I suppose this has been discussed alot, but I'm out of the loop. What pissed me off is seeing 4 versions of 8 Mile, WS/P&S/Censored/Uncensored. Why would anyone buy an uncensored 8 Mile or The Osbournes? For those with ears or beliefs delicate enough to require censored versions, why the hell are you watching Eminem or Ozzy? Surely it's not so you can present these role models to your kids without offending them? It can't be because Wal-Mart demanded it, they sell the uncensored versions. I can see selling P&S versions so you can double-dip when the consumers smarten up, or upgrade their TV's. I think a 2 disc version of 8 Mile wouldn't cost them any more than this silliness: disc 1 with WS uncensored, disc 2 with P&S censored (for the people who don't care). Or at least put the IMO superfluous packaging $$ of multiple versions into a better WS uncensored package, the way the material was meant to be seen.
[I don't know why I got so ticked off about this, just seeing Best Buy selling 4 versions of 8 Mile made me realise how stupid this business gets sometimes.]
