Criterion Collection president Peter Becker has explained the slight Che delay (i.e., coming out in January '10 rather than two months hence). The Che Bluray/DVD "is coming, and as you can imagine there's a wealth of great content getting developed," Becker says.
"We wanted to be ready for December, but Steven Soderbergh needed time to reconstruct some deleted scenes, and we were also able, in what we think is going to be a controversial coup, to persuade Che Guevara biographer Jon Lee Anderson to do commentaries on both films, but he also needed more time to prepare.
"In short, it became clear that if we delayed the release a month we would be able to make a much better set. That's a trade we will always make, even if it means we don't get the benefit of sales in the holiday season, and we think that's the kind of
decision our collectors would want us to make."
Okay -- I'll buy that.

This is why I love Criterion and hate waiting for Criterion releases! Suppose that in the 21st century when having to wait for something is a rare occurrence, these minor exercises of patience are probably a good thing.
Besides, there's plenty left in 2009! Heat, Public Enemies, North by Northwest just to name a few.

Heat is getting a Criterion release? Hell yeah. Anyway, I hope that Criterion's greatest strength doesn't lead to their demise. I understand they aren't doing to hot right now and not getting the Holiday sales could hurt. But boy do they have integrity.

No, the other movies I named are not Criterion releases, sorry for the confusion. Still should be pretty fun to see them all on blu ray though.
