Wild Things DVD

I found Wild Things at Wal-Mart for 5.50 but I noticed it is Full Screen edition. But when I went to Best Buy I found the same DVD with the same exact UPC but it said FullScreen and WideScreen. Does anybody know if the one that says Full Screen was just a typo and that they forgot to put that the Wide Screen is also on the same DVD. Or is it that they actually are two different versions with the same UPC.

I believe the DVD has a "Pan and Scan" option, where it takes the wide screen version of the movie and makes it "fit" on your screen.

According to this thread http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=338370
there appears to be two different versions. I would assume that your copy is full screen only.

Walmart sells a number of CTS and Fox titles that are exclusively packed just for them. Many of these are P&S only.

Thanks for the replies. I probably just keep the one that is wide screen. I rather pay the extra money knowing that I get the wide screen version.
