I was just going to make a post about this haha. Air force one is 11 but the regular version is 18. Hmmm

This is about the 15th thread on this subject, I swear.

One more time for the cheap seats:
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE! SAME DISCS, NEW PACKAGING

Theres no difference at all. Just a stupid new "Collection" Sony started and called it: "Sony Essentials". Same disc, same content, same transfer, same audio, same BD case, same everything. Only with the addition of having a very fugly and unappreciated slipcover.

Damn, that's a shame.

They could of at least done SOMETHING new and added something cool with them...
Missed opportunity on Sony's part.

the actual bluray case artwork is the same as the old releases, right?

You are correct.

Not sure why members don't like these slipcovers. I think they look really nice up-close and in-person.

These Sony discs are not to be confused with the Canadian Alliance line also titled 'Blu-ray Essentials', which are a BD, DVD & lenticular slipcover.
