Mad Max Trilogy - Apr 28, 2015 (2-disc)

[cannono]

Anyone have info on this?

I can't find any pictures and I'm wondering if it's worse quality because of it being listed as 2 discs or something.

It isn't the 3 disc 2013 one that came in a tin and later plastic case, as far as I can tell. But there's not much detail to tell me what it is.

Haven't heard about this one. Probably be better off with the three disc version. Happy with the trilogy set I got. Its a good transfer.

I saw this set at my local record store earlier. From the looks of it, it was outwardly identical to the 2013 set, and had I think $5 movie money for Fury Road.

"Amazon: $42.99" for TWO discs??

Outrageous.

I don't think it has been confirmed to be two discs.

All of the retailer listings say 2, but I'd love to know if that's accurate if it just looks the same as the 2013 set but is a new SKU just because it has $5 to see Fury Road.

I've seen a number of retailers which list it as "2PC" or "2 pack" and "gift set". I've been wondering if 2PC actual means 2 discs or something else ... why not just say 2 discs. But here is what some retailers list: "2PC, Gift Set, 2 Pack, With Movie Cash". But I guess we won't know until someone actually purchases this set and reports back.

It says 2 discs on Best Buy and Amazon

It very well might turn out to be a 2 disc set but a lot of sites also use the same terminology of 2PC / 2 Pack / Gift Set. I find it strange numerous other stores would all use those same terminologies unless it came direct from WB press information. Amazon and BBY have also been wrong in the past with release info especially the former. It could simply be that they assumed 2PC/2PK meant 2 discs. What's strange is that WB's own WBShop doesn't provide this information either. But maybe WB did spend additional time and money to create a new disc to combine two of the movies onto one disc.

Awesome. I guess it doesn't matter which one to get 2013 vs now besides the credit to go see Fury Road. Don't like tins tho.

anyone have pics of this?

Would it matter if it were two discs? As I recall, the first two films are only about 20 GB in size.

They're both 50GB BDs. Not sure how large the movie files are though.

Around 20 GB each.

Why are they BD50s then I wonder? Road Warrior only has commentary as an extra. Mad Max only has commentary and an SD featurette.

Lots of audio tracks I guess.

The first number is the file size of the stream (movie) and the second is the total disc size. They won't fit on one disc unless they were re-encoded.

Mad Max (27.8 GB; 31.2 GB)
The Road Warrior (22.7 GB ;23.7 GB)
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (27.7 GB; 28.6 GB)

Thanks for clarifying. Those first numbers do also represent all audio track iterations included, which I forgot about. (You can lop off another 4 GB from those numbers if you are just including the main audio track.)

Yeah generally it would mean they had to drop something if they moved to less discs. If it were something negligible I wouldn't care (heck, I'd even be really enticed by new packaging), but it feels better to have no compromises at all if it can be confirmed. So I'm glad to hear it's the same discs.
