I guess Par does this because they're supporting both Ultraviolet and Digital Copy) quickly disappearing from BB store shelves.

If anyone has the BB weekly flyer from last week and/or the week before and would check it please (as I don't think it's available online once the week it contemplates has passed), I'm wondering if BB advertised the price drop or if this was more stealthy.

The PM was the other way around. The first week of the current Upgrade and Save promotion, Best Buy had the 2-disc set listed for $9.99. That's when Amazon PMed Best Buy. Last week, for the one day that both versions of Ghost Protocol jumped in price for some odd reason, Amazon's price jumped up to $14.99. When the price for both went back down to $9.99, Amazon PMed Best Buy again.

So foreign countries Will never get a chance to watch the superior release from best buy.

Paramount you truly suck. This is not the way to treat foreign buyers of your movies !

I got it for $4.99 with trade-in... pretty amazing for a movie out only 8 months and a big hit as well.

Thank you for the intellectual support.

People, I'm not a noob, I know what I'm saying. Trust my posts. And to make it clear again I'm commenting on the ORIGINAL Aspect Ratio.

No in full screen to minimize cropping. That is what I'm getting at. In order to put the IMAX sequences in 2.39:1 they had to crop the footage (more than what they should). The shot loses the nostalgic effect.

Bought this on release day back in April, finally got around to watching it, wish I would have watched it sooner lol, Great film. unbeleivable action sequences. the Burj Khalifa Tower scene was heart pounding and
