I don't blame you, according to his site, here is the breakdown by release date. Looks like the biggest difference is the Academy Award slip on the 2014 release even though Target does not show it. Of course if Target release dates are wrong then nevermind ...

What about this version, is this the same as well? It looks like the original release but I want to be sure bc I'm buying from BB.

The other two you asked about from Target were combo packs, the one you just asked about from Best Buy is Blu-ray only, no DVD. As MifuneFan said content the same.

Cheaper disc FTW. Identical except for product item code for accounting reasons.

HV77 · 09-10-2015, 01:33 AM

Cool, thanks everyone. I'm pumped I've heard it's one of the best transfers out there. King Kong is currently my number 1. Any other good recommendations?

blurayfriend · 09-10-2015, 08:28 AM

Did they ever release this with a pink "Best of the 70's" fold-out slip? I have never seen this version anywhere ever so am doubting it's existence, as opposed to say Mallrats which you never find without that godawful green "Best of the 90's" slip.

I think I saw that one in a store once or twice. There's one on eBay right now, too.

Interesting, thanks, but the one on ebay is the DVD version, I don't think I've ever seen it on a blu. If you saw it with your own two eyes of course I'd believe you, but I think they only ever made that slip for the DVD.

What's the Jaws digibook going for these days?

Oops. Didn't even realize that was the DVD. I don't remember if it was the DVD or Blu-ray I saw in a store, since I already had a copy and didn't bother picking it up. But this site does show a release date of 2012, so it looks like a Blu-ray was released with that slip. Maybe the slip was only around for a limited time or something.
