I preordered the DTS version of IwtV back in March from Buy.com and received it today one week before it is supposed to street.

But as I look at the package it says nothing about DTS and it includes both the full-screen and matted widescreen.

I have the feeling that they sent me the old version, but can anyone confirm it before I call them? The UPC on this is 85391-31762.

Thanks,

-Brett B

The new DTS version only has the widescreen version, along with the new commentary and documentary. I recieved it about 3-4 weeks ago. My review below includes the new cover.

Return the one you recieved to buy.com...

ive had similar problems last month, ordered 12 monkey's CE and got 12 monkey's DTS and they i didnt get my return postage slip for over a month! I kept calling and they say they mailed it each time i called then finally a csr said that there was trouble and they didnt mail it till 2 weeks after i requested a rma, and finally 2 weeks+ after that i got the ups packing label to send. ugh... i wouldnt really mind if they told me the truth and werent as rude to me over the phone. Got 2 csr's with bad robotic attitudes.

Ok, I think I got nailed by this one as well. Just realizing it two months later (it's a long story).

Buy.com (supervisor) is being an a-hole about this and I know I ordered the DTS version. It was $14.99. It was March, around the time that a $10 coupon (no min, I'm guessing) was available. I know we had discussed this title in the DVD Bargains area, but I can't find any old threads over there, as I'm guess they've been archived off somewhere.

Can anyone concur on any of this? Thanks...

Wow. I am surprised this thread is still here.
I ordered mine with a $10 off coupon some time in April or May. I knew that I ordered the DTS version and even had a printout of the item description page for it. When I received it I just had a feeling that I had the wrong one which is why I posted this thread originally.

Well after determining that I had the wrong one I called Buy.com support. It took some time for me to convince the girl that I had been sent the wrong version because the stock number for the one I ordered no longer existed. She sent me a new one with free 2-day air, and said that they would send a pre-paid label for the old one.

After two weeks I called and said that I had not received the label. They told me to continue waiting. Another week and a half passed and I finally received it.
