Waiting for Warner? Warner is having distribution issues. The HD DVD Ocean's Trilogy is sold out and/or not in stock all over. They really need to get their act together. I ended up getting the BD version which Amazon did have.
Looking forward to Star Trek next week.

1) That the manufacturers are having trouble pressing the discs (unlikely), or...
2) That the demand is out-stripping the supply.
Also, if it's the latter reason, it probably has more to do with store inventories (double or triple inventories in certain cases for Std., HD & Blu-ray).
The latter isn't necessarily a bad thing, except for the delays involved. If the demand is healthy it bodes well for HD and/or Blu-ray and the release of many more titles.

Assuming similar distribution and the reputed issue of Blu-rays being more difficult and expensive to press, if HD discs are selling out then it may suggest that HD titles weren't stocked in appreciable quantities; that also suggests that video stores (on-line and brick & mortar) may have been caught unprepared by an increased interest in HD. It would be interesting to see some real-world sales figures sans either format's spin.

They are having problems with distribution. They have upgraded their automated system, and are having a few hickups.
