I am also waiting for this... just remember I ordered it months ago. I checked the order progress and saw that it had been pushed back. I'm really looking forward to Roger Deakins cinematography in HD!

I suspect this one is being shipped from the states, so I'd expect to have it by about next Wednesday.

Movietyme have a UK Depot that they ship movies from.
I've got all of my hd-dvds from then within 1-2 working days.

I'm expecting 'Being John Malkovich' tomorow. :D Can't wait!

Strange all of my orders from Movietyme have a New Zealand sticker on them, and it takes 2-3 weeks to arrive.

Yup, it arrived today! :D

So that was a pre-order HD-DVD delivered within 2 days of being processed.

Just got my copy from Movietyme this morning also. They sure do a great job in getting these HD-DVDs out as soon as possible

For all those Dude fans like myself who have been looking forward to this release, you won't be disappointed, Universal have done a great job with this transfer, you can tell from the first clip where the tumbleweed is rolling over the sand at dusk, on the DVD this had lots of artifacts and noise etc; but now it looks pristine. Couldn't be happier

Also check out the "Forever Young" introduction which was added, very funny, Im sure the Coens are responsible for this, its just their style!
