"Transformers" To Be Released on DVD / HD-DVD October 16th?

Posted by Darth Bombshell Aug 23, 2007 at 5:55pm CDT 20,903 views
As the Transformers Movie winds down in theaters, discussion has turned to the eventual DVD release. But among the news that has been released thus far, one thing has remained elusive: the date of that eventual release. That has changed today, as several online retailers, including HD Addicts, are announcing a release date of Tuesday, October 16th. Please keep in mind, however, that this is far from official confirmation, and is subject to change without notice.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Hey, that's not to bad. I was actually thinking closer to November...but that would be nice.

Of course, I'd have to wait untill Christmas, though to watch it on HD-DVD, since I'm not getting my 360 HD Drive untill then....

Hopefully this is a world wide date and not a US one. I know that Australia was one of the first countries to get it in theatres, but we have to wait ages for the dvd.

Actually, the shortest theater to DVD time goes to a movie called Bubble, 2006 film from director Steven Soderbergh which came out on DVD the same day as it's theatrical release.

The second shortest theater to DVD time is for the film Surviving Christmas. The movie was released on DVD just two months after its theatrical release, making it the film with the shortest time between theatrical to DVD release. (The movie was also a box office bomb, grossing around $4 million in its opening weekend and about $11 million five weeks after its release.)

Then Justin and Kelly.

It would surprise me if it were true.

Although it would not surprise me if this was the release date of a basic DVD version, with more Special Editions and Director Cut versions to be released closer to Christmas.

Oh good point. If that's the case, I'll wait for the later more elaborate editions.
