Thanks for the amazon coupon. Went ahead and cancelled my old order and re-ordered it. $15, not bad at all!

Since you already paid $7 for the Steelbook wouldn't we better off trying to use the $10 Disney coupon at Best Buy?

Yup. BB charges tax and time/gas to get there. So for some people it's about a wash. My BB is 4 miles away. I'll just make lunch out of the trip.

It is not worth that hassle at Best Buy that I would surely get.

Re: Disney releases "Snow White and the 7 Dwarves" 7 WEEKS Early on Blu-ray

Lame.

This means that the Snow White Blu-ray omits components from the original 2001 DVD - lots of components, as a matter of fact. We lose a documentary called “Still the Fairest of Them All: The Making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, a version of “Someday My Prince Will Come” from Barbra Streisand, storyboard to film comparisons, text production notes, additional deleted scenes, vintage radio programs and a few other elements.

Why did the Blu-ray – touted as the definitive Snow White - drop so much material? I have no idea. These aren’t minor cuts; it’s not like the Blu-ray just cut out some silly games or ads. The 2001 DVD offered a treasure trove of information, and the Blu-ray – while packed with good material - doesn’t equal the same level.

That’s a shame. This Blu-ray could have offered the Snow White to beat all other Snow Whites, but the absence of so much pre-existing bonus materials means it falls short of expectations.

Ouch. Well, I guess it insures Disney there will be less used copies of the 2001 DVD floating around because fans of the film would have to keep it.

You're right, the Blu-ray only has 85 hours of supplements, when it clearly should have 85 1/2 hours of supplements. This is unnaceptable!!!!1!!11!!!1!!! Everybody, grab your pitchforks and follow me!!!

No shit. I doubt I'll go over every extra, much less be able to really tell what got left out. But damn, I thought people would be happy it's not tainted with Barbara Streisand. Bummer about the documentary though.

Re: Disney releases "Snow White and the 7 Dwarves" 7 WEEKS Early on Blu-ray

Okay I am confused, this came in at work today, but it was in two packages, one in a bluray case with 2 blurays and the 1 dvd. Then in a dvd case saying the exact same thing. 1 dvd, and 2 blurays. Both sets have the exact same features. Could someone explain this to me?

This has already been discussed in this thread. Is it really that hard to figure out why Disney is doing this?

Forgive my stupidity because I missed that discussion. Is the issue that there's only one disc configuration but they're selling some in standard DVD cases to not scare off non-BD users with a blue case? But they're still charging the same amount?

Disney likes money. Is this new to anyone?
