MGM Class Action Lawsuit on DVDs!!

[vi edit]

This thread just proves my point that most people could give two sh!ts about the difference between widescreen and P&S until somebody points it out to them.

Half the people in this thread wouldn't have been the wiser had somebody not pointed it out to them.

Exactly. Why would I give them up for $7 each?

isn't the spaceballs dvd double sided, one with FS and the other WS? I might be wrong but it really seems like its a two sided DVD.

Yes, it is a BI-DVD.

stupid.

 

[theGlove]

so you get $7.10 for each dvd on that list? if you can find these dvds for like $1-3 you can really cash in on them i bet

 

[ElFenix]

so... uh... what is ATOT's verdict here? is my copy of princess bride how the director intended it or not?

 

[pancho619]

I have "Chocolate" and "Y Tu Mama Tambien", definitely not worth the hassle to return them. Thanks for the info anyways.

i don't think you have to give them up. they compensate you $7 for erroneously listing them as widescreen.

Class Members who submit timely and valid Claim Forms may exchange each Eligible DVD for (i) a new MGM DVD from a list of 325 titles or (ii) $7.10.

That's what sucks....you either get $7 for them...which won't replace them, or you get to pick from a list of 325, but we don't know what that list includes. Sounds to me like MGM wins no matter what. They suck.

Read the thread!

They are NOT erroneously widescreen! These are OAR open-matte films.

Ok, i took some snapshots of my spaceballs DVD here....

Full Screen

Wide Screen - note that it does have a wider shot, but the top and bottom have also been cut off on this version...

[NuclearNed]

Why is "The Aviator" on that list???

 

[Chadder007]

Here is the Full Screen overlayed onto the Widescreen....

[ShotgunSteven]

So is that list the movies you can exchange for, or the movies that are supposedly fscked up?

Because there have been at least 3 movies with that title.



Luckily MGM hasn't had a decent movie in forever and I only own one or two of their DVDs.

 

[AkumaX]

how do you prove to them you own the dvd? (spaceballs)

edit: n/m, you have to call
