Ms. Kia Blue of the 2Entertain Cinema Club has just confirmed that the DVD of Becoming Jane will be released on September 10th priced £19.99.
Amazon UK says it's £12.98, though. For international buyers who wants faster delivery, I recommend HMV UK (£12.99), for I received the Becoming Jane Soundtrack only 10 days after the shipment. So, let's hope that it's cheaper than £19.99. If not, well... I plan to pre-order anyway!

Jon Spence,
McAvoy knew his portrait of Tom could only come alive with the right Jane, and he found Anne Hathaway almost supernaturally suited for the part. “I don’t think we could have chosen anyone better to play Jane Austen," he says.
Jane Austen’s greatest love story was her own
‘I’m yours, Jane, heart and soul!’
~ Tom Lefroy to Jane Austen, ‘Becoming Jane’
Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying without affection – JA,
Nothing can be compared to the misery of being bound without Love, bound to one, & preferring another – JA,
To be so bent on marriage, to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation – is a sort of thing that shocks me.
The film Becoming Jane has given us an image of Jane Austen that liberates our imagination. I envy readers of my book who come to it with Anne Hathaway’s image of Jane in their mind’s eye. You will not have to struggle against the image Cassandra created to see the Jane Austen who was young and pretty, lively and in love. Anne Hathaway’s skilful portrayal of Jane Austen in Becoming Jane shows that art can have as much power to bring us closer to the truth as facts themselves can.
Jon Spence,

I believe that is the same date for us yankees too.
Since I haven't seen the movie yet, and can only induldge in clips, I have only gotten a taste of the music. Sounds lovely!
I know I enjoy my P&P soundtrack, hoping this one is as good or better.
Thanks!
Oh, I guess you'll love BJ soundtrack. It's soulful, but has some merry musics as well (cricket, Basingstoke, Laverton, and my fave: Bond Street).
Which PP do you refer to? The 1995 or the 2005? I want to have them both, but I have to save a bit now. Will buy them in a month time...
Thanks Icha!
The 05 P&P soundtrack was given to me as a gift and I love it. Dawn is my favorite.
I do not own the soundtrack to the 95 miniseries but I would love to as I adore the mini. Especially Mr Beveridge's Maggot, although Amazon shows its not on there.
did they say when they'll release the DVD here in the US?
No, Amazon.com has not informed us the date:
http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Jane/dp/B00005JPST/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-8689269-4254218?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1189320679&sr=1-2
My DVD copy from the UK is flying to Australia. It's bloody expensive, but I am to leave to Indonesia for field work soon, hence I cannot wait for the Region 4 DVD coming out in Australia. My player is multi-region, so it's safe.
