Re: Here we go again: 2012 to come out in single and double-disc sets.

If I got to Target and all of the slipcases are gone, it there any way to identify the versions with the history channel doc?

The 3-Disc (actually 4-Disc) version comes in a thicker than normal Blu-Ray case.

There should be a target exclusive sticker on there, if not there is no way to tell, even with the sticker its a crapshoot. when i went there the other day i had to return to the store cause even though mine had the target exclusive sticker on there, it didint have the DISCOVERY channel disc. it took them opening 4 additional copies that claimed to have it inside. to find one that actually had it inside.

As they regularly do, Target really screws up with their exclusive releases.

The 4 disc version will weigh slightly more obviously, but few can really feel the difference I imagine.

I also love the choice of art work used on each of the discs in the target set.
I have to agree with you. The WalMart slipcover looks way better than the Target slip.

I know what you mean KC. My Target slipcover is in perfect condition. Those security cases are a slipcovers nightmare. Before I purchase a blu-ray with slipcover from Target, I always inspect the slip.

Never found any copies with slipcovers and it was hard to judge their weight in those heavy plastic cases. Took a risk on a copy that looked like it had been re-shrink wrapped. Just got around to opening it. Success!!

So, you might try looking for copies that don't have perfectly sealed shrinks. It's a method that also worked for Inglourious Basturds.

Did anyone else notice that the image quality on the 2012 blu-ray looks the same as DVD video quality? This is definitely my first blu-ray that did not have impressive video quality.

Really? That was not at all the case on my copy of 2012. It looked amazing.

Sure you didn't get a DVD? All comments and reviews I've seen (and from my personal experience) have stated that while the movie's content isn't the greatesst, the video/audio presentation was impressive.

Yeah, that's funny, cuz I took it out and was double-checking if it said DVD or Blu-ray on the Blu-ray. I looked at it very closely, but it certainly was the offical Blu-ray! Maybe it's just how it looks on my player...

Re: Here we go again: 2012 to come out in single and double-disc sets.

Amazon has the following warning up for the 2-disc version of this movie:
Item Under Review

While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Since they are still selling the 1-disc version, the quality of the movie itself is probably not the problem. Does anyone know what's wrong with the 2-disc set?
