Footloose UPC

For those who bought Footloose SCE this week - was there a UPC sticker on the case over the UPC label on the back?

Mine had one. And not only was it a pain in the ass to get off, I found the numbers differed.

I use DVD Profiler. When I put in the UPC on the sticker - 97360 53412 - nothing came up. But DVD Profiler did recognize the DVD when I entered the code on the case, under the sticker - 97360 53414. (Although there's scant info on it in the system yet.)

I bought mine at Circuity City.

I ordered mine from DDD, and it didn't have a sticker over the UPC (97360 53414).

Hmm... I wonder why they would do this?

And for clarity - the sticker wasn't on the shrinkwrap, it was on the case itself. But oh, how I wish it had been on the shrinkwrap! The sticker of course didn't come off cleanly, leaving some sticky crap behind. Eventually I figured out if I took some tape, pressed it on, and then rolled it off, it took the goo off.

a lot of times retailers will place their own UPC over the regular one to distinguish where it was purchased.

My high school drama teacher is one of the teenagers in that movie. She's in a phonebooth looking at Kevin Bacon. A really ugly, dark-haired fat girl. They filmed it down in Lehi or American Fark, which is Utah for those interested.

I can understand that. But then why would it be UNDER the shrinkwrap? Unless Circuit City is unwrapping DVDs, putting stickers on them, and then re-shrinkwrapping them... doesn't sound feasible.

Idea I just got - maybe it has something to do with the security device. My copy had a cardboard thing where the insert would go (there was no insert), about half the width of the case, with one of those printed circuit type stickers on it.

That's why every DVD owner should keep a bottle of Goo Gone around, available now at a fine retailer near you such as Wal-Mart and Target.

Or you could have just left the sticker where it was.
