Back To The Future - Box set vs Individual? - Blu-ray Forum

dean1700 · 11-14-2011, 07:12 AM

I'm a "special features" person who likes to have as many special features on a disc as possible. This also means if a movie is re-released with MORE features than any previous release then I have to have that as well.

Last week I found the BTTF movies now have individual releases with special features.

Is there anything extra in the boxset that is not on the individual releases?

Thanks

I just checked above at bluray.com aus but unfortunately it only has back cover art for the box set and only fron cover art for the individual releases so cant help ya

Cheers V

The 3 disc trilogy boxset and the individual releases are exactly the same discs, and have identical special features. I repurchased Back to the Future 3 individually the other week because the disc I got in the trilogy last year had a scratch on it when I bought it (and so did every disc I tried exchanging it for).

dean1700 · 11-15-2011, 01:11 AM

Thanks, Cevolution. I'll be getting the individual releases now.

Isn't the box set cheaper, though, than the three titles bought individually?

What's the cheapest you have seen the trilogy boxset for Mac? I haven't actually paid attention when I've seen it lately. Though I did see the 3 individually at Sanity with 3 for $40 stickers on them.

dean1700 · 11-15-2011, 07:54 AM

If that's the case Cevolution then I'm heading to Sanity.

I remember they had the Bourne Trilogy boxset for $99.00 but had the individual releases for $15.95 ea or 3 for $40! Work that one out!

Good News: Although missing from the initial release of the Big W Lenticular Cover version, the current release now has the 3d postcard reinstated.

Wonder if they will replace mine.
I bought it a while ago but there was no 3D postcard in there.
Might check them out.

BlueCougar · 11-15-2011, 11:28 PM

They're $13.99 each at my local 'Red Shed'.

dean1700 · 11-28-2011, 12:40 PM

Big W have a sale on some of the BD at the moment with a buy 2 movies at $15.82 each and get 1 free promo. Sitting there in front what did I see? All three BTTF movies.

I'll be getting them tomorrow for only $31.64 as opposed to $44.00 for the boxset.

NickMate · 11-28-2011, 01:20 PM

User Brake has the lenticular trilogy set for $35. I bought one for a member in the US, it came it mint condition and free postage. If you want it, PM him probably still has it. I might pop into JB next week and get a few trilogies.

dean1700 · 11-30-2011, 01:09 AM

Thanks Nickmate but I have them now.

shdl83 · 12-01-2011, 09:22 AM

Are the lenticular versions going to rare in the future? Or are they not going to go up in price? Was wondering whether I should get another copy...
