    I just started noticing That mOvies I've bought lately Particularly those from the Budget bin have a White Blank Sticker on the outside of the shrink Wrap over the barcode /scan mark area ! Why I'm not sure ? I already know that they are Budget movies -Ie: older titles and some B-Movies and they are already priced and the stickers don't have a metallic backing so it's not a anti-theft thing . Whether the stickers are put on at the store ( Big Lot's) or are on the Movies from the Distributor I can't be sure ! Their are no holes or Cuts in the DVD cases Covers so maybe it's a Cutout thing Like tapes & records ? just curious ? I also notice that when putting these movies into my Collection Via DVD Profiler That the Cover on the Movie I have does not always match the cover for The same movie on Dvd Profiler even though The Barcode numbers match ? weird !!! perhaps a re-release o reissue maybe ? anyway Thanks for listening and happy Burning !!!

    maybe so people don't try to return/exchange them to get full price out of them

    ^Exactly. Come to find out...people are inventive and would purchase a huge stack of bargin movies, return them two weeks later for their previous full price and make money on the deal.
