I didn’t actually get to speak to him. It was in the book drop with a full page note written in all caps about how THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I should have kept it, but it got misplaced when I moved to a different desk a week later.

Sorry, **PlainJane** , I can’t get behind your complaint either. If a blu-ray movie is in the box (which is blue, indicating it’s the blu-ray version of the movie), it follows logically that the high-end movie in the box is the blu-ray copy. The dvd is just thrown in as an extra. Your friend basically bought you the wrong copy of the movie for your setup.

Heeeeee!! Imagine ?

" I would have complained about the botched aspect ratio, lousy sound mix, derivative sub-plot and lame ending but I can’t \* because you people put the movie on the wrong side !!! \* ".
