Appears Warner is putting out few copies of new titles now. Amazon is prepping my order but it looks like if you didnt have it preordered your SOL. Its also the same for Appleseed Ex Machina. Recommend everyone to preorder the few Warner releases that are left to make sure you get a copy thats if your still buying HD DVDs of course.

I really liked it although a bit dreamy it was good.
Picture IMO was at least 4 1/2 stars with some banding and come over saturation of contrast but over all a very good picture.
