A.I. Blu-ray Beckons from Europe and Asia (Update)

A Blu-ray edition of Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence is still unannounced in the US; in other countries (especially Germany), it has been announced on several occasions, and delayed just as many times. But according to user reports, this time it is really coming out very soon in several European and Asian countries.

A Blu-ray enthusiast from Finland has already received his copy and has posted pictures of the case and the disc.
