italian job blu ray collectors vs walmart

[Varuuth]

I ordered The Italian Job Collectors Edition https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-I...ob-Blu-ray/36/ from Best Buy but they sent me the Wal-Mart version https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-I...Blu-ray/71937/ I have looked and can't seem to find any differences. Does anyone know if there is a difference and if so, what are they?

Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no Collector's Edition. Best Buy just copied the wording from the DVD, which does have a CE. There should be no differences between the two BD releases, aside from cover art.

edit: I'm reading the official Italian Job thread and there was discussion of Paramount reissuing the disc with a better encoding, but I think that was just internationally.

I didn't see an official italian job thread, could you post me the link to it?

From my thread:

US/UK - MPEG-2 2.38:1, DD 5.1 640 kbps, extras (Region free)

If you really want this buy the Nordic release as it's probably the cheapest.

I'm sorry HD Goofnut but I'm not understanding. Are you trying to say that those are the specs on both discs, and there are no other features that are different between the 2 releases?

Goofnut unnecessarily confused you.

All US discs are exactly the same. You're going to have to import if you want the best quality.

Those are the different releases from various countries.

Mifune Fan, steve dave and indy thanks for helping me to understand that there really is no differences between the wal-mart and best buy versions of this movie of the u.s. release (other then the cover art).
