Was at my local Woolworth's store today and to my amazement saw this, now i know what is going on with paramount and co but the average joe dosen't!

Someone is going to be upset when they take this to the counter??

Found this funny actually...haven't corrected them in store yet

tiger roach · 12-03-2007, 08:38 PM

Fake BD's? WTF?

Wooly's should know better...

dpomp · 12-03-2007, 08:38 PM

so what's inside is it a regular DVD or a HDDUD?

turfman1964 · 12-03-2007, 08:39 PM

Looks like this is in england. Paramount is distrubuted by someone else over there is that right?

I'll take one. Can you pick up a copy for me?

CptGreedle · 12-03-2007, 08:42 PM

Wait a second. Where did that come from?
It isn't a BD so why is there a BD box? Is it empty?

Maybe it is a foreign release I don't know about. It does have £ and not $ on the sign.

scott87 · 12-03-2007, 08:44 PM

was just an empty case with the hd dvd sleeve scanned and put in it!

but this sort of things can out people off as its misleading

thought i would share with you all

CptGreedle · 12-03-2007, 08:47 PM

Oi!! I would go to them right now and tell them about this mistake, we don't want more upset people cause HD DVD can't keep their $h!+ together.

Micker · 12-03-2007, 08:52 PM

I bet it has LOSSLESS audio,

buckshot · 12-03-2007, 08:53 PM

so someone bought a bunch of bd cases, scanned the sleeves from the hd dvd and then put them on the shelves???? i'm guessing they don't have wrap on them, otherwaise how do you know they are empty?

this sounds like the store did this then.

CptGreedle · 12-03-2007, 08:55 PM

Why are there empty boxes on the shelves? Is it a policy of the store or something? And why can't they put them in the right box either?

Must say it looks nicer in the blu box though

i picked it up and had a look...they did it with the oceans 13 cases as well

but that was on both formats so didn't see it as a problem

I think anyone who knows anything about blu would do a double take if they saw that on the shelf. Keep us posted as to what they say when you go back.
