What arrived for you today?

Arrow themselves have re-released it barebones as I said above.

(though Amazon incorrectly list it as Universal)

Michael Brooke confirmed this at blu-ray.com

Damn, got fooled by Amazon and Arrow Films. Took advantage of their "Three DVDs and Blu-ray for £20" deal. Bought "The Burbs" bluray but didn't notice it was a new 2015 re-release version (didn't even know there was such a release), that is barebones. When I ordered it it had the same price as the 2014 release so telling difference was not so easy. Now they have slashed the price on this barebones POS.

Haven't had much luck with buying discs lately. Ordered a bluray from zoverstocks, got used and abused rental DVD instead. Should take a break from buying for a year or two and just go trough my unwatched piles

Shame about that Ain. Arrow made sure to be clear about it on their official pages that they were releasing a barebones version for supermarkets etc who require a lower price point, so it is a shame they made it to Amazon. Return it, get your refund, and then get the right one! Or wait until one of Arrow's sales on their own site where everything gets cheap.

It would be just too much trouble and too expensive to return it. Just recently quit my job so don't want extra expenses right now.
I think Amazon didn't even know what they were selling as this bare bones was with the same price as the "SE" when I ordered it. Now they have reduced it's price almost 60%.
Can't buy from Arrow directly cos of their PayPal only policy. They have/had a lot of discs I would of bought directly from them.

Ain, the 2015 Universal release has a different cover.

If you look at that 2014 "Special Edition" page you see it has that cover too. I guess it has reversible cover.

Hmm... that's some misinformation that even the most selective collectors would be unaware of. Even a DVD/blu-ray detective like me might fall for it

The best way to avoid such things, if we buy from Amazon, is to save the exact title we want into our wishlist or basket. That way we won't be getting the wrong product. That's what I do.

Anyway, enjoy the film Ain

I have Amazon wishlist, but it's 21 pages long I usually don't even use Amazon offers, but buy trough wishlist from third-party sellers (better prices on discs and postage). The 3 discs for 20 seemed just too good to be true for the items I picked (and it was).

I won't enjoy it any time soon. I'll hide this failure under other unwatched discs.

Having just moved, I decided to check out the local car boot sale this morning. Pretty dire to be honest with no Blu-rays to be seen and the usual million copies of The Matrix and Pulp Fiction on DVD. Did scope three DVD's for a £1 though:
- The Art of Getting By (Fox)
- Jeeves and Wooster: Series 2 (VCI)
- The Legend of Hell House (Fox)

Also picked up 3 x kids Ladybird books from 1986/87 which were like new for £0.10 for all 3. The inner kid made me do it:
- Transformers: Galvatron's Air Attack
- Transformers: Autobots Fight Back
- Bravestarr: The Phantom Herd
