Is this a sign of the apocalypse?

Even weirder is that they got unrated on DVD but R-rated on VHS. Hmmm, maybe they feel that DVD consumers have more sophisticated tastes? Of course, if that was the case, they'd be in widescreen! (yup, they're Pan-and-Scan).

As this may be a policy change at Blockbuster, moving the discussion to the Store forum.

I hope this does not grow into X-Rated titles being rented. I take my kids to BB to rent a movie and the pictures on the front of some of the DVDs are very inappropriate for younger kids. I would have to stop taking them to BB and just pick up a DVD for them.

I think it's safe to say that you'll never see X-Rated titles at Blockbuster Video.......

I believe I received a mailer from Blockbuster advertising the Unrated American Pie 2 DVD. That struck me as pretty odd.

I can't remember what their policy was. Wasn't it their policy that they would not carry NC-17 videos, but would carry unrated videos (with a parental warning sticker on the front)?

Should there be any surprise that they are carrying the Unrated DVD?

The Blockbuster corporate policy is not necessarily followed by each and every store. I've seen American Psycho [unrated] at several BBs. So this is nothing new.
