My copy of this is two single-sided discs and I got it around the time of release.  However, the discs are oddly unlabelled and the menus make reference to flipping the disc over.  Does anyone have an actual two-sided version, or did Universal just change their mind at the last second?

I've not heard of this version... but if it is a flipper disc then the disc wouldn't be labelled anyway.

Because both sides of the disc are liable to be scanned you cannot put artwork on the disc or it would cause interference to the laser.

The disc should be labelled up near the hole with Side A/Side B or something similar.

As for what Universal have done...it may be a regional difference but someone a bit more in the know wiould have to confirm that for you

I also have the 2 disc version that came out at the same time as the single disc versions.  TV Shows on DVD has an article about the weirdness of it here.

just a quick thought, you can probably tell which disc is which side by the size. according to the article tarfrimmer linked to at TV Shows On DVD, the was a DVD 14 (single layer on one side, dual on the other)

so one disc is probably dual layer and the other would be single (and if not the size should still reflect which is which) you can then use the info in the profile (providing the disc info is present, correct, and for the dual sided disc) to see which disc corresponds to side a and which corresponds to side b

and in reality i don't think that process is has difficult/convoluted as it seems when typed out.

I purchased it on the original release date, and got the 2-disc version as well. Both discs look like flippers, but there is nothing actually on either of the "B Sides" of either disc as was stated in that tvshowsondvd.com article.

hmm strange way to do it. I would wait the time it would take to get more dvd14 so i could deliver the actual and correct product. Hmmm maybe a student or a trainee had the nightwatch and fumbeled it?
