Packaging question - Newer "Brazil" 3-Disc Criterion Box

Randy Miller III · 03-28-07, 08:36 AM

Like many folks, I owned the original 3-disc "Brazil" box before upgrading to the new anamorphic version. I simply swapped Disc 1 for the new version, though I still have the older one floating around somewhere.

My question: Criterion also offers a three-disc box with the new anamorphic disc included. Has the packaging changed any? The newer disc doesn't quite match up with the old ones (spine design, mostly)---and I'm far from an OCD completist, but I'm still curious. So, who owns it?

Yeah, I don't know why they changed the spine -- perhaps just as a reminder that it's different, but putting Disc 3 in the front of the box as they've done worked just as well, at least, when you're picking it up. The cover is otherwise the old cover, as far as I can remember. It doesn't have the new Criterion logo or anything.
