I bought the wrong Star Wars, yippee!
 

I consider myself pretty intelligent when it comes to DVDs, however today Lucas and Co. were cleverly able to fool me. I'm in Circuit City and I see a Star Wars Trilogy box set with the classic art. Now I've never seen this before till now. I got pretty excited that I was buying the new set coming out Tuesday. I had to make sure though. The box has a sticker on it that says "Limited Edition", ok I'm good so far. It has a different UPC number and price than the silver Vader box set. Ok, everything looks to be in order. I get home do a little searching and what do you know I just seem to have the first double dip of Star Wars on DVD which I didn't even know existed till a few minutes ago. Thank god I didn't open it yet. Now I'm off to Circuit City to return my DVDs. Suckekeke indeed.

So this is what you got?

Same releases as the silver boxed set, minus the bonus disc.

At least you didn't open it. That re-release is pretty stupid though. I have a friend that did the exact same thing, thinking it was the OT.

yeah, the only thing great about it is the the original poster artwork on the sleeves.

That's the one. And when I went to return it, I had the same girl that rung me up just an hour before. It was a little weird to say the least.

I remember when that release was announced and the boxart shown, there were quite a few of us who thought this was the one, the one where Lucas redeemed himself. Only one more disappointment in a long line of them.

You can't buy releases early at Circuit City. If you try to ring up a new release the POS system will throw up a street date warning and prohibit the sale.

That really stinks. If they made the mistake of putting it out on the floor, they should bite the bullet and sell it. How dare they take the product from your hands and tell you to come back on Tuesday.

Don't worry Popcorn, you weren't the only one fooled by that stupid re-release. I've had quite a few customers think that boxset contained the original releases. Why use the original cover art if you're selling the Special Edition versions?

*sigh* I'm starting to think the same thing about DVDTalk Star Wars threads.
