The page knows my Amazon name without me typing it in so I'd say it's legit. It doesn't show up in searches yet.... it's probably a leak thats not supposed to be live yet.

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease let this be for real!

I'm definitely picking this one up. I've been waiting for a good transfer for years.

Sweet! I wonder what special features will be included.

I was just about to say the same thing :lol

Since it's a "20th Anniversary Edition" it seems it'd be safe to assume it has something beyond the barebones DVD release.

Kevin Smith did his best to make sure the panel discussion from the 20th anniversary screening won't be included, as it would have to be rated "R". I'd say the "Excitement in the Air" show is likely.

You'd be surprised. With Disney and some of their anniversary releases... don't expect much. Some of the DVD releases of their animated classics are good examples. Actually, take the latest release of Fox and the Hound (that came out a couple weeks ago) on blu; sure they packaged it with its sequel, but for a 30th Anniversary edition, it's quite pathetic.

I'm not expecting much, just looking forward to a better transfer.

And I'm okay with that.

Finally! My standards have increased since the DVD was released. Hoping for 7.1 new transfer on this one.

The print that was shown at the screening definately had a new sound mix so I think it's very likely.

The same reason the DVD in non-anamorphic... carelessness. Here is a link to blu-ray.com

Being a Disney release, the picture quality SHOULD be amazing.

I've got my preorder in

I wonder if this is why the movie is on TV show much lately. They're having it shown to slowly build a buzz for it. It's a regular on scifi lately.
