Talladega Nights how to tell which version you have?

[aristotles]

I just got Talladega Nights from Amazon.com brand new but I was worried that I might have received the wrong version.

The disk says "Not for Sale".

It has extras and a PCM soundtrack but the writing has me concerned.

That is the PG-13 version that came with the PS3, not the unrated version that was released individually.

Very strange that it says Not For Sale. That would indicate the PS3 disc. But theres no reason why Amazon would be selling that. Unless you bought from a third party on their site?

I bought it from Amazon.com directly under the understanding that it was new and it had the factory seals on it.

It has two rings, BVDL written on those rings and the listed features for the retail version but for some reason it has "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY NOT FOR SALE" and "Playstation 3 Compatible" on the label side.

This is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps Sony messed up the label on some of the retail version runs?

pics or it didnt happen

Yeah, my version (which I bought at Circuit City) also says "Not for Sale" and it has all the extras.

Does the PQ look better than the PS3 version? I'm so glad that at launch I decided to try other blu-rays after watching TN. I thought it looked a little rough.

BVDL means it was pressed in a Sony plant and that it's a dual layer disc (50 GB). BVSS is used for the single layer (25 GB) discs. Sounds like the wrong disc art was printed on a batch of the retail release.

So I checked the length and it's just a bit over two hours counting the credits and whatnot. So are you saying that I actually have the unrated version? It does say it has extras. So I have the proper disc just not the proper paper placed on the bluray itself? So I have the 50 not the 25?

[Iamspartacus]

Anyone know? Thanks guys.

Everyone who gets a disc with the PG-13/promo label should spend 2 minutes verifying the disc's contents via their player before freaking out.

Mine has the PG-13/promo label and the disc itself features the longer Unrated cut and all the extras.

[Iamspartacus]

But how do you tell? I put it in and it says play movie or the other options but it doesn't tell me if its the unrated version or the pg13 one.

Pg13 one is 108 mins and unrated 122 mins.

Sony are releasing a few anniversary editions in various territories, (Jerry Maguire has popped up for pre-order in the UK), and as much as I like Talladega Nights, this is a strange one.

[Patsfan123]

Could be in conjunction with a UHD release like The DaVinci Code?

The link for Amazon no longer works, but it is up on Best Buy for $14.99.

I discovered this SAME problem I think in 2008 or '07 when I first got MY copy of TN's. I'll tell you what I was told then. The ORIGINAL pressing of this movie used the PROMOTIONAL disc label on BOTH the PG-13 & Unrated versions. If you have good eyes and not an old man like me......and find the DL on the rings......be assured it IS the UNRATED version.
The EASIEST way to tell, insert the disc, begin playing the movie, then pause or if you have (as most do) a DISPLAY feature on your player....check the RUNNING TIME of the movie. If it's 2:01:26, you HAVE the UNRATED version. A shorter running time, its the PG-13 version. From what I'm told (unless a 3rd party has done a ....switcheroo) the contents of the disc should match what is described on the case and insert.

I actually never picked this up on Blu, but there is a copy of the PS3 promo disc that I'm always tempted to grab at an Antique mall over by my work for $3.

I never bought the retail Blu because I hate the Unrated version. How can something be called "Unrated and UNCUT" when it REMOVES material that was present in the theatrical version? I bought the Unrated DVD when it came out thinking it would just be a bit of added footage, but they actually removed my favorite scenes and replaced it with material I didn't even find funny.

Looks like a new release. Not sure how much, if any, new content is included.
The name alone might have me sold.

[Patsfan123]

Looks like it's going to be a worldwide release based on the subs. And the run time adds up to the 2 cuts PG-13:108 UR:122
