Everything I've read about it just says "Q1 2010".

Asda, The Hut, Tesco etc. all do this from time to time, it is always when the product is out of, or not in stock. For some reason the release date defaults to 2020.

I'm buying this one on the back of the trailer I saw at the start of District 9. Looked and sounded stunning (even with DD audio).

I have the Canadian steelbook in the way. Hopefully have it by the weekend.

Why does it matter?
The 'Special Edition' DVD just has some extra special features that the 1 disc version doesn't have room for. The Blu-Ray has all of these special features, so no reason to have another version

Actually, you just answered the question. The confused wasn't required.

i have the US version and as someone said previously the sound is fantastic from the 1st song onwards this is musical audio demo heaven!
and before anyone starts a thread about it yes some of the footage is windowboxed on purpose (it was the same at the cinema) im guessing it didnt hold up to being blown up to fullscreen for some reason as it was shot on sd or something and was never intended for bluray release just for private viewing if the rehearsals

I've just got back from the Launch event at HMV (It was to accompany the missus, honest )

The only dance performed was the Drill with Travis Payne leading with 2 of the lead dancers but it was performed impeccably and good to see live.

Both Kenny Ortega & Travis Payne were very friendly and happy to chat, shake hands & hug fans.

There were a few hundred people there but it was well managed and the queues for autographs moved quickly enough.
