When I was buying Raging Bull today... #191320

When I was buying Raging Bull today at Circuit City (I was there to purchase the Sopranos 5th season) I noticed at the counter that it was only $9.99. I knew it wasnt the two disc special edition, but it was the 2005 release in widescreen, so i thought about it and bought it.

When I opened it up at home, I saw that the insert wasnt there, it was just the disc, and that it. I wonder, how can a store (especially a national chain) get away with selling a DVD without all of the material? Im sure that if i paid the original price, the insert would be there.

Obviously, it is legal, since it is being done, but how any why is this happening?


Bart, Is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family? No. Well suppose you got a large starving family, is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them? Uh-uh. And what if your family don't like bread, they like cigarettes? I guess thats ok. Now what if instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away. Would that be a crime Bart?

Simply put, many new DVDs are not making inserts.

Correct. I bought the 2-disc special edition and I got a booklet in mine

Some do and some don't. I know each of my 2 Disc Special Editions of GoodFellas, The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, and Scarface (1983) didn't come with inserts. It doesn't really matter, though. It's not like the insert is that important. :rolleyes:


Hey, how's it going?

Scarface came with an insert for me. Problem was, it was a shitty Def Jam ad for Scarface.

Did you get yours in the box set, DV? I got mine in that one. Maybe that's why. But if it was a shitty Def Jam ad, I don't really care for it.

Well, there are some DVDs I just wouldn't care for an insert (IE ones who just list the chapters) and some I would like to have them with (IE any special eddition with a booklet, like Pul Fiction or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. They both had really nice inserts).


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

You guys are lucky! No DVDs in my country have inserts in them. I only have one DVD with an insert in it and that was bought in America
