Rocky Athology-Where is my bonus disc??

I ordered this set from DDD, and got it today. There is supposed to be a 6th bonus disc with this set containing a Stallone Biography.

http://www.mgm.com/title_title.do?ti...ar=XXXROCKYANT

Well, I didn't get it. Anyone get this? Anyone know why they weren't sent out?

Mine doesn't say anything about it.either When I placed this preorder, this set was going to have commentaries and a bonus disc. Then they dropped the commentaries, and I almost cancelled. But I hung on for the new transfers and the bonus disc. Now that doesn't even come with it, even though they say it does on their OWN WEBSITE. I just called DDD, and they have no idea what I am talking about, so evidently this wasn't included in any of them

There are more important things in my life then getting a Rocky Bonus disc, but this is false advertising.

First a crappy Rambo Trilogy re-issue. Now a crappy, barebones Rocky Set re-issue.

Are you sure the 6th disc isn't packaged with one of the movies? Look inside the case for ROCKY I or ROCKY V...

If you click on "Buy" from the MGM website, it takes you to the Best Buy link.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't notice that before. But it shouldn't matter. The bonus dvd description is on MGM's website, not Best Buy's. Nor does it say it needs to be purchased by Best Buy to get the disc.

I saw this in-store last wk(the Wherehouse), there was a sticker advertising the bonus disc on the box. So I guess some come with it, some don't? Sucks for those interested. I may just get Rocky 2 (if they are released seperately and if the transfer is noticeably better).

The subtitles were actually fixed in the late pressings of the original release set.

Its just pretty stupid of MGM all round really more and more dvds seem to do this advertise with loads of stuff and super sound and picture and all that, then they come out and they are nothing like the initial specs!

I guess dont own them and it is cheap, but come on to loose almost every single extra! thats beyond a joke!

Mines coming from Canada, so wonder whats up with the Canadian version then!

I was so ready to purchase this today until I heard there is no bonus disc and the image is cropped. Unfortunately I sold off my copies of Rocky !,3, and 4 months ago. Maybe MGM will get it right on the third try.
