so with two differant releases for the Blu-ray the blu/dvd case and the dvd/blu case if your contributing the dvd/blu case do you contribute the differant cover art and would it be contributed as a dvd?

I agree with Tracer (mostly), based on how Disney is marketing it. a Blu-ray w/bonus dvd in a dvd case. I would submit it as a blu-ray. The DVD version is being released 6 weeks later, The reason I said mostly is because I don't believe this will be including a blu-ray bonus disc (if it did it would be no different than the blu-ray release with a bonus dvd in a dvd case).

And there are actually 5 different (blu-ray) versions (released Oct. 6):
- Blu-ray with bonus dvd in blu-ray packaging
- Blu-ray with bonus dvd in dvd packaging
- Limited edition collector set
- Collector book set
- Dwarf plush gift set

and then the 1 dvd version being released 6 weeks later.

Speaking of Snow White, I just received the huge (and expensive) collectors set. It's simply beautiful. I haven't dared open it yet.

I understand what you are saying but they are two different things that will have their own profiles. They will have different UPC's.

However what you are missing is that the Blu-ray is being released 7 weeks ahead of the DVD. And both of these releases (along with the other 3) are blu-ray releases

here is the link to the dvd on amazon http://www.amazon.com/White-Seven-Dwarfs-Adriana-Caselotti/dp/B001AQT11M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1254239288&sr=8-2
notice the release date of Nov 24th

release of Oct 6th

I don't think just because they swap around the Blu-ray + DVD to DVD + Blu-ray with the packaging switch makes it a DVD release. If it was a DVD then it would negate their deliberately delaying the DVD release by 7 weeks (I think having the DVD packaging for the blu-ray at all is stupid and actually negates it as well but thats a different issue)

*edit* added a link to the '6' weeks ahead which says it's actually 7 weeks (and corrected as much in my post)

Well I think you actually just answered the question in bold, it has two differant upc, two differant profiles.

my use of 'things' was just in reference to how you referred to it. My point is they each would have their own profiles

[bockquote] And if you look at Disneys website it lists the Blu/dvd as being the Blu-ray as disc one and the dvd as disc 3 and on the Dvd/Blu combo the dvd is disc one, doesnt that indicate it should be profiled as a dvd and the blu ray's the bonus features, Ive never seen a profile where the feature was disc 2 only.

I understand that argument, but I don't agree with it due in part to my feelings that is just a marketing ploy to get people that don't realize it to buy a blu-ray and more importantly because of the 7 week release difference between the blu-ray and dvd releases

Quote:
And I really dont think its stupid Disney is giving people that only own a dvd player a choice AND a future upgrade but still keeping the dvd case that everyone is so used to, but giving blu-ray lovers what they want...I love the blu/dvd combos I can keep the blu and pass the dvd to my daughter.

I understand the options, I have no problem with that. But a) blu-ray cases are smaller and nicer looking (I know that's an opinion but I'm still using it as part of my argument) b) I think it tricks the average shopper c) what the heck is the point of releasing the blu-ray 7 weeks earlier if you just gonna give the DVD crowd what they want at the same time. Ok, if they wait it'll be $6 cheaper but with the $10 off coupon Disney made available if you get the Blu-ray version it's actually more expensive.

Quote:
This is aslo the reason I purchased the Steelbook and DVd/blu combo I will enclose the blu in the Steelbook and move the dvd into a single dvd case and give it to my daughter.

The steelbook will hold all three discs. I got this too but mainly because I thought the casw was nicer than the blu-ray one (and its technically free). I do think the slight alteration for the cover art on the DVD packaging version is better but I'd much prefer the smaller/slimmer/nicer blu-ray type case than a dvd type case. But the steelbook has no bearing on how these are profiled (as I'm sure you know). Though I must ask if you are putting it in the steelbook and keeping the dvd version seperate, the case type you order it in doesn't really make a difference (unless its so you can use the artwork for the single disc case)

I agree with the Martian.

Quoting TheMadMartian:

Quote:
Marketing ploy or not, if it is sold as a DVD with a bonus Blu-ray, that is how it should be profiled.  DVD parent with a Blu-ray 'bonus feature film' child.  That should be reversed for the Blu-ray, with bonus DVD, edition.

Exactly.

The way I read the links you provided The DVD alone is not released for 7 weeks... but the  Blu-Ray with bonus DVD AND the DVD with bonus Blu-Ray is released on Oct. 6th. Amazon even lists them as such.

That's how I understood it as well.
