This time you failed. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

does this DVD have a slipcover, that may have accidently been slipped over the 1-disc version? because this is what i see on the back of the 1-disc DVD.

No. There was nothing over it.

The back lists all of the special features in place of the commentary thing.

What's the UPC?

I found the back cover for UPC 024543-526155 on DVD Profiler. DVD Profiler lists it as a single disc:

DVD Profiler lists 4 versions:
1. The version scarredgod posted (1-disc). Disc ID = (not listed)
2. The version I posted (1-disc). Disc ID = 89A5432258700F4D
3. "Street Kings: Digital Copy Special Edition". IMHO, this is a one disc with a digital copy, NOT a "2-disc". Disc ID of the main feature = F6F6125DBC2ABC02
4. The Blu-Ray release

What's curious is, if we are to trust the Disc IDs listed in DVD Profiler, they appear to be different discs. If they were the same, I would imagine they would be the same disc ID.

That back cover is strange. The 2-disc with all the extras lists a DISC TWO: Digital Copy etc under the Special Features on the back, while the 1-disc I've seen only lists a commentary under Special Features.

This wouldn't be the first time a company has made a mistake listing features and what not on the back cover that isn't on the disc....
Who here remembers Halloween H2O? It had an audio commentary listed on the back of it's cover, but it was NOT on the disc! Took them a long time to ever correct it with later pressings too!
Also, there are a bunch of Paramount and Disney reissues which claim on their back covers that the disc is anamorphic 16:9 enhanced, but they are not....

So I just rented this today and noticed the same thing. The one disc had all the special features printed on the back except for the digital copy. It only has the commentary. I'd definitely try to get Fox to send you a disc from the 2-disc set with the features, it's their F'up.

Studios do this all the time. It's terrible, but it's the truth. I'm sorry it happened to you.

The real question, however, is what you were doing buying Street Kings. ;)

This is a bullshit practice, in my opinion. All because they want to charge extra for that useless second disc.

I've always thought the "digital copy" was a scam anyway.
