WB to release non-digibooks of Willy Wonka, Falling Down, Shawshank Redemption

[Darth Anakin]

Good news for Blu-ray enthusiasts who dislike Digibook cases: Warner Home Video has announced that, on November 16, it will re-release on regular Blu-ray cases three movies that were previously available in the studio's love-it-or-hate-it DigiBook packaging: Falling Down, The Shawshank Redemption and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Disc contents are the same as on the respective Digibook editions; the printed materials, naturally, are not included. List price has been set at $24.98, or $9.99 less than with the fancier packaging.

Finally! I can't say that I like or disklike digibooks, but a lower price is well worth it to me

[G:Box]

its about time!

I sense another digibook haters thread! I'll be ducking outta this one.

Stay

I already imported Falling Down and Shawshank from the UK, so I'm all set.

Good news. I don't mind digibooks, but I rather pay a lower price as I just want the movie. Some of those digibook titles I want, but I want them for about $10 which will likely happen now.

Non-digibooks are so lame

Sorry, I couldn't help myself, I felt obligated to obnoxiously complain on the other sides thread. That is all.

[One4Deuce]

I don't like digibooks which was the main reason I imported Shawshank Redemption from the UK (and it was cheaper) so this is good news to me, I'll pick up Willy Wonka in a regular case, maybe Falling Down also.

I don't hate digibooks, I just hate the pricing on them.

[G:Box]

they should've included Green Mile in that batch

[EricJ]

I love Digibooks, but hope Warner is treating the Non-books as just standard second-printings, and not trying to scapegoat any "low sales" because of the prices....
The books seem to be an incentive for getting the movie right away, but the re-releases are more like the mainstream re-releasing of GWTW without the collector-box frills--Everyone should have an option.

[Romulus]

I love Digibooks too. I don't think it would be that hard for them to release both a Digibook and standard version. That way the consumer can decide which version they want.

I wish they had too, probably just going to import it sooner or later.

+1 they have been taking too long on this

[VanDammage]

I dont mind Digibooks, cosidering I got both Shawshank and Falling Down for $15 each brand new.

[drtre81]

I got my redemption digi for $5 during the wbshop fiasco so price was not an issue.

[Darth Anakin]

Guess I'll sell my Shawshank to Hastings' later today when I go by to look at their selection.

[oyboe]

I really like my digibook collection. I've been patient waiting for good sales to snag most of them, including Falling Down, Shawshank and Willy.
