New releases: Fox two pack blitz, WB 3 packs: Updated complete downloadable R1 DVD DB & info lists

Fox chimes in with yet more double feature packs. Just to add to the
confusion of all the multiple variations of these sets they have decided to
issue different UPC numbers, therefore making each variation a different
release, for two packs that are either packaged side by side or back to
back. Inside the discs are the same as their previous single film releases
including any extras and technical specifications. If you are planning to
purchase any of these two packs be a little bit careful. Widescreen versions
of some films are mixed in with pan & scan versions of the second film.
Check the specifications you want against the UPC numbers in the database to
be sure before you buy. Each pack has a suggested price of $29.98.
