Cool... this is why I held off buying (thanks, Jack).
Same here. Thanks OP and Jack! Will pick up Man on Fire and maybe Day After Tomorrow.

If the 'average consumer' starts paying attention, the studios may just double-dip themselves into a situation where people don't buy the first release. I usually don't complain about dipping, but to do that with titles like this (just a few months out from the first release) shows that the initial ones were obvious rush-jobs just to get the DVDs out quickly.
That's fine. But studios better accept it if soon the only people buying the initial release of a new film are rental outlets. And consumers wait 6+ months either for a 2-disc set, or a price reduction on the first release.

i'm not sure these were "rush-jobs" bboisvert.
IIRC, weren't these out in other various regions even before the crappy bare bone r1 versions?

I held off on DAT and I,R since I figured better ones were due out. MOF is good enough for me now, how much more about th emaking of the film do I really wanna know?

None for me, gracias.
Double dipping is getting out of hand. Like one poster said, I may just wait on new titles now unless I really, really liked it (assuming I saw it in theaters, which I rarely do).
