If the 'average consumer' starts paying attention, the studios may just double-dip themselves into a situation where people don't buy the first release. I usually don't complain about dipping, but to do that with titles like this (just a few months out from the first release) shows that the initial ones were obvious rush-jobs just to get the DVDs out quickly.
That's fine. But studios better accept it if soon the only people buying the initial release of a new film are rental outlets. And consumers wait 6+ months either for a 2-disc set, or a price reduction on the first release.

i'm not sure these were "rush-jobs" bboisvert.
IIRC, weren't these out in other various regions even before the crappy bare bone r1 versions?

I held off on DAT and I,R since I figured better ones were due out. MOF is good enough for me now, how much more about th emaking of the film do I really wanna know?

None for me, gracias.
Double dipping is getting out of hand. Like one poster said, I may just wait on new titles now unless I really, really liked it (assuming I saw it in theaters, which I rarely do).
