Don't know how they're doing it with "Bandits"; for a longer movie they'd have to put one version on each side.
FYI, Bandits is a DVD-18, with a version of the movie on each side. Supplements are identical on both sides of the disc, aside from differences in the AR of some of the supplements. In other words, it is similar to glueing both versions of the Mummy Returns or Jurassic Park together.
I don't think Bandits is a highly anticipated release. If they can do DVD-18 with this one, then I don't see why it isn't feasable for many other releases.
I still very much prefer dual releases if there must be a P&S option. I don't think A.I. would have been a nice of a package if the felt they had to cram two versions into a single release. I think many other releases would be pretty barebones as well.
Contrary to what has been reported, all Wal-Marts I have been to have carried both versions of titles, so it must not be that confusing to most consumers. The self space allocated for those titles is usually the same as for titles with a single release as well, so I don't think that is the issue either. This territory is about as J6P as you can get coupled with a pretty small DVD section, so if these aren't issues here, I don't know where they would be.
