something funny happend - Blu-ray Forum

pixler · 12-30-2010, 08:39 AM

So, I went to Best Buy and they were having a sale on select Blu Ray titles. I picked up Talladega Nights unrated and some other ones. Well, when I got home, I opened up Talladega Nights unrated and it was the wrong disc! It was Talladega Nights but it was the PG-13 version and on the disc it said, "For promotional use only, not for sale" so it was a demo of the movie or something. So I thought that was kinda weird and funny. I have yet to take it back though. Has this happened to anyone else, with any movie?

Nope.

I suggest you take it back ASAP to get your money back.

Strange stuff like this happens a lot,I was going to make a thread about Amazon a few months ago,but could not be arsed.

Has anyone come across this little carry on ?

I have recieved bestbuy and wallmart exclusive versions of titles ordered from Amazon,not there market place.

I have also recieved titles from amazon that have had Blockbuster and bestbuy price tags on them.

I don't live in the states and theres no bestbuys or wallmarts here.

closest thing to wallmart here is ASDA because they own the bugger.

Its either Amazon buys exstock from other chains or when they close down they buy them up cheap.

either that or some customers return items that they never got from amazon in the first place and amazon does not check.

I purchased The Incredible Hulk from Walmart on release day, and it had a blank dvd-r instead of the Blu-ray disc.

In this scenario Best Buy and Blockbuster put their own tags on the discs had too many and sent them back to the distributor uinopened. Then Amazon placed an prder fot those certain titles to replenish their own stock and you were one of the lucky Amazon customers to get one of those.
I've seen this happen with CDs when I used to work in a record store many moons ago when records were still a popular format

Hasn't happened to me, but I have received a 3 disc Blu with one disc missing.

Sounds like you got the Talladega Nights that was bundled with the launch PS3 way back when. Kind of cool

Deciazulado · 12-30-2010, 09:04 AM

PS3 Promo PG-13 version

General release Unrated version
