The Graduate Blu-ray DVD - Blu-ray Forum

Mr.White · 09-16-2009, 09:27 PM

I'm pissed, I bought "The Graduate" Blu-ray from Barnes and Noble and I got the regular non-anamorphic DVD when I'm supposed to get the 40th ann DVD with the special features, it's bad enough that the Blu-ray lacks them but for Fox to screw me like thats wrong, since everybody else got the 40th ann. DVD with their blu ray!

I'm gonna email Fox on this issue!

Hmmm,

I recently bought the Graduate on Blu Ray from Bj's for $9.99.

I never thought about even looking at the DVD that's in there (since I have the Blu.) I guess I'll go check it out.

You're that pissed over a DVD when you have the blu-ray? I would say I feel your pain but I honestly don't like DVD that much. I will say good luck and I hope they accommodate you.

The 40th Ann. DVD had an anamorphic picture had the extras including commentaries, that's what I'm pissed about!

I got a DVD of the 1999 version! Had an eco-case too!

I bought it on B&N online, I guess I can try to take it back to a B&N store, but it will probably have the same problem.

But you never know!

The one my friend got a few months back DID NOT come in an eco case and came with the 40th Ann DVD.

Yea take it back and there is no reason to be pissed over a dvd because you have something better than that.

Did someone already make this joke:

Yeah, well I didn't mind until the blu ray looked worse than the DVD...

For those who bought it recently: does it still come with old DVD instead of 40th Anniversary? I want to buy it but only with 40th Anniversary.

Sadly, the newer pressings seem to have the old 1999 DVD with no special features and it's non anamorphic, and to top it all of it comes in an eco-case!

The first pressings HAD the newer 40th Ann DVD included and NO eco case!

Well, that's just idiotic. One of the main points of them even including DVD copies with a lot of their recent releases is because they house all the special features. It allowed them to release the blu-rays bare bones. They took a short cut basically. So replacing the DVD with a bare bones version is counter productive. I'm going to have to check my copy when I get home. It never even occurred to me to check the DVD.

Wow, got my disc. 2 security stickers, seals, cellophane, environmentally friendly (read: crap case which doesn't protect the contents and is designed and thought-up by overpaid ****ing idiots).

Opened it and yes, the DVD is the 40th with these contents:

You'd think with all the annoying packaging they'd make an effort to mention the extras. Bunch of lazy uncaring idiots. I hope Warner get MGM's back catalogue.

This gets a release in Europe soon and the film's owner -StudioCanal- will hopefully get their packaging right (they always do).

Very pleased with my USA release but would of appreciated some accurate packaging obviously.

Thanks again for the comments from everyone

Thanks, but I want to hear from someone who bought it in November or late October.

Antiochus · 01-21-2010, 04:45 AM

Does it STILL come with the wrong DVD?

avstraq · 02-03-2010, 04:43 PM

Sorry to bump this thread up, but did anyone purchase this title recently? Does it still have the 40th Anniversary DVD included? Thanks.

It's $9.99 on Amazon right now.

I just got The Graduate blu ray/dvd new for 3.99 plus tax from my local grocery store . It says Movies U Buy on the back. My question is this. I really want the special features that are supposed to be included on the dvd disc but the back of the package just says: Disc one blu ray includes: Full length feature Film, Lossless Audio , Smart Menu Technology and Disc two includes: Full length Feature film in standard definition, Audio 5.1DTS, 5.1 Dolby Surround and Subtitles. There is no mention of any special features on the dvd disc. From reading the posts here it looks like some people who picked this up when it first came out got the dvd with the 40th anniversary special features and others just got the dvd with no special features. The front of my blu ray does not say blu ray & dvd but the back lists them both as included. It does say it's widescreen in 2.35:1 and the year is listed as 2009. Realize that 3.99 is still a good price for both a blu ray and dvd copy of the film but wish I knew if the special features are on the dvd before opening the package. I love special features and do not buy blu rays without them. If anyone has bought this same one from Movies you Buy and could provide som insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Open it and find out -- either way you only payed $3.99 for a great movie!
