I want to know if it's worth looking for or not...

i dunno if it could reach blades of glory levels, but who knows

I'm a fan of the movie so dont care to try to profit off it. I attempted to get more copies and wasnt even going to sell them, but instead give them to friends on the forum

.

Amoeba is pretty much a HUGE independant music/movie store. They pretty much do what they want, I'm sure. And they have a huge selection of used items aswell.
