Ugh, thanks for telling me. But really thanks, now I can cancel this order.

Turns out Sony lied to me.

I was looking at the unboxing video and the BD disc is not the same from 2008. You can read "2017" on it.

So are we 100% sure it's the same video and audio encode?

Seems strange to me if they only changed the artwork

Why would it have a Marauder trailer, if it was a new disc? They'd surely have changed it to Traitor of Mars, or summit else?

Not really, artwork isn't expensive to change.

Maybe they are still trying to make back the budget on it.

Shouldn't have dumped all that stock in Poundland lol

£1 A disc is more than £0 per disc.

And it's not like Sony specifically haven't done this before. They did this with the BDs in the Ghostbusters 4K releases. Just changed the artwork but used the same discs from the Digibook.

Of course there it wasn't an issue but the point stands.

Just received an email from Best Buy saying mine has shipped.

I ordered it from WowHD, can't wait to watch for the first time in 5 years!

I think this was the very first DVD I bought, and I have not seen it since.
Looking forward to reading some opinions and watching this again.

Doesn't bode well for Sony's A Few Good Men coming out in November I would think as well.

Sony have done this on pretty much every UHD of theirs, they change the artwork on the included BD - fresh remaster or an age-old disc, doesn't matter - to this bland blue design to match the bland black design of the UHD disc. **** knows why, but there you go.

[Synchg]

stop complaining about old discs, we need to recycle and stuff...

[AllOuttaBubbleGum]

Have there been any exceptions to the pattern of SONY providing separate blu-rays for remasters and forgoing them for reissues in UHD packs?

At any rate, I would probably prefer the existing blu; I've never been thrilled with the way the goosed color HDR regrades for 4K look when ported back to standard blu.
