BACK TO THE FUTURE Corrected DVDs

After the Universal fiasco involving the mis-framing of two of the BACK TO THE FUTURE films in their Box Set from last December, I understand they corrected the problem and re-issued the set with a code or symbol on the box to signify it WAS a corrected re-issue. Does anyone know what the symbol or code is that Universal put on the new boxes?

Wow ... I had no idea S, R and H were vowels. Whoever is teaching you how to play scrabble is cheating you. =)

Off topic...hope to get an answer before the innevitable lock...

Are vowels the only letters you use "an" before? I always said a/an in conjunction with the letters like this:

AN A
A B
A C
A D
AN E
AN F
A G
AN H
AN I
A J
A K
AN L
AN M
AN N
AN O
A P
A Q
AN R
AN S
A T
A U
A V
A W
AN X
A Y
A Z

Just whatever sounds (to me) phonetically correct.

That's how I do it too. "An u" just sounds wrong to me, as does "a m".

From here:
Use an in place of a when it precedes a vowel sound, not just a vowel. That means it's "an honor" (the h is silent), but "a UFO" (because it's pronounced yoo eff oh). This confuses people most often with acronyms and other abbreviations: some people think it's wrong to use "an" in front of an abbreviation (like "MRI") because "an" can only go before vowels. Poppycock: the sound is what matters. It's "an MRI," assuming you pronounce it "em ar eye."
Oh, and back on-topic, the code on the corrected BTTF sets is "V2".

I agree: it is the sound that matters.
