Its leaves a lot of questions.
Its certainly a good deal for someone that doesnt already own the movies, that is ofcourse they are the newest versions.

Hmmm very perplexing… could they just have an overstock of the old editions of Seven Samurai, Yojimbo and Sanjuro and are trying to get rid of them? Would they do something so petty?
