even my ex step-mother doesn't whine this much

Wow...while the BD pics definitely show a little bit of the evil DNR/EE usage, it definitely is nowhere near as bad as some of the most maligned titles out there, and in direct comparison to those DVD shots, it is no contest....the DVD caps really look fuzzy and low res now...is the BD image "perfect"? No, but still a massive upgrade to my eyes, I say: bring on the 26th!

Some of the extras a few bits with Stoltz as Marty. Hopefully the dvds will have the dialogue as well.

So any word of US exclusives to look out for? If there aren't, and the UK Blu has no PAL stuff I may spring for the UK set. I guess it's too early for anyone to confirm that there is no PAL stuff on the UK discs, eh?

I thought this was pretty cool.......

Unfortunately a so so quick review.... Stoltz footage that's out there is all there is, too much DNR'd pic quality, and the packaging looks even worse than I imagined.

The packaging really blows. Oh well.

Terrible packaging. I'm not a fan of DNR, but Universal's track record with rereleasing these makes me inclined to pick them up rather than waiting

Looks like the same poor packaging that season 6 of The Office and season 5 of House had. I don't mind digipaks though, it's just annoying, given that all of Universal's other box sets have individual keep cases.

Wow Universal.. One of your biggest franchises and you totally blow it with the packaging. Seriously they couldn't have come up with something better?? Glad I opted for the UK version I wouldn't pay $50 for that crap.

That packaging is beyond cheap. It's not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizza box cheap, but it's still very disappointing.

uhhh...? When did digipaks become a bane on the packaging world?

I can't see it that clearly from my iPhone at work, so please tell me what I'm missing. It looks on my screen more like the standard digi-paks with a hub in the middle and that you lift up and not push and slide like the miserable House packaging.

Am I just seeing it wrong or is it that clear that it's the push and slide style?

Yeah, that packaging sucks. What gives Universal? You guys are usually pretty good about that.

That packaging is just another wet thumb up grandma's ass, as far as I'm concerned.

that's how mine likes it.

Packaging where the discs stack on top of each other truly sucks. But at least it's just the digital copy disc this time.

I don't get why that helps. The bottom disc is the least vulnerable disc anyway. It's the top disc that is the most likely one to get damaged. I only have it with House and there is a very good trick to getting the disc out with almost no risk, but there is no way of getting the discs on top back in without risk every time because you must bend the disc and the disc is lying on the case and the other disc. I worry about it with House every time.

And I come to places like this where I learned about how to push down on the top disc and how it will basically pop loose with no chance of damage.

People who get this will break or scratch their discs. Heck, I'm thinking it may happen to be one day and, like most people here, I'm ultra careful about caring for my discs.

I don't mind them normally but its so boring and cheap looking. From the picture it looks like all the packaging consists of is a clear digipack with no artwork whatsoever and a slipcover. Add to that the fact that Universal always has to use that ugly ass disc label that is pretty much all one color with no graphics or anything. The set is just plain and not pleasing to look at. Not to mention the stacking of discs.

At this point I think they are my least favorite company when it comes to releasing discs. They barely have any decent catalog titles out and when they get some out they always manage to drop the ball in some aspect of a release big time. It just seems like they don't even care about the product they put out and are just looking for a quick cash grab. A shame as a release like this should be given much better treatment.

I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky they didn't misframe them this time! Who knows, that may yet come up...

The set is probably a solid release for the most part, but these latest negatives may have just been enough for me to postpone a purchase this yr. Maybe next spring we'll either have a good sale, or word on possible separate releases - of course, they'll probably be flippers!

Now people are complaining about the packaging?



What's next? Bad shrink wrapping? The discs were turned upside down so the logo didn't look right when I opened the box?

This is nothing new.

Don't lump everyone in together.

It's different to talk about the artwork or how flimsy the box is to these digipaks where the discs are "locked" in and have to be bent a little and then you need to slide them a bit to get them back in place.

I have a difficult time believing anyone is a fan of these and if you say it's no big deal, I think you're just trying to rip people for having an genuine problem with genuinely poorly designed cases.

I don't believe I've ever seen someone make a case that they liked these newly designed digis over the ones where you had a hub in the middle and merely needed to pull the disc up carefully and push the disc back down carefully. I wouldn't have made a peep had it been the old design. These new ones are sh*tty and I hope people make a fuss, if for no other reason than to hopefully get them to go back to the old design when they do release anything else in digipaks.
