If no then what's the difference's?

Is there a website with the listing's on the animated shorts released so far and which blu rays have them.
The short answer is no, there is overlap between the Platinum and Golden sets, but both also feature exclusive shorts. I'm not aware of a site with a specific comparison though.

They must have wildly overestimated demand for Volume 1, Warner Archive stuff rarely drops that quickly in price.

I just hope the low price isn't indicative of it selling poorly and pretty much negating any future volumes.

I think it’s the opposite - it was charting very high in the Amazon sales lists the first few weeks and the studio may have realized that the lower price point for a smaller list of shorts sells better than the big collector’s sets and are trying to push this new way of releasing them. I’m certainly onboard if they keep doing that.

Re: Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 1 from Warner Archive

I finally watched my copy last night. Looks excellent but sound level between shorts is inconsistent. One will be loud the next will be soft forcing you to turn up the volume and then another "loud" one... Is it *that* hard to have consistent audio levels across shorts? And... selecting a single short to view does *not* take you back to the menu when it's finished - the disc does a "Play All" from that short to the end. I call this an authoring error/mistake. There's a "Play All" on the menu so why do they have it authored to do that no matter what you select? And I'll still purchase V2 should they see fit to release one...

Does the same thing happen on different audio options, if there are more than one?

The only other audio option is Spanish. I don't speak Spanish so haven't bothered to check.

How many Looney Tunes were there and how many are still missing on any disc format?

1000 classic shorts through 1969. Apparently, about 700 of them have been released on various DVD/Blu-ray releases. Probably only about 100 of the remaining ones are quality ones. A couple hundred or so of the non-disc ones have been restored and are available on Max.

Some of the "unreleased" ones were on old laserdisc sets, if you consider that a "disc format", but don't have a modern restoration on there, obviously.
