Gold Collection, Platinum Ed, Special Ed, Masterpieace Ed

It's a marketing strategy I guess. They put more extras on the different editions. It sounds like an Eiser marketing strategy.

When it came time to choose what titles would be the "Platinum Edition" titles, Disney took their ten highest selling library titles on home video.

Highest selling as in rentals... or sales?

And so, Sleeping Beauty, Fantasia, Pinocchio and Peter Pan were added to the Platinum Edition lineup just a few months ago to allow for the "two-a-year" strategy that starts in 2005. That's why the Fantasia Anthology is now going on moratorium. It is now going to be a Platinum title in the years ahead.

I was wondering..

A Belgian website called 'DVD Info' quoted a BV-spokesman a couple of months ago who acknowledged that 4 titles were to be added to the platinum collection but that 3 of those titles would be Peter Pan, Mulan en Pinocchio (see http://www.dvdinfo.be/artikel.cfm?artikelnr=55). Some time ago I also read on the UK-website of Disney (see http://www.disney.co.uk/DisneyVideos/home.html) that Tarzan is going to be part of the Platinum collection. Is the European Platinum collection going to be the same as the US one and have there been any official announcements on the enlargement of the platinum collection?

Europe doesn't have a Platinum collection, and neither does Disney US anymore really.

I doubt if Fantasia or Sleeping Beauty are released under a Platinum brand they will have any different content.
