Peaky · 03-17-2009, 08:11 PM

These new 2 pack new releases, are they packaged as 2 seperate movies, or are both movies in the same case?

Cheers

2 Seperate Movies

They're like those old DVD 2 packs where 2 movies in their own cases are basically wrapped together and marked with one price.

I have a question? Has anyone seen if these are like the last Paramount 2-Packs where they are sealed individually and then sealed together?

I haven't seen them, but they should be just the regular shrink-wrapped cases stacked together and shrink-wrapped again to make one unit as per normal.

Actually, there are two variants of these floating around tagged as "BTB" (back-to-back) for internet/mail-order and "SBS" (side-by-side) for brick-and-mortar retailers. As you can probably guess, BTB is the cases stacked on top of each other to be more compact for shipping and SBS is the cases laying next to each other for better shelf display and ability to see the fronts/backs of both.

I got Red October and Patriot Games today (for $24.99 from Amazon). They were both individually shrink wrapped with a sticker over the original UPCs on the outside of the shrink wrap, then re-wrapped back-to-back with a new UPC sticker on it.
