I was interested in renting Monster-in-Law which comes out on 8/30/05
but noticed there was a separate Bonus DVD listed on Netflix. I looked
this DVD up on Amazon and DVD Empire and there's not a word about it
being 2 DVDs.
I then wondered if Netflix was playing games by splitting a 1-DVD
release into 2 DVDs or if Amazon and DVD Empire were wrong. After
looking further, I found a couple sites that list this release as 2
DVDs. I found 1 online review and buried near the end it mentioned 2
DVDs. It almost seems you have to visit 4 or more sites and scan every
word to find out something as simple as how many DVDs are included in
a package.
This raises a few questions:
- Does Netflix or Blockbuster ever take a single DVD release with a
movie and bonus features on the same disc and have the manufacturer
split it into 2 DVDs to make it 2 rentals? In other words, can you
safely assume if you see a Bonus DVD listed for a movie that it
must've been a 2-DVD release?
- Does Netflix or Blockbuster rent exclusive store-only DVDs such as
what Best Buy or Circuit City sometimes offers or ones like the 9th
disc from the Alien Quadrilogy? (I couldn't find it on Netflix.)
- Never having used Blockbuster, does Blockbuster rent Bonus DVDs the
same way Netflix does so it always counts as 2 rentals?
