Toy Story 3 & Finding Nemo coming to BD/DVD Nov. 9? [UPDATE]

After more than a week of no major news, some news!

DVDDizzy.com/UltimateDisney.com is listing Tuesday, November 9 as the release date of Toy Story 3 on Blu-ray Disc (BD) and DVD and the epically long-awaited Finding Nemo BD.

The site is said to be usually reliable but the date is not confirmed by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and home video release dates change all the time. The timing of Nov. 9 makes sense at least for 'TS3' because it's not too late in the year and far enough away from the big BD debut of Disney's Beauty and the Beast on October 5.

Finding Nemo will probably be sold in a BD/DVD combo pack, as were the first two Toy Story films in March. Toy Story 3 will undoubtedly be sold in multiple editions on DVD and BD, including combo packs and an expected 3-D Blu-ray for consumers with new 3-D-capable TVs.

Shout-out to Jerrod Maruyama for the tip

Update: The Digital Bits (via Stitch Kingdom) says that Toy Story 3 may be released on Blu-ray (BD) and DVD on Nov. 2. instead of Nov. 9. This is based on a reader-submitted photo of a retail display promoting the titles for pre-order with that date.

The Digital Bits also reports that '3' will be sold in up to five different editions: a single disc DVD, a 2-disc Special Edition DVD, a 2-disc BD, a 4-disc BD combo pack (which also includes DVD and Digital Copy) and a 4-disc Blu-ray gift set.

Update: Amazon has listed Toy Story 3 for pre-order in three editions, with a release date of November 2.

You would think that Pixar would know when their movies are being released on blu-ray. I wish Disney would just release them all already and be done with it.

You have to wonder if the Incredibles is delayed in deference to Brad Bird, who would likely want some part of whatever new material they'd be creating for it. Either that or they are just rolling out movies spaced apart so they can keep the focus on each new Blu Ray. Nemo is a highly anticipated Blu Ray and will do quite well because of that anticipation.

I'm curious if they'll be rereleasing Cars next year as a build up to the sequel. I had the double dipping but it seems like the type of situation that Disney would jump all over. (Combo pack + new features + movie ticket, etc.)
