You guys who got anamorphic YFs from Best Buy:

Were your YS discs separately shrink wrapped inside the case?

Or were they unshrinkwrapped like the other 7 discs.

Thanks!

My copy from Best Buy is anamorphic.

Yellow text on the spine, no separate shrink-wrapping.

There seems to be no method to this madness... other than to stick away from Costco, I suppose.

Sorry to those with the old discs, and good luck on finding a better set!

My copy from Wal*Mart is anamorphic; shrink-wrapped and yellow lettered on the spine. . .

A little musical number for those with old copies. Hopefully, Fox will be helpful in exchanging your copies, but for all we know we'll get a deleted scene from HOTWP1:

"Fox, will you exchange?"

"No no no no!"

"Will you refund?"

"No no no no!"

"Will you re-press?"

"No no no no!"

LOL, John. Good adaptation there. I just kicked off my viewings of the boxset tonight with History of the World.

It's just ridiculous that I need to pay $10 more to buy this at Best Buy just because Fox sent Costco bad batches. And they still haven't responded to my email.

What? John gets laughs for changing a couple of words from HotW but my Danny Kaye tribute gets ignored? I thought somebody would have at least tried to write the next verse. I thought HTF members were much more creative than this.

Regards,

Joe

What is Best Buy's return policy?


I took back my copy today. After thirty minutes of trying to explain what the problem was they went to the shelf and got me a new copy. They opened it in the store to check and see if this one had the same problem. It did. They got another off the shelf and it too had the same problem. There were three other copies still there, they opened all three and all three had the old disc. They went on and gave me my money back then.
