I'm currently on holiday in the homeland, the UK. Right now there are a lot of sales in the vein of "3 for £20".
Recently I picked up a UK copy of Ed Wood. That night, while looking at the back of the box, I was surprised to see that it proclaimed SINGLE LAYER FORMAT - for a two hour film with extras.
A day or two later, I came across Ed Wood in another sale - but on the back, this copy, although looking identical to the one I picked up, now claimed DUAL LAYER FORMAT.
Keeping my eyes open, I have found that both versions are knocking around, although apart from the layer designation, the discs look identical.
I think this is the only time I have ever seen a disc quietly available in two ways like this. If I had notice earlier, I would have picked up a dual layer copy, but how many people would have even noticed this?
Strange!
