Annoyed with Fast Five packaging

[fertacrit]

Ok. So the Fast Five packaging is really confusing and stupid. First there is the DVD + Blu + DC in a DVD size box for $24.99. Then there is the Blu + DVD + DC in the Bluray size box for $19.99, Both versions are the extended cut. I saw this at Target and Wal-Mart. I belive BB is the same way. Is it me or is this just stupid. I know there are more important things in the world to worry about, but it is kind of annoying that they did that. This is the first time I have ever seen that. I will be getting theBluray box (because ALL my BR is in the blue plasitc sleeker style) But then it is cheaper too. Am I the only one this bothers? Supid distributers.

1. Why is this in the 3D Forum?

2. I will never complain about getting more choices.

3. Especially when my preferred choice is $5 cheaper.

Um, this is the 3D forum.

Could a mod please move this to the correct forum?

Disney does this for almost all of their big releases, Universal is starting to follow suit. As far as I can see, it is done for people who want it to fit in with their current DVD collection, but get the BR for when they eventually upgrade (yes, many people still have not upgraded). It definitely also helps in a Trojan Horse style tactic as well.

"Hey, I already own 7 Blu-Rays in these DVD combo packs, might as well get a player."
