Difference between the two "Goodfellas" releases? - Blu-ray Forum

jcarugati · 02-15-2010, 05:05 AM

Hey,

I was going to pick up "Goodfellas," but a new one was just released recently.

Does anyone know if the PQ or AQ has changed? I don't really care for the special features, but if there is better PQ and AQ, I'll put out more money for it.

Thanks.

Only difference is the packaging.

This exact same thing happened with The Punisher. Lionsgate put out the same disc, but in a new case. It was all black instead of black and silver. Thankfully I did my research on it before buying it, I almost bought the same disc haha.
I think it's unnecessary for companies to do this.

Same thing happened with T1. Companies did this quite often with dvds too.

Which if I understand correctly have nothing to do with the actual film except for a "gangster" theme connection.

I'm sorry, but was it really necessary to make a new thread for this? It could be posted in the existing thread.
Then again, the answer could've been found there, too.

steve_dave · 02-15-2010, 07:58 AM

Yeah, its a 1hr 45min documentary called "Public Enemies: The Golden Age of the Gangster Film" which was included previously in another Warner DVD box set. Included as a special feature on this DVD is a selection of Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes cartoon shorts.

So they took an existing Blu-ray Disc and an existing DVD and packaged them together in a Digibook package that adds liner notes and photographs.

They weren't being real lazy with this release since they could have just stuck the two discs in a regular keepcase and called it the anniversary edition. It had to take a little effort to put the Digibook together and I mean a litlte bit.

+1. I was so disappointed to hear it was just the same, re-packaged disc.

They could have at least included HD Audio. This Disc still comes only with DD 5.1. I mean even "Ghost Ship" had True HD.. Obviously the new packaging took a lot of work. They could have spent that in remastering the sound.. The picture still is pretty good

The audio on this disc is still better than DVD. Disappointing they didn't upgrade, but it's still a pretty good track.

I'll probably get the Digibook seeing that I don't already own the first release. Love the film, so I might as well buy the Digibook because I can.
