Trading Places SE? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

BubbleGumUK · 09-30-2002, 03:47 PM

I was gonna pick up the recent edition, but seeing as a few people bemoaned the fact that none of the recent interviews or any extras were on this title, I held off.

Then a thought struck me: If Paramount just threw out a sub-standard edition of "Grease" with news that a better set will be out 2004, would it not be possible that another release could be in store for "Trading Places" 20th Anniversary next Christmas 2003?

Even though I own Trading Places and fidn it to be a fantastic movie, there is nearly zero chance this'll ever get a SE. Grease has a massive cult following, Trading PLaces doesn't.

Don't expect a SE anytime, um, ever.

If there's not going to be an SE of Trading place, I refuse to buy a movie only DVD at 18$ or whatever it costs at Best Buy. I'll wait till it goes down to 10$, or I find it used somewhere. Only full featured DVD's are worth 18$ to me nowadays, no matter how good the movie is.

Well... if I recall correctly, a year ago Paramount discs like this one (ex. Airplane!) were selling for about $25. At least Paramount has wised up a bit and lowered the prices on these barebone embarrassments.

Paramount is still the most retarded studio as far as DVDs are concerned...

Paramount bare bones - $24.99

MGM bare bones - $9.99
