I bought Gladiator at launch, like everyone else wasn't very impressed, and I want to get the new version.

I know I can send it to them for a replacement, but the hassle of calling them (presumably being on hold for quite some time), mailing my disc and waiting is kind of a turn-off. Yes, I'm impatient, and I hate using snail mail.

I've been looking for copies in stores, and I don't see any yellow UPCs (like the one I found on Saving Private Ryan). Are they just continuing to stock the old crappy ones and not actually release the proper version to the general public, and am I looking for a yellow UPC that doesn't exist?

I am willing to shell out full price for the movie again, then send my other in to be replaced and give one of them away to a friend.

Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
