^^when I looked at Amazon, it didn't even look like there had been a previous BD release, at least not the US, just the DVD copy. Crazy thing is the artwork is the same as the DVD on this BD, there are ZERO special features. 1999 film date, 2012 BD packaging date..
I picked up the last copy today at a store I stopped by. Had a price sticker indicated $5.99 with a barcode right next to it, looked like a new format to me. I did not notice if the cashier scanned the barcode on the back or the one on the price tag, but it was $6 in the system, so no problem..
