Definitely worth jacking up the price over, all while giving us the exact same shit. Nice going Fox - assholes. Guess they think the digibook i enough for us. Too bad I have all of these already, or I may have been interested.

Do you know what extras the Terminator one has or what the PQ is like ?

Hey you know they have at least one sale coming for each of those!

Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
Digibooks for re-releases. Sigh.

Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
They're using the Master and Commander artwork from that nice 2-disc dvd edition, yet still giving us the same old disc. Yippee
I guess Fox is trying to make a few more dollars out of The Terminator. I thought Lowry was working on a new restoration of that. I guess it'll end up being distributed by Sony? also, I noticed they are re-releasing all the X-men movies, including Wolverine, on May 3 as BD/DVD/DC combo packs. |

The state of Blu-ray, 2011. Sad.

I have the dvd of Terminator, but it's not the special edition, though. If only the blu-ray had the Other Voices documentary. That would definately tipthe scales for in terms of getting the blu-ray. I can't find the dvd edition that has it.

Patton could use a remaster, but of course, they're the existing Blu-Ray releases. DAMN IT.

Most studios will be doing that. They are likely going to be forced to as retail space shrinks of OD (DVD and BD) and only want to carry one SKU for (so a BD + DVD makes sense). Paramount re-released a ton of titles like that, even though they can't be bothered to release new catalog titles.

Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
Sure, use the Rocky Collector's Edition artwork and not include the extras from the DVD edition. :thmbsdwn:
But I am glad to see Alien getting an individual release. |
Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
Is this basically what warner has been doing with their blu books?

Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
Disney has been doing a lot of catalog combos too.

The problem with this is that the DVD is fucking useless. In the event that the prospective consumer doesn't have a blu-ray player, are they really going to pay the premium price for a blu-ray combo pack? All of a sudden that DVD that should sell for $5-$10 on the bargain rack is now only available in a $20-$30 combo pack... doesn't sound very appealing for the consumer who still hasn't upgraded (or no desire to upgrade) to blu-ray.

Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
If there's going to be an SD-DVD in any of these sets, it should contain the extras, at least. They could throw on Disc 2 of Master and Commander, Rocky, and all of the Alien sets.
I personally still like getting the DVD in the combo packs, especially with new movies. I still have friends without BD players, so it's convenient to have a SD copy. |

Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
Damn, and I was excited about the digibook until I saw that this could be just the same disc. Almost anything is better than the flimsy- full of hole, blu-ray cases. I don't mind paying extra for packaging. I try to get limited packaging whenever I can even if it's over $10 difference (in DVD, I found Korean makes the best packaging - not bluray though) BUT content is the deciding factor in rather to buy it or not. Packaging is just if I want to spend extra money. I didn't buy any of these movies because of bad video quality or missing extras. And digibook is not going to change my mind unless they remaster the discs. I really hope they do because some of these movies I would buy for full prices.

One time that I saw this the combo pack was cheaper than the dvd, and they still screamed and bought the more expensive dvd only version. Because people are stupid sometimes.

damn...I thought maybe Fox had fixed up its dreadful Butch Cassidy Blu release.

Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
I must say that the Alien covers looks very nice, I already have the box set but I only saw 1 and 2 when I was a kid and if I do not like parts 3 and 4 then I might sell the box set and get Aliens 1 and 2 but it would suck to lose all the very cool extras and gorgerous packaging...decisions, decisions!

Oh, and regarding Combo Packs: I try to avoid issues that involve "the public." As a rule, the public is certain it knows all it needs to know and that there's always a "they" out there trying to screw them. I honestly wish combo packs had been the standard all along, because there are more than a handful of titles I bought on DVD because we hadn't gone Blu yet. I'm reluctant to double-dip just to upgrade them, and had they been part of a combo pack it wouldn't have been an issue. Now that I've gone Blu, I find the DVDs entirely superfluous and wish they'd just give me a Digital Copy for the sake of portability. That's just me, though, and I entirely understand why studios don't go that route. |
Re: Individual ALIENs and 5 useless Fox Digibook re-releases >> 5/10/11
As far as I'm concerned, they can keep the DVD, keep the digital copy. I have never touched either in any combo pack I've bought.
