It seems that the last few weeks have seen an increase of stores that stock only the fullscreen version of some dual releases. My local Wal-Mart only stocked the fullscreen version of both New York Minute and Taking Lives! And yes, I looked at every copy. I sure hope that this is a very short lived trend! They have never not carried at least some copies of the widescreen version of any new release. They have done this with catalog releases though. Have any of you noticed any similar trends at your local retailers?
Also, it has been reported that some stores, including some Best Buy stores, are not carrying both versions of the new Predator 2 CE. There are two versions available, and it is not clearly marked on the front of the package which is which. You should look for the aspect ratio on the back cover to make sure you get the correct one. Frankly, I am ashamed that Fox would even release a Collector’s Edition in fullscreen! It’s even worse that they didn’t clearly label the package.
