Best Buy DOTD 9-15-12 $3.99 Titles
The Lookout
Supercop 3
The Crow: City of Angels
Have a feeling they won't last till the end of today, so get what you need NOW.
WARNING. The Lookout and Supercop 3 and The Crow: City Of Angels are ECHO BRIDGE (i.e, shitwad releases, aspect ratio CROPPED), so I don't recommend buying them.

Keep in mind that these are the low-grade "Echo Bridge" versions of the films. Both "The Lookout" (an excellent film) and "Supercop 3" are cropped from their original 2:35 aspect ratio to 1:78. I almost pulled the trigger on "The Lookout" until I checked out the reviews of this release.

They also have bonus RZ points in-store today. I assume 2X but I really don't know. She scanned something for me at the register...

I wasn't aware either. I only got The Crow, however. Jesus, can't a person just buy a fucking title without having to do rocket research. Echo Bridge is a shitwad company.
EDIT: I canceled my order for The Crow: City of Angels.

The Lookout and Equilibrium are proper AR with DTS-HD MA 5.1 sound.
Supercop is still cropped but has the proper DTS-HD MA 5.1 track created for the Dimension release.

I received 'The Lookout' y'day - it is NOT the Echo Bridge release but the original Miramax/Buena Vista 2007 release with the 2.40:1 AR. The UPC is a stickered one that goes 0-96009-01681-4 - a lookup on Google with this UPC points to the EB release but am confirming what I received is NOT. I was about to return the package even w/o opening it since I was so sure it would be the EB release (for the $3.99 price) - but BB came thru with a surprise this time. The original Miramax BD release has spectacular reviews on blu-ray.com
Thanks, OP

I decided to get the single disc Echo Bay release because it was cheap and I wanted the commentary. I would have paid triple if I knew I was getting this!
