Why does both releases got no Universal 100th Anniversary slipcover ?

I quite enjoy Sea of Love and it is indeed Basic Instinct a few years before Basic Instinct.

It's very possible these Blu-rays were prepared for release long before that marketing campaign was conceived. Scent Of A Woman has been available in other markets for awhile now.

Surely they are using the same transfers from the previous HD DVDs

Scent of a Woman may be based on the same transfer but it's certainly not the same encode. It fills almost the entire BD-50

I wonder how it compares...

The HD DVD was an HD30 encoded VC-1 and likewise had absolutely no special features (going from memory). The BD I'll assume will better it, but I will probably just stick with what I got. Universal has to find a way to lure me to dip again, by either giving it a remaster, some snazzy extras, or some nice packaging.

Right, I know every single HD DVD transfer that was used had to be re-encoded for BD because of a technical reason (cannot remember it though).

Nope. I don't know where you got that from.
