Vivid releases these edited versions of their hardcore features under the Vivid Cable label. Like you said, all of the hardcore elements are removed. I guess this is done to enhance their presence in the mainstream market whether it be shopping mall retailers or cable channels. Sorry, but it looks like you're stuck with the softcore version...unless you can return it.
Does the box cover say anything different? It might say "mature rated" which is usually an indicator that there's no hardcore content.
I have a question. I saw several Jenna Jameson DVDs in a retail store, none of which I recognized. I'm pretty sure one of them was called "Jenna Aroused." I didn't buy them, because I could tell they were softcore Vivid releases. But what I'm wondering is, is that new footage they shot with her? Is it rehashed scenes from other films without the penetration? Or are they merely "striptease" films?
I might actually consider buying them if I knew for sure it was all new footage. Any ideas?
I would venture to say that it's the hardcore version. As far as I know, all those films you see are hardcore unless labeled otherwise. Of course, I'm sure you could e-mail customer service to make sure.
Don't let the low price fool you; that film's going for pretty cheap these days.

Sominex,
Most Vivid Raw and Wave titles (hardcore versions) can be found for under $10. I could be wrong, but I don't think the stores in our price search carry the softcore versions.
I'm sure Five Star is selling the hardcore version.
If you continue to shop at retail stores, the best way to make sure you're getting the hardcore version is to look at the case's spine. Usually the words "adult rated" or "XXX" is printed above or below the title. See this image the image below. It's kind of hard to see but it has "XXX" at the bottom and "adult rated" above the title. Both terms are indicative of hardcore content.
A couple of weeks ago I picked up a copy of Vivid's "Where the boy's aren't #8" off eBay to finally upgrade from VHS(an all-time favorite porn of mine). At the time I didn't know I was bidding on the softcore version. I opened up the package to see a "Cable DVD" sticker on it and knew I was going to be dissappointed.
Actually, it isn't half bad. Since it's girl/girl, you still get sexy action, and it's cool to see extra footage not included on the hardcore version(more kissing, different angles, etc). It does get frustrating though when you're waiting for some "pink", dildo action, full spread shots, etc...
A boy/girl cable DVD would be absolute garbage!

Eh, me and the little lady rented this one on DVD and we were not too thrilled w/ it. It was the full version, but I didn't really get any 'heat' out of it.
Both stars are great, but it wasn't hardcore enough. Picture quality was poor too.
But again, it all goes back to what you're into. We all like different things.
There indeed is a hard-core version of Jenna Loves Rocco. I have it. There is a cum swapping scene in it.
I have been slighlty burnt by soft core versions before. When I first got a DVD player I bought titles from Amazon. I got Vivid's Ancient Secrets of the Kama Sutra. It is the soft core version
