I made a few calls for verification and it looks like the August 31st
release by Paramount of the first season of the original Star Trek will have
a list price of $129.95. It appears that a typo of one of the regional reps
resulted in the higher, $169.95, to go out.

in several formats as well as daily changes. Currently the main database
contains 45,348 titles. Changes and additions this week number 212 and there

No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

I bought the Antz / Chicken Run value pack in January for CAD$20. It's
indicated as no longer available, so I guess this is a re-release of
the combo.

 

Correct: "NO".
The proper word is "delayed".

Derek Janssen (try not to confuse them)

 

:::sniff, whimper, wipes nose::: But, but, but you said "cancelled"?

Because they had disappeared off his Big Date List--
Meaning, they didn't have a date...

Over on the anime groups, we've got the betting pool going until Disney
gives us the press statement and we can stop guessing--
Even money on "Increased demand during the pressed fall Aladdin/Mulan
season, just like the Treasures sets", a cool 2:1 on "Tie-in with
'Howl's Moving Castle' in theaters", and 5:1 could get you a profit on
"Had to pull cancelled 'Whisper of the Heart' promos put on by mistake"...
(And psst, hey, want the sucker longshot on "They're doing it to be
mean, because they're Evil, Jealous Disney" at 30:1?--All the old
fogeys're rushing for that one!)

Derek Janssen

 

Hey, his post said "cancelled." I assumed he was trustworthy. Should I
now be suspicious of any DVD-related announcements and look for outside
confirmation on everything?

Well, Disney *is* evil and jealous. The screwups at Disney feature
animation are well-known. Lawyers contributing to story ideas. It's
obscene.

OMG. Cancelled is what they always freaking use for something that's
delayed.

 

Rumor has it that Justin put forth the following:

Then answer me this: what do they mean, then, when instead of saying a title has
been "canceled" they say it has been "delayed"?

Then why have a separate category for "postponed" DVDs? I reacted
reasonably to what was contained in the original post.
