I've picked up a rumour, that Fox should have delayed M&C to find room for a surprise HD release of Michael Moores 9/11

?????

M&C is still up for pre-order on Amazon. I pre-ordered it yesterday regardless -- figured the worst is Amazon will just cancel my order.

My pre-order for Blades of Glory on BD is still open with Amazon and scheduled to ship on 10/30/2007. It won't happen, but I'm using this ...

have we got anything official yet as to M&C? and I don't mean any email to any retailer, but something solid the official fox blu-ray site still lists it as coming in "15 days"

It does seem strange that with only two weeks left prior to release there has been no "official" announcement from Fox regarding the cancelation. Using an e-mail from a distributor "to get the word out" seems an odd way of doing business. Or will Fox wait one day before the release to officially pull it? I just hope Fox doesn't do this with any of their other titles, especially ID4 -- ...

Considering Fox was supposed to release 3 dozen titles before June and hasnt released any titles in the last 7 months, there should be 3-6 dozen titles already encoded and ready to be published. There shouldnt be any excuse for more delays they have had over a half year to get ready for it.

FOX is a POS studio.. They announce this huge list to counter the Paramount/Dreamworks news and now they're delaying/canceling some of the highly anticipated titles. I'm sick of this.. Cancel/Delays, Forced DTS-MA that no one can hear, high prices, and forced PG-13 dubbed releases.. I'm officially boycotting all FOX purchases at this point, I'm tired of their games.
