Suggestion to make separate blu-ray release entries for initial Criterions

Then that happened again on 5/6/16 for some reason, and yet again on 3/18/18. All that was done by the same person. Then on 10/30/20 it was changed from DigiPack to Standard Blu-ray case

If the first version was a DigiPack in a slipbox there should definitely be a different version listed. I have the standard case. But if I had the DigiPack this is not the correct spine for that version and would be incorrect for my collection in spine view.

If packaging is different that warrants an new entry. If first released with DVD then later released without, that warrants a new entry. But unfortunately a slipcover doesn't. I understand that can be annoying. But sometimes you get a slip. Sometimes you don't.

I have the Digipack version with the slip. When Criterion first started doing blu-rays all their releases were digipacks with slipcovers, and the ISBN would be on the slipcover, the inner digipack doesn't have the tag. It was only after negative feedback that they decided to switch to the clear scanovo keepcases for their BRs. Unfortunately, both versions I believe have the same UPC number.

Here are some pics.
