So Butch and Sundance pack their guns, don new duds, and, with Sundance's girlfriend, head down to Bolivia.

Guys, dumba$$ question.  Does OOP (out of print/production) apply also in blu-ray titles?  I've seen Shooter, We Were Soldiers, Mission Impossible go unavailable in amazon when I checked it yesterday.    Only marketsellers are selling these

So is Top Gun Blu-ray, they postponed this?

So is Top Gun Blu-ray, they postponed this?

Since there is no official word from Paramount Pictures concerning their return to Blu ray, all previous blu releases before their short-lived exclusivity jump to the HD Dud format are still OOP.

ok thanks chief! looks like most paramount pictures have gone oop now.
