Most likely. It's got a fair amount of features with the six-disc set, and even the first 3 movies haven't been reissued with any additional features.

How different is the packaging for the BB exclusive (and is it the only copy which they are selling)? Sometimes they just throw a paper-sleeved extra disc into the existing packaging (like "Inglorous Basterds") without changing the UPC and sometime they have new cover art printed and a new UPC (like "Zombieland").

There's a really good review here on the site about this edition, but basically, there's a couple extra featurettes that are new. Otherwise, it's all about the collectibles. A book, a pencil case with pencils and erasers, repo letters and notes from the movie being made and a golden ticket.

For me, it was worth it as I just had the fool screen copy that I picked up years ago before I realized what that meant. Been meaning to get the WS, but hadn't so this is perfect for me.

Not sure about a new UPC, but the extra disc is actually part of the set. No sleeve with the disc thrown in. So in all, there's 6 discs in the BB exclusive set. Which is actually nice, except for the steelbook only holds 4 discs. So I left the DVD copy and digital disc out of the steelbook. There is a slipcover with a 3D lenticular on that BB set. I saw other sets, one with BD only, and another with BD/DVD that I think was in a DVD case.

You sure about that? The artwork on the packaging doesn't mention a 6th disc, only a little sticker on the front. I'd be surprised if the actual cases were different since even the UPC seems the same.

If they aren't different then there's an empty holder in the non-exclusive one. The BB set has a disc on the front and back, plus 2 double-sided hinged trays, each holding a disc.

Of course I'm sure about that. I bought it. I'll post a couple pics later today.

EDIT: Some pics of the set.

I think that's exactly what happened.
