KGK1958 Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 My lovely wife went to Blockbuster on Saturday to pick up "The Bourne Identity." Looking at the box, I noticed it was coded FF for full-frame. I was irritated with her for not getting the widescreen version...I thought I taught her better! I went back to the store and, much to my surprise, ALL the copies were full-frame. A search of the Blockbuster website shows that every store in a 20 mile radius of my house only stocks the full-frame version of the DVD. I'd at least like to make the choice. The only reason we tried Blockbuster is Netflix is taking forever to send this movie. Thanks for the opportunity to vent... Kevin Klipsch and McIntosh...a match made in heaven.

sb in SC Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Same here in my area, I had to settle for the full screen version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Peel Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 You'd think they would order the both version ones, idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddvj Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 That's what I was going to say...go buy it. Blockbuster sucks. And Bourne Identity was not a dumb movie it was kick-***! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancestorm Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Actually there was a petition started a while back about this very problem with Blockbuster. http://www.petitiononline.com/widedvd/petition.html I signed it months ago, but since they did not change I went to another local rental place that actually listens to the consumer. More consumers going elsewhere will quickly get Blockbuster's attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb in SC Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 I'll tell you why I go to block buster. I won a years worth of rentals (1 a week for 52 weeks) from a peel off game that Wendy's was doing a while back. When my year is over, I probably won't rent there as much.

Bulldawg Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 The answer is Netflix. No trips to the store, no late fees, no waiting in line, and cheaper if you rent more than a few titles a month - not to mention letterbox. I've been a subscriber for three years, and while there were struggles early on, I can say that this is a great service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
