Two different versions on Amazon?

I may be blind, but I can't see the difference between the two besides different cover art, and one is a buck cheaper. Anyone know why there are two?

Simple answer:

One (with the photo of one guy) is the mainstream "straight" cover, while the other one (which is a dollar less, with the more suggestive photo with TWO guys) is the "gay" cover. Not so unusual....I've seen some other gay themed video companies do the same thing with two different covers for a single release: a "straight" cover and a "gay" cover.

They kind of pulled the same thing with A Year Without Love...one cover has the knife visible, another one it's missing and you can see less of his back.
And then sometimes it's just head-scratching...like the three different covers of Inland Empire, or the two Mulholland Drives...or the manifold versions of Ghost in the Shell: Innocence that are scattered about different Best Buys...and then the whole steelbook thing confuses me :X

Some British and Dutch companies print the two covers on opposite sides of the same sheet, so YOU decide which is exposed. With a black clamshell case, the other is hidden. The Dutch "Ken Park" DVD had a plain and an X-rated version. Selling two versions seems dumb.

One version, two different covers: One guy or two.

BTW: the movie with two guys on the cover is now the more expensive one.
