After a bit of digging, it turns out that they only have one listing for the bluray on their site, I guess it's down to luck whether you get the Criterion or the old MGM release.

I had the same experience with Easy Rider & got the Criterion for £4.
They do it with a number of catalogue titles. In the past I've also picked up Arrow's The Thing & Ronin a few weeks after release priced as the old versions (again, about £3 or £4 a pop I think).
I was kinda hoping the Studio Canal John Carpenter remasters would fall into the same pricing error, but they seem to have wised up on those titles & they're the same prices as Amazon...
For all the badmouthing CEX gets, you do find the occasional bargain. I got the Entertainment Store exclusive Star Trek Into Darkness 3D steelbook in mint condition for £1 last week.
