Paramont Cover Arts?
I just got a bunch of DVD's from DDD from the Paramount buy 1 get 1 free and to my surprise like 80% of the dvds had different cover arts than the ones pictured at DDD or DVDAFICIONADO covers. Why is this? it doesnt have the "WS Paramount Collection" thingy. are these bootlegs or something? thats why its $3 per dvd? did Paramount do this to all their dvds?

They're probably not bootlegs; Paramount has, in fact, been changing the cover art on a vast number of their catalog releases with no change to the disc contents therein. ESCAPE FROM L.A., GREASE 2, Stephen King's GRAVEYARD SHIFT, and Stephen King's SILVER BULLET are just some of the recent ones I've noticed.

Yea a lot of titles are just getting repackaged. There will be a bunch more coming. Some are just getting repackaged to coincide with movie releases.

Most of these new Paramount covers just stink, especially the one for Nick Of Time when the previous cover was just so nice and perfect. However nothing can top Save The Last Dance's new artwork, that is a new low for stinky Paramount artwork. Most of the new artwork is worse than the original, can anybody point to any new improvements that Paramount has actually made with all these new covers.
