Disney Blu-rays re-issued/OOP?

Post by abenotgabe »

I was at BestBuy last night and noticed that several Blu-rays have been re-issued:
Bolt 3-Disc Combo Pack (Replaced by BD + DVD only)
A Bug's Life BD + Digital Copy (Replaced by BD + DVD) (not the DMC version)
Monsters, Inc. 4 Disc Combo Pack (Replaced by BD + DVD only)
G-Force 3-Disc Combo Pack (Replaced by BD+DVD Only)

I have to say I'm really surprised Disney did this because I always thought the "Limited Time Combo Pack" stickers stamped on each release were unnecesarily exaggerated and persuasive. I also noticed that Tinker Bell is now BD+DVD Combo with a Slipcover. I'm hoping that they do this with other films like Meet The Robinsons and Ratatoullie.

Thank god. Now I can buy them without having the useless-to-me Digital Copy Disc.

My brother will be glad the first Tinker Bell is now a combo set. He wants them all uniform, and since he only got the first on DVD, it stands out on the shelf with the other two. And I too hope they re-package BD-only sets you mentioned as BD+DVD Combos. Then I can sell my standalone DVDs for those and not lose a thing.

How are the prices on these? The only one of these I'd be interested in is Bolt as I have the rest on BD already. Now if they do this with 'Up' I'll be a very happy camper.

Glad I'm not the only one :lol:

It's just, once you've used the disc and throw it out, you have a case with an empty disc holder and box art advertising something that's no longer there. Not good when you go to sell it in anticipation of a re-release.

Also, I see they've re-released The Nightmare Before Christmas with a DVD copy. Now I can sell my unopened Blu-Ray copy I got free with my Panasonic player and buy this new one.

Excellent! I was hesitating on getting Meet the Robinsons and Enchanted as I could only get them as Blu-ray or DVD releases. Now that they're coming out as combo packs I can have the best of both worlds! :P

I'm super excited about Meet the Robinsons. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a slipcover.

I wonder if there is any chance of Ratatouille getting a combo release?

I'll def get Dinosaur, Bolt, Meet the Robinsons and Enchanted. Still can't bring myself to accept Chicken Little as a disney classic though.

I saw Chicken Little once and I don't think I'll ever buy it on any form of media, lol. :lol: No offense to anyone who likes it, just not on my list!

I wonder why Finding Nemo and Ratatouille are not listed among this "next wave" of Blu-ray/DVD combo releases? Besides Meet the Robinsons and Enchanted, those 2 would probably be next on my list!

I've also seen The Nightmare Before Christmas reissued in the BluRay/DVD combo pack form.

I planned on getting it but I lost the Proof of Purchase I need to get an upgrade coupon. ARGH!!!!!!!

Finding Nemo is scheduled for Blu Ray release next year so I expect it will be a combo pack.

I fear Best Buy is the only store selling the reissued BD+DVD combo packs. I tried checking Target for A Bug's Life but they only have the old BluRays with the Digital Copy.

I didn't know that, I had thought The Incredibles was coming sooner...I didn't hear about Finding Nemo on blu ray...if they are both then that will be sweet
