It was supposed to be released on April 22, but MGM pulled it and looks like they haven't set a new street date yet.

Hmmm... they probably want to wait until the box office resurgance cools down...

What site did you get that date from? All the ones I've searched had no date set. One even had 1/1/10.

Maybe they are beefing up the disc, so they can charge more and get the money they know is going to be made off of it.

hmv.com has a release date set for May 13th, 2003 and I remember reading on a site when the DVD was originally delayed that it was moved back to that date also.

Last I heard it had no street date. Here is a quote from Davisdvd.com:

"» BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE

I've been informed by MGM that the Michael Moore documentary Bowling For Columbine will not make it to DVD on May 13. The studio is awaiting delivery of additional special feature materials and, as such, has delayed the title indefinitely. Stay tuned as more news develops on a new release date. "

They have posted no new street date thus far.

Some details have surfaced about the special features that we will likely see on the DVD for Michael Moore's Oscar winning documentary, BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE. The DVD was set for release April 22nd, but MGM pushed it back to August 19th to capitalize on the added buzz following it's Oscar win and to give the studio time to produce "significant" special features for inclusion on the disc. One of those special features is reported to be an interview with Moore in which the filmmaker addresses his controversial Oscar acceptance speech in which he slammed President Bush.

So that's why it was delayed: Michael Moore will answer those who blasted his Oscar night slam on President Bush when Bowling for Columbine finally comes to stores on August 19th. The MGM disc will feature a new interview with the filmmaker about his Oscar victory and the controversial acceptance speech (the disc will also include a transcript of the speech and accompanying stills from the evening). Among the six hours of additional supplements on the disc will be an introduction to the film by Moore, a feature-length audio commentary by Moore's production office receptionist and interns, other Moore interviews, and a video montage of Moore's appearances at film festivals around the world.
