Hello all,

I am curious about a Serenity DVD I picked up at Target today. The security tapes on the top end of the case says Serenity (Unrated). I grabbed it thinking that it must be a new release especially since there were other ones on the shelf that did not say (Unrated).

Being that I had the family with me and the kids being impatient I did not look at the back until I got home. Nothing is different between the DVD case I already had and the one with the (Unrated) security tape.

Is this another case of poor marketing by Universal or did someone clearly mis print the security tape??

I was thinking of not opening it until I heard from you guys. Then again, I might open it and give a copy to my sister.

Thanks

Michael

Fairly sure whoever did the security tape messed up.

Sounds like it might be a miss-print, but what do I know!

Perhaps they meant underrated?

Yeah, it's a misprint that a lot of Target stores have been passing out (if not all of them). The ones on my Target's shelves have said that since the first day they were out.

Good idea to give the extra box to your sister. Is she already a browncoat?

The "Unrated" on the outside tape means the DVD as a whole is unrated, as the special features were not submitted to the MPAA. The rating of the movie itself is on the back of the case.
