It seems overkill to start a new thread every time a single title is seen at a good pre-order price, so thought it might be an idea to have a general one instead. (override me if this isn't wanted)

MVM's March titles are all £9.99 each on HMV:

Assuming Revelation ever get round to releasing it, the Special Edition Fullmetal Alchemist Movie is at a good price.

Play.com also have Haruhi Special 2 going for £25.99 which is ever so slightly better than everywhere else. (I've order volume 1 at HMV and 2 at play.com now...)

I think that's a Play.com mistake. They removed that SE version last year, by changing its year from 2007 to 2008

I'm hoping that if they got a lot of pre-orders last year they're holding on until Rev announce it again.

If they say they definitely aren't going to do a SE then I can go and buy to the regular edition. We've been waiting a long time!

I though Revelation had already confirmed FMA SE for September 2008. I asked them when I reviewed the single disc edition and they sounded pretty definite then, and I 've seen it crop up in a couple of release schedules since then. Never heard them say that it had been canned.

The last Anime UK News schedule update at the end of March just gone had it scheduled for 22nd September

http://www.animeuknews.net/news/1636/uk-dvd-release-schedule-for-first-half-of-summer-2008

So unless something's changed in the last three weeks...

Interesting. Didn't someone guess that it would be straight to box a while back.

Fullmetal Alchemist SE lives!

There's been a price change and new info put up so fingers crossed Rev is going through with it:

Looks interesting. I may even consider dipping this one, even though i'm not the greatest FMA fan ever. It all depends on if the commentaries are dub or sub extras.

again, again, AGAIN? AGAIN!!

It's like some twisted 3rd impact groundhog day.

I did see the listing on Play when I updated the relase date list but bypassed it as a mistake, surely ADV can't be releasing Ava again, again, again.

*twitches*
