I noticed transformers 2 is out already on dvd and bluray but not up on itunes

anyone know of why or any ideas?
 
If I am not mistaken, Transformers (the first one) was up on iTunes but mysteriously disappeared or was yanked off.

To this date I have no idea and yes I am anxiously awaiting Transformers 2 for iTunes.
 
Assuming that it will show up in iTunes (not all of them do), many studios maintain an exclusivity period of a couple of weeks to 30 days before before the movie gets distributed digitally to make sure that DVD sales are not (in their minds) affected negatively.
 
According to Amazon it comes out on 10/20. Or am I missing something?
 
pre orders

star trek, public enemies, and harry potter, are all up for pre order, every big summer movie is except transformers and terminator.
 
Maybe Apple deemed it so bad they couldn't put it up on iTunes. Wait that can't be true, Leprechaun 6: Back 2 tha' hood is in iTunes, so that theory is disproved....

On a serious note, I remember renting the first Transformers movie back in January of 08', but when I went to buy it in April, it was nowhere to be found. It's very odd.
