Some people aren't into extras and want a movie-only version so that they can save a few bucks. What's wrong with that? Seriously, sometimes people bitch about the STUPIDEST things!

It's really not a stupid thing to complain about. When stores see that there is a one disc version and a two disc version they make the 2 disc like 5 or 6 dollars more even though the msrp is just a dollar or two more. Plus Columbia House will most likely not sell the 2 disc sets as enrollments since they will consider them special. If they would just release the two disc sets, then everyone can save a lot of money.

WB released Terminator 3 as a 2-disc only and it sold for $15 on release week. Matrix 2 and 3 were also 2-disc only and sold for $15 on their release weeks.
FOX released Star Wars as a 2-disc only and it sold for $15 on release week.
For some reason, retailers seem to think that the bonus disc is worth $8 more than the movie disc, even though the retail price is only a difference of 1 or 2 dollars.
The reason people are complaining is because they used to be able to get 2-disc releases for $15 in stores, now all of a sudden it's $23.

Only positive as it has cut down my buying of some titles I was on the fence about.

Batman Begins
1-disc $28.95

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
1-disc $28.95
2-disc $30.95
War of the Worlds (2005)
1-disc $29.95
2-disc $39.95 (this is a rare example, it seems)
Constantine
1-disc $28.95
2-disc $30.95
So, yes, there are numerous instances of this case, and the fact that they're not as heavily discounted is what ticks most of us off. I wouldn't mind paying the $2-3 extra to get the 2-disc version if they would just discount them the same amount.
