I don't really see why anyone's complaining... if you have the previously released discs, don't buy this!
Or you can easily sell them off individually and save money by purchasing this set at an excellent price.
Personally, I'm thrilled that this is coming out! I haven't bought any of the previous discs because I refuse to buy snapper titles, but even if I had, they'd be listed on Ebay as soon as this was announced, if only to replace the awful packaging.
It bothers me to see people complaining about this, when it's clear to me that Warners is putting this together to ahere to all of us. I'm sure sales were decent enough on the current issues of these discs that they could have easily saved the money instead of repackaging, but how many times have we asked WB to consider repackaging their older snap case releases?
Here they not only go out of their way to do just that, but offer them all up in a beautifully and conveniently designed box-set for us collectors, and this is our response... "I already have some of these movies!"??
If that's the case and you previously owned these discs, you have a few obvious options... where prior, you had none.
On behalf of all of us who have been politely requesting that WB revisit some of their older snap case releases, I thank you!
I really see no room for complaints here, it's not as if the studio is STILL releasing current/new DVD's in such a format and than repackaging them a few months later. It's an option for people who have either held off on purchasing these, or are enthusiastic enough to consider rebuying due to the context of the release. Let's all take a moment to remember that the industry does not revolve solely around your personal and individual objectivity.
THANK YOU WARNER BROTHERS!!!
I hope you continue this trend with your older snapper titles, so that I can add many more classics to my collection!
To the critical voices: let those of us who have been requesting this for years, have our moment! Again, you have very clear options in such circumstances. We've had none.
This shouldn't deter anyone from any individual upcoming Warner Bros. purchases as this is clearly only relative to previous catalogue issues. I think it would be fairly discernable which titles might be considered for similair packagings, and at such bargain prices... I don't see how anyone could possibly object - you're basically getting the titles you already own almost for free! You'll MAKE money by selling your older copies, plus you're getting the upper hand with wonderful keepcase packaging and an elegant and conveniently designed box to house the discs!
I'm just astonished that with the above said, anyone could actually object to this.
If you're not avid enough a collector to be concerned with packaging... what are you even doing in this thread?? These discs are all available individually as well.
:rolleyes
