If you loose customer's trust you cant even run your business. Same in the case of <a href="http://www.mychoicevideo.com/" rel="nofollow">DVD rental</a> business try to provide what you have told to the customer.

I know for certain now I will not buy this or any other Universal Movie. Just my way of protesting the BS.<br /><br />I test drive a car before I buy it. I look at a house before I buy. And I watch the DVD, and all the features before I buy! If I'm going to buy a DVD I'm going to be damn sure it has re-watchability!<br /><br />-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-29217177819446831912011-01-11T08:49:09.406-07:002011-01-11T08:49:09.406-07:00@jonathan - I can understand why they use the &quo...@jonathan - I can understand why they use the "rental disc", it probably does help get people to buy the disc.

Hopefully it doesn't become the standard.<br /><br />Has anyone seen this with Netflix movies yet?

But then again, I haven't been in a movie rental store since early 2004, and I've never rented a DVD. Once VHS went out, and we switched to DVD, Netflix became the obvious better alternative to the movie store. But anyway, I think rental editions of movies without the special features is lame. If it's going to have less features, it should cost less to rent accordingly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-89500056592837419902011-01-01T01:48:19.466-07:002011-01-01T01:48:19.466-07:00@JJ Hendricks: Thanks.

I'm actually thinking of picking up a used/previously viewed DVD copy of the same movie you rented (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) and see what happens with it. Something else I'm wondering is when they started doing what you've experienced with the DVD's. Hey, that could be something else for you to track with your site :)Commodore Computer Clubhttp://www.commodorecomputerclub.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-20865744285538078132010-12-31T13:24:06.085-07:002010-12-31T13:24:06.085-07:00More and more DVD and Blu-Rays are like this now.

I bet you get the rental version. The studios don't want to encourage buying used movies and I'm sure Netflix and RedBox don't buy regular copies to sell.JJ Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255138459888881579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-81813272701228441442010-12-30T23:34:43.203-07:002010-12-30T23:34:43.203-07:00Well that just sucks.

I haven't rented a movie in years, but reading this just inspires me not to rent any movies. <br /><br />I wonder if this is wide spread on all DVD's?! Another question I would have would be, what happens when rental places sell used and/or previously viewed copies of movies now? Do we get stuck with this lame version.
