I was just looking through HD-DVD's and saw something really wierd. There is already a listing for Transformers the movie 2007. I am assuming there is already a listing for the DVD version aswell. It also is sporting the 7/4/7 poster for the box cover. This begs the question how soon after the movie's release do you think they are releasing this? Hopefully its not because they did a test screening of the movie and are afraid of a poor box office. See what happens when you dont make mr Welker happy. Anyone got info on this anomaly Here is the link to amazon http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-HD-DVD/dp/B000NU2NJ8/ref=sr_1_217/102-3450958-4043349?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1175048111&sr=1-217 http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-HD-DVD/dp/B000NU2NJ8/ref=sr_1_217/102-3450958-4043349?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1175048111&sr=1-217
I'm thinking probably around Thanksgiving is when the movie gets released on DVD. I can't wait until it comes out on HD though

It has nothing to do that they are afraid of the box-office.
Likely a bit like with the release date of a movie they look for when the best time will be for the DVD release. I mean you wouldn't want to release a DVD on the same day as two or three other big films no matter how good your movie was. By announcing a DVD release early it gives the other guys a heads up on when they should release their own DVDs. I mean could you imagine the mess if Spidey, Pirates, Shrek, Potter and Transformers were all released on the same Tuesday.
I think that they realized just how kick ass this film is going to be and got on track with it. Think about it , wouldn't you wat to get in on the action if you were 99% sure that some thing was a sure thing?
