It's exactly the same way Deadwing was done.
Plus, Record labels & distribution deals just do not work this way.
Sorry, but that is the way it is. Look at it this way - the glass is half full, not half empty. you're getting the surround mix earlier than you would otherwise.
Does anyone have a link to preorder the CD/DVDV? Newbury Comics has the CD, but I can't find the 2 disc special edition. I would like to buy both this and the DVDA when released.
