edit: They've also corrected the listing for the time being and have stopped selling the combo pack due to complaints about all of us receiving the non-combo pack.

they sent me a replacement, still the 1 disc, so I have 2 copies. I am returning 1.

Cool beans. $20 promo was nice!

I think in the future I'll call in. I seem to get better results when I call than I do when I e-mail. Not sure if it's because they think that if you've taken the time to call, you're REALLY pissed(?) When I've called, they've taken care of me. When I write, I either get the brush off or get a "less lucrative" outcome. In this case, they've refunded me the cost of the movie. Essentially, I got a free copy of "Hall Pass." As "Hall Pass" wasn't a "must-have" for me, I would've rather had a $10 or $20 credit (as opposed to the $8 refund I received).

Thanks Amazon for sending me the 1 disc version of Hall Pass... lol

I also received the single disc edition, I'm going to contact Amazon.

Forgot to respond to this. They ended up just refunding the price I paid for the movie. I should've called instead of e-mailing. I seem to get better results that way. I e-mailed re: getting screwed by their 3rd party trade-in vender too (new copy of "To Kill A Mockingbird" dvd was supposed to net $49.50, they said it wasn't in new condition and have mailed it back to me). All I got out of that was a $10 promo credit.

Save for their labor practices, I like Amazon a lot. I don't understand why there's so much variability with how they handle customer dissatisfaction though. Maybe it's a good thing, they have the power to really take care of you (instead of only being authorized to do a "set" thing). It sucks when you come out on the short end though.

Anyway, still haven't decided if I should trade this in new (only worth $7.50) or keep it. It's one that doesn't show up here on B-r.com...the single-disk version of the enlarged edition. Can't remember how much I liked it. May have to re-rent and watch again first.

Anyone know why there are two different extended editions with two different slipcovers?

Any difference to them?

[fallofparadise]

I'd like to know the difference too. I have the enlarged version but I saw a newer version at Walmart this evening.

Just a diffrent slip

And it also has a UV digital copy of the film. The original release didn't.

I picked up this version of the movie at WM today, and despite what it says on the slip, there is no DVD in the package. This seems like what you guys were talking about earlier.

[Show spoiler]

That is indeed the Walmart exclusive. It's odd that the DVD version was not included even though it indicates that it does on the slipcover

Must've just been extra slipcovers at WB warehouse.
