I have a feeling this was asked before and maybe I am blind.....

EDIT: I still saw them on the shelves at Best Buy today. My guess is if they are nowhere to be found at your local store that it is because all their copies have been bought.

I'd hate to see this turn into another Back to the Future debacle, where corrected versions didn't appear on store shelves till a couple of years later.

And any news on an official word from MGM or whoever fucked up?
Thanks!

You'd probably be better off ordering it from the States. By the time an exchange program is set up, you return your disc, and receive the replacement, who knows how much time could've lapsed. Not to mention that they may not even have made new pressings yet.
Yeah, definitely order it up from the U.S. I've already done the same and will return my store-bought copy tomorrow or over the weekend.

The case claimed 10 deleted scenes, but about half of the copies actually had 21 deleted scenes.

Circuit City had nothing, and Borders didn't even have it, which is shocking considering they carry mostly everything despite charging MSRP. However, a friend of mine went to the local Best Buy this week and said they had it in stock. I NEED this DVD, badly.

Yeah i guess i'll order it from Amazon.com. It won't be that much pricier, about 12$ more with the conversion and shipping...

But anyways, the savings there makes up for the conversion and shipping...
