Anyone else have 2001 - HD DVD?

I was wondering if anyone else with 2001 on HD DVD could check the back of their box to see if it says "THIS HD DVD IS COPY PROTECTED" as mine says "THIS BLU-RAY DISC IS COPY PROTECTED".

Just wondered if they all had this discrepancy or perhaps it's a special edition.

My Australian 'disturbia' HD DVD says 'this blu-ray disc is copy protected'.

Does it have the "look and sound of perfect" grey blazes on it? as my 2001 doesn't.

Re: Anyone else have 2001 - HD DVD?

Mine is from America/Canada. It says THIS HD DVD IS COPY PROTECTED AND MAY BE PLAYED ONLY ON LICENSED DEVICES. Near the bottom centre of the back of the case.

It doesn't have 'The Look And Sound Of Perfect' on it but I think that was Universal who did that. 2001 is Warner who also did the film on blu-ray so I imagine someone at the art department doing that countries version cocked up when they did both the HD versions.

No as only Universal titles have this and disturbia is a dreamworks/paramount title (and 2001 is a warners).

My 2001 arrived today and that also had the blu-ray mistake.

Mine's an HD DVD, no sign of an erroneous BD notice.
