As many of you know, Fox are releasing a single disc version of "The Day after Tomorrow" in the US. As of now there has been no official announcement regarding a possible 2-disc set, yet region 2 will get a single and a double disc set simultaneously.
Now it seems, that there'll be yet another Fox title that'll get a single discer in R1 only. There'll be a single disc version of "Garfield" with only an audio commentary and a few sneak peeks for other movies (wft?), whereas R2 will get a 2 disc SE packed with extras on the same day as the single disc set (Source: dvdtimes.co.uk) While I'm not really interested in this title, it's still somewhat annoying to see it happen again.
The unannounced double dip has been a particular specialty of Columbia, to the point where I don't feel like buying any new Columbia title at all on release date. I'm not talking about back-catalogue titles, I'm talking about new movies released for the first time on DVD (Monster/Underworld/Hellboy are fine examples). As somebody who actually does care about extras, I gotta say that it'd be a shame if the otherwise excellent Fox joined that club.
