Glad I got the Region A blu-ray now .
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya's UK Blu-Ray release suffers further delays. Now slated for 2012 release, DVD release still on schedule.
We've already seen some delays to the UK release of the much-anticipated movie from Kyoto Animation, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, but if you were explicitly waiting for the film's Blu-Ray release then here's even more bad news to try your patience a little further.
The UK distributor for the film, Manga Entertainment, has now confirmed via their Facebook page that although the movie's DVD release will indeed appear on retail shelves on November 7th as planned, the planned Blu-Ray release of the movie has now been delayed until February 2012, with a release now expected on the 20th of that month.
Manga Entertainment cites "major problems with the Blu-Ray's production" as the reason for the latest delay, before going on to explain these issues via the following statement:
"We received the Blu-Ray master some weeks ago and had check discs for QC received early last week. We discovered that the disc does not play on the PS3, which as you can imagine is a major problem! So, we now have to re-author the BD from scratch. Authoring for BD is tremendously difficult and not straightforward at all. I am gutted this has happened as the Haruhi movie is one of our biggest BD releases of the year. On behalf of Manga, I am deeply sorry for the disappointment this delay will cause the many loyal UK Haruhi fans and customers we are fortunate enough to do business with."
Glad I got the Region A blu-ray now .
