A Christmas Story 2 Disc Special Edition

Is this worth a double dip?


I own the single disc snap case and maybe hoping after xmas is over it might be discounted?

It's never been heavily discounted, but the bonus features are pretty good, interviews, commentary, so yeah. The Blu-Ray has everything on 1 disc and is usually cheaper than the 2 Disc DVD.

This single disc is full frame. The 2 disc is anamorphic widescreen. Id say thats reason enough. the extras are pretty lame IMO.

Not true. The Blu-Ray is missing the Jean Shepherd radio recordings, which are one of the best extras, as well as a featurette on the leg lamp.

The leg lamp featurette is on the BD, but my mistake, Jean Sheperd audio program. Also misses out on the 2 games, but we can live with that.

There's no new two-disc, it just looks like a slightly different-colored package.
Only the Blu-Ray seems to have omitted the recordings.
