To generate more money...People love "ultimate" and "limited" editions things.

On November 4, Warner Home Video serves up an old-fashioned holiday treat with DVD and Blu-ray™ Hi-Def Ultimate Collector’s Editions of celebrated humorist Jean Shepherd’s A Christmas Story to commemorate the film’s 25th Anniversary.
Ingredients in the Two-Disc DVD version ($39.99 SRP) include five collectible cookie cutters in iconic Christmas Story shapes; a 48-page cook book filled with recipes inspired by the film; photos and quotes and a custom-designed chef’s apron.
All will be festively packaged in a collectible retro holiday cookie tin. Also in a nostalgic tin, A Christmas Story UCE Blu-ray™ Hi-Def ($49.99 SRP) will include a Leg Lamp light strand.
The stand alone, previously released single versions of the film are also available. The previously released Two-Disc Special Edition ($26.99 SRP) will be available in new Amaray packing. A Christmas Story Blu-ray™ Hi-Def will sell for $28.99 SRP.

Because it is seasonal, they do it EVERY year with DVDs, and before that VHS, it is nothing new.

Studios love money, Lets see how many times you buy the same movie

LOL, maybe we can have a contest and see who still has the most copies of the same movie in its different edition. Disney movies are a great example.
Little Mermaid, I ended up with 2 versions of the VHS and 2 versions of the DVD so far

when you do that do you keep the SD versions as well or do you get rid(give away/sell) of them?

[Snyder-man]

ya this limited edition is the same sorta deal as the Harry Potter gifset, lots of added junk that most people dont really care about, it comes in a big case like harry potter too. which is super annoying (i own the harry potter one, dont ask)

I usually get rid of the SD versions....however it's Disney...and since Disney created a brilliant marketing scam by locking their movies in the "Disney Vault" for years at a time ultimately causing mass panic and the urge to buy buy buy, I usually keep everything Disney...even SD's
