I'm glad that they're working out for you. None of the titles that you mentioned are of more than passing interest to me. I would've picked up Casino, except for the 2-sided issue. I have interest in "The Deer Hunter", "The Sting", & "To Kill A Mockingbird" which are coming out later this year, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they're all going to be flippers also, which means that I'll have take a pass on those titles also.
Universal has screwed up too many titles, and they're track record is a mess even on major titles "Jurassic Park", "Back to the Future", "ET", "Schindler's List", etc...,etc..., so I'm always hesitant to pick up their discs, let alone when they're double-sided. There have been countless threads about double-sided discs (Especially Universal's) skipping. My biggest problem with this, is that I rarely watch new purhcases within the 30 day return window. More often than not, I'm simply not in the mood for that particular film, and it goes on the shelf until I am. With Universal discs, I feel obligated to watch it immediately, and in that case I'll just rent.
I want to give them my money, but I can't justify it.
