I ordered it because Criterion would not respond to my e-mails, so it should be in today. I'll post pictures when it arrives.

Why would you do that when you already own the first release?

Well, Criterion wouldn't respond to my e-mails about the release so I figured I would take one for the team and share the news about what it exactly is.

I don't plan on opening it. I'll just return it tomorrow or something lol.

AFAIK it's just a re-issue in a standard case instead of the original digipak. Criterion has done that in several instances.

I don't think they've done a reissue for any of their thicker digipak releases, which TNotH is one. They've done them for the old thin ones like The Third Man, but I can't recall seeing one for one of the bigger ones. The only related one I can think of is Breathless (which is still a little flimsier than other thicker digipaks), which was an upgrade to a dual-format release. Please correct me if I'm overlooking any.

Criterion has only done reissues for the following due to them being originally packaged in paper cases with a slipcover.

-The 400 Blows
-Bottle Rocket
-Chungking Express
-The Last Emperor
-The Last Metro
-Last Year At Marienbad
-The Man Who Fell To Earth
-El Norte
-The Third Man

The only reissues Criterion has done due to a dual-format release are The 400 Blows and Breathless.

I don't recall any other instances.
