The special features are from the DVDs, but it's not all of them, use DVDCompare to see what's left off

They did this also for the Alien movie (for its name, came out two weeks ago and is gone). I passed on it, and was glad. I did get the A-Team Blu with the free ticket to see it. Goodthing, A-Team was better.

I wonder how many pre-order cancellations they got for that one.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to gripe, but kind of insulted that Amazon just dropped the price on 21 Jump Street to $17.99 just 3 days after release.

Greatly defeats the purpose the pre-order price guarantee when not even a week passes for the price to drop.

Yeah, I hate when that happens.

Amazon has kind of been on a sucky streak for me recently. The discounts are feeble right now.

I emailed them about 21JS and got a refund of the difference. They replied within the hour.

I would try and contact customer service, they're pretty easy to convince with stuff like this (especially through the "Chat" thingie).

EDIT: Didn't see your reply, argh923.
