My order is still intact. Why would they cancel it?
The reason they may cancel it is if they don't carry it. It may be exclusively offered through Acoustic Sounds, at least for the initial run.

That would be creepy. I wouldn't support that. If I can't at least get it from Elusive instead, I'll go with the Blu-ray.The reason they may cancel it is if they don't carry it. It may be exclusively offered through Acoustic Sounds, at least for the initial run.

Jpc.de has the various configuration on pre-order as well.

I have nothing to back this up but I think I feel bad for Acoustic Sounds - Sony did not seem interested in directly releasing any high def/5.1 version of this back in early 2014. Somehow Waters & Acoustic Sounds worked out an agreement - presumably the rights are worked out with Sony and lo and behold on April 6th, I placed my order for Amused to Death SACD........
This is an excellent point. Acoustic Sounds has invested in SACD, picking up where Sony dumped it off. Along with Audio Fidelity and other specialty labels, the format survives. Now here comes Sony, again, basically ripping the carpet out from under AS.
Nothing new here. AS makes the investment, Sony sneaks in and takes the reward. I think I may just order the SACD now to support AS.

I can't even express how much distaste I have for Sony..from the format wars to their proprietary accessories..someone on here asked me why I never bought another DVD-A after my first purchase until a decade later...because when I saw them trot out a $5,000 SACD player when DVD-A was just getting traction in the marketplace all I could think about was the Beta machine I bought that they botched and DVD controlled the marketplace...when you get in bed with Sony it's like putting lipstick on a pig...it might look better at first but at the end of the day it's still a pig..
What about all those poor folk who spent huge dollars on the original Sony SACD players that did not do surround, or those first and second generation BluRay players that were rushed out with inadequate or missing features just to torpedo HD-DVD from getting a foothold in the HD disc marketplace. They were never going to accept a Beta-type failure again, no matter what the cost. What the cost.
Well, the initial SACD introduction included an announcement that Multichannel would be added to the format - along with a compatible Hybrid layer with CD compatibility at a later date. So fans who attended the demonstrations and read the articles on the format knew that.
hey Jon, are you sure they poor? :lookaroundWhat about all those poor folk who spent huge dollars on the original Sony SACD players
if i hate Sony, i hate them for doing too much mess and inconstancy in almost all their moves.I'm not in the hate zone, but for those who are into hating, there are plenty of companies out there to distribute your hate for when it comes to competing formats that have, or have not succeeded over the years.
Let the hating continue.....
hey Jon, are you sure they poor? :lookaround
pretty much same i can say about all those "renaissance" of SACD, DSD... which is nothing else but attempt to drag into today
the remnants from the past formats war and make money on sales of snake oil.
Depends on your audio system, music, etc. Over the years, many people have asked me "are there really people who can't hear the improvement that DSD and SACD bring over conventional PCM"? It is unbelievable to them.
And I tell them, it really does happen.
