In regards to Target's date, no idea why and cannot validate why that date but other folks have experienced this as well.
Seeing that I want the blu-ray simply for the audio, I plan on waiting to get the fixed version but it would have been nice to have it early.Comment

On a different forum I read (the one I posted up thread), one guy is worrying that when it's released to the public 'again', that it'll just be the 2 hour special preview of the special that was shown before it hit Disney+, and that Disney+ will have the exclusive rights to the original three part series.
Anyway, what the guy said was this: "What if Disney at the last minute decided to go the other way - and instead of extras, eventually releases the blu ray and DVD with the short version (screened for family and friends at the premiere) and saves the 8 hour version exclusively for their streaming customers."
I wanted to correct myself in regard to how long the guy said the premier (or as I mistakenly said earlier 'preview') version was, in that he didn't actually give a length for the short version, but indeed did say there was a short version made...

According to one guy on those forums, he was able to buy it at Target by purchasing it thru the self checkout... This is his story:
"I had a slow day, so I decided to go to another Target nearby to see if they had it and try going through the self checkout line. They did have them in stock on the shelves, I grabbed one and went to the self checkout kiosk. When I scanned it, a prompt came up on the screen telling me an associate will come assist me. He logged in, scanned it and it again said "unable to sell this item until September 9, 2022 at 12:00am".
I asked him if we could still run by card and do some work around. He said "there's always a way around these things". So he scanned it as a non-barcoded item and I finished my checkout and I'm home with it now.
So if anyone has this same issue at a Target, just try the self checkout line and ask if there's a non-barcode bypass that can be done.
I haven't played it yet. I'll wait till tonight when I have some uninterrupted time. "

In regard to my post where I mentioned the guy saying there was a 2 hour preview version, I had it wrong in terms of the length of the premier screening version, he didn't give a length of how long it was-I was just going by memory when I posted and had 2 hours in my mind for some reason...

The Premiere version which is 100 minutes was edited for the that presentation only according to what Jackson touched on.
What is being released is the actual Disney Plus version based on the time duration on the pre-order website, which The Beatles store sent out again this morning. No set date but hearing overseas are getting it in March.Comment

For those that are interested, the rescheduled release date is March 11th for the USA. For the UK it will be May 27th. Japan is April 20th.
The audio glitch for released disc is the surround was down mixed to stereo. So pretty much worthless and for the folks that paid over $100 for the discs on ebay, not worth it. Bottom line all discs need to reauthored with the proper audio hence the bad discs will be dumped but packaging reused and resealed. So, no new material or deleted material. Same. Although there is an error with credits that was fixed on Disney plus but not the discs. Not a big deal but might be to Macca as it is his personal friend, Ivan Vaughn.

They're probably people that tried to flip it after it was pulled from shelves and now they realize they can't get their scalping price, so they're lowering it hoping someone will still bite?Last edited by apes3978; May 23, '22, 8:06 AM.Comment
