Quote:That is a mistake as well. It's release date is april 27. That april 2 date is assuming it's on backorder, which it is not since it's actually a preorder at this point.
Apparently, most anime distributors have two street dates -- the early one for the speciality stores that primarily sell anime and other fan collectibles (like comics), and the later one for mass retaillers (like Best Buy and FYE).
The reason being is that Animenation (which has a brick-and-mortar store where I live, in the Tampa Bay area), already has Marmalade Boy on stock, but at only 10% off the SRP of $89.95 (I think).
Apparently, Best Buy quoted the early specialty date by mistake.
