But Universal lost the sale to me on Scarface for the time being. I want to replace my original Scarface DVD with the horrible transfer, but I want both the 1932 and the 80s version. I will not pay extra for a crap box and money clip though. They need to release the original Scarface separately ASAP.

personally I buy dvds for the content on the discs, I could care less about cover art, inserts, what kind of case it comes in, or whether it comes with extra shot glasses, bookends or whatever, besides that stuff just drives the cost of the dvd up

In all honesty you're paying a $2-6 of $ extra just for the box. Yeah, that's outrages.

Is someone really gonna shell out the extra cash for some stupid pasties and "Showgirls" shot glasses? Are they really? . . . really?
