I had some time to kill and was perusing one of the local Wal-marts and saw that they already have the DVD out for sale, but not the Blu-ray. It is probably a mistake on Wal-mart's part, but might be worth a look for those that can't wait or don't need Blu-ray.

I was able to find the Les Miserables blu ray at a local retailer. The audio commentary by director Tom Hooper was insightful. Some of the facts he shared:

The actors playing the students actually were directed to take the furniture and carts from the surrounding set and build their own barricade. The barricade in the film, other than some additions like the elephant tusks and coffins, is basically what the actors created themselves.

Eponine was originally included in Valjean's death scene with Fantine, but was later digitally painted out.

A scene was filmed in which Valjean found out about Javert's death, but was wisely left on the cutting room floor.

There was some re-recording of singing during the opening scene due to the excessive noise with the water.
