Does anyone know how the discs come packaged within this set? Is this new set just a bundle of the individual cases, or does it contain new slim-pack cases, etc? I already own all 10 films, but the individual cases are among the thickest out there and take up alot of shelf space. I'm running out of shelf space, so I'm wondering if this new set would represent a significant savings in shelf space. If so, I'd seriously consider buying this set and selling my individual releases. Anyone know?

But as the release dats is 11/26, it won't be available for the 20% off sale, right?

I have the three movies that I REALLY liked: 2,4,6.

But I can regift those, and keep this.

Thanks!

True - but unless anyone has other info - that looks to me like they just took the individual 2-disc sets and put them in a big box. I wouldn't be surprised if the inidividual sets are shrinkwrapped within the box - I've seen that done before.

Is the set at Deep Discount DVD the exact same set on Amazon? Because the one on Amazon was released Oct 2005? Does anyone have actual pics of the Deep Discount one?

They are the same set DD and Amazon. Deep Discount just put a later release date on it because they have a limited supply coming in and did not want people to be totally expecting the set to arrive before that date.

All films come in one big cardboard box in their individual cases

That's exactly the case. It was recently listed as a pre-order when it went on sale, and it's not a coincidence that the "date it's available" is the day after the 20% off sale ends.

Who cares, this works out to $3.88 for each 2 disc set.

I got in on this deal before it went to the higher price, but I want to know if the two disc sets come with the booklets or not. I have two of them already and if they are exact duplicates, including the booklet, I may as well try to sell the ones I have now while waiting for the set to show up.
