I purchased the movie Slumdog Millionaire on DVD a few days ago. It’s a fantastic movie that I saw twice in theatres, falling in love with the beautiful cinematography, wonderful soundtrack and unique storytelling. Consequently, I was looking forward to not only watching it again, but also viewing the making-of featurette and deleted scenes that were advertised on the back of the DVD. In a frustrating discovery after watching the movie, I found that none of the special features were on the disc.
After some quick research, I learned that Fox had made a mistake and shipped the wrong discs with the retail versions. If you encountered the same issue that I did, you can visit this website and sign up to be sent a replacement disc. I wanted to inform others of that, but I also thought that the reason this mistake was possible in the first place might make an interesting topic for discussion…
