Same same...I do feel the cardboard sleeves are a bit clumsy, but they don't wreck my day or anything too horrible.

I emailed them about the new "conventional" cases and am waiting to hear back.

Can anyone please tell me how to register my old set? I went to universalhidef.com and can't find any links. Thanks in advance!

Some users on High Def Digest sent an email to Universal saying they have the original set, and want the box, and then received the email. I just tried it myself

Just send in your UPC. They are not keeping track of anything (how can they? Each UPC is the same and the only thing that is unique would be your e-mail address).

Home Media Magazine

Unfortunately, the new set still will not include the “Face of the Enemy” webisodes that were first released during the fourth season, and a studio rep indicated there were no plans to release them on disc any time soon. The webisodes are readily available online.
Yes, why would we want what amounts to a missing episode included on a complete series set?

They are just webisodes, right? How long is each one (never seen the series but will be buying the new slim set)

Last night I got the same email response that was shown in a previous post.

Now to decide if I want to cut the top of the case.

Its only about 35 minutes in all.

The problem about not including them is they are pretty vital to the series - as far as developing a major plot point for a main character.

I wouldn't say 'vital' because you can still watch and enjoy the whole series without having that background information. But it does flesh a certain character out a lot more and kinda fills in some questions, but I didn't even know about them until way after I finished the series and they felt more like literally a deleted episode.

I'm sure the rest are going to look like Season 1 and 4.5 in a outer slip box. Odd we don't have pictures yet.

No, but the link in the email 2 posts above yours is a good place to keep an eye on.

Or you can extrapolate from:

So when I filled out the form, I guess I didnt notice I was on their Canadian site. So ive resent it on the US version. But if anyone in Canada needs this info:

Hello and thank you for your email.

We are currently looking into offering package replacements here in Canada . It has not been set in place as of yet, but we will notify you when this occurs.
Ok, now I have received the email from the US site about the new package.

Here's the new package, courtesy of TVShowsOnDVD:



According to the description, the Blu-ray is going to be digipaks. I'd like to see if these digipaks are going to be with plastic trays or with paper sleeves. If it's the former I will probably take advantage of the package switch, but if it is the latter I definitely will not.

Looks good. I too hope the digipaks have plastic trays. Though I wonder why they didn't opt for slimpaks.

So, does anyone have the dimensions for this new box? It looks as large as the old set.

Regardless, I hacked off the top of my S1 and sent it in.

Thanks to nametag over at blu-ray.com, it looks like the UK might be getting a re-released packaging as well.
