Paramount Re-Issues Cosmetic Changes - Blu-ray Forum

jw · 05-23-2008, 11:48 PM

Ok noticed a few changes from the old ones to the new ones.
Looks like Paramount dropped the silver outer logo on a few re-issues.
here are some pics from Four Brothers. They are using different cases as well, the new ones have a printed blu-ray logo and the older ones have it embossed.

ok pics for those who care...................

What about We were Soldiers? Same looking case as Four Brothers.

Gamma_Winstead · 05-23-2008, 11:59 PM

I prefer the old.

its the same as

Kirsty_Mc · 05-24-2008, 12:02 AM

The new one looks cheap as though it has been rushed (

) out.

jw · 05-24-2008, 12:03 AM

the new printing process is cheaper. There is no foil embossing like the old ones.

Not sure about the re-releases since I haven't bought one, but Bee Movie and Blades Of Glory had a different insert inside the case dated 2008.

Marcusarilius · 05-24-2008, 12:28 AM

I like the silver framing better. And even more, I would like to see all Paramount releases for BD have some form of HD sound encoded. Double Dip away...

rereleases dont have anything, just a sensormatic sensor and a disc

I could care less about the cosmetic changes. Just as long as I have all the Paramount re-releases in my collection! Although my Blu-ray copy of World Trade Center (with the silver outer logo) seems to stand out with the other 4 Paramount/DreamWorks Blu-rays in my collection.

Dark Steel · 05-24-2008, 06:29 AM

I noticed that the cover of my Face/Off blu ray was a little to large for the warner bros style cases paramount uses now, that have the printed on blu ray emblem. The plastic seemed warped. Had to switch it with a case I purchased from sleevecity that has the embossed logo like the original Paramount releases and Sony ones.

eddievanhalen · 05-24-2008, 10:33 PM

I bought Aeon Flux over three months ago by ebay and my copy didn't have the silver "Paramount HD" embossing. It was obviously a first release but didn't look like one, maybe it was a bootleg? Picture quality is nothing to cry for.

ClaytonMG · 05-24-2008, 11:42 PM

This actually has nothing to do with the re-releases. They quit doing it when they were supporting Blu-Ray the first time. Hence We Were Soldiers, The Manchurian Candidate, Freedom Writers, and a few others as well.

kaliraver · 05-25-2008, 01:15 AM

I don't like that they are using the Warner Brothers cases on their re-releases. I will be getting the Sony/Disney cases I think for them since they will throw off my other Paramount releases.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 05-30-2008, 02:48 PM

What about Blades of Glory? Does it have Silver Logo?

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 05-30-2008, 03:03 PM

i dont know if i like the logo or not. but it doesnt really bothered me..

Caligula · 05-30-2008, 03:05 PM

this prevents people from exchanging old copies for new ones. if silver it means old copy and wont exchange or refund. Paramount know how u people are
