"Won't be for some time" isn't really relevant.  There could be (and knowing Disney there WILL be) another edition.  I could have used the same logic not to put "Platinum Edition" on the previous release of Snow White, and here we are seven years later with a new one.  I think it's an edition.

As I said in my post above, 'Platinum Edition' is covered by the second half of the rule.

I must say that, based on the poll results at the moment (16 yes, 36 no), that if I am out in left field, I have a lot of company.

And I think it's an inventory of what's inside the case, so I don't think it's an edition.

Seeins as the contents of the case are the distinguishing factor for all editions (and indeed, what we are profiling), I don't see how this is much of an argument.

And how does this one distinguish from other Blu-ray editions of Monsters Inc (which are non-existent)? As I said before (which you took out of the quote): "And when or if Disney releases another BLU-RAY version of Monsters Inc, then we can revisit this. Is it possible Disney will re-release this on Blu-ray again? I guess, but unlikely IMO. Heck, in 7 years we could be moving on to digital storage for our movies, who knows."

And I will add, if Disney actually releases another edition of the BLU-RAY of Monsters Inc, it very well may have an edition (like Monstrously Awesome Edition) which would then distinguish that one from this, which I still contend is just advertising that it includes those 3 items rather than, for our purposes, distinguishing it from a previous release (which doesn't exist) and thus not needed here.

Go wash your mouth out, young man. Stop giving them ideas.

I should work for these studios. I sometimes imagine some guy in a cubicle just writing down inane (and insane) edition titles for them...

I'm actually surprised to see so many people actually think this is an Edition descriptor.

I've seen titles where the DVD is added as a child profile, as if it is a box set.

This is allowed per Gerri.  No need for discussion on this one.

It is? Eeew.

why Eeew? there are different features\specs on the dvd version than the blu-ray so it's the only way to keep the info for both. Plus you can set watched by, loaned to, etc separately. And if you don't want the child profile you don't need to download it.

Is that anywhere on the DVD box? I just looked at the cover at dvdempire... and I didn't see it anywhere on the front or back scans... and per rules if you use anything not in the standard dropdown menu it must come from the dvd box. You can't just put anything in there.

No, I didn't see it anywhere on the box either (haven't looked at the actual box just front images online), but I meant it more as my opinion on what the edition would be. I certainly won't be downloading an update that includes Blu-ray(tm) + DVD + Digital Copy(tm)

I just checked Amazon though and they call it a 4 Disc Edition, of course UP which is the same thing is a 4 Disc Combo Pack. But the Edition doesn't actually need to come from the case. The rules say if it's a non-standard edition take it from the DVD box. So why can't Combo Pack (as an example) be the standard edition for blu-ray/dvd combo packs? Then it doesn't need to be on the box. Ken could add it to the drop down as well in which case it is "usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate"

I agree with pete, on this issue your opinion is for now outside of the Rules by a LONG way and as such is a local only decision.

Other than that I don't know what my opinion is. I can see both sides, and neither one seems to really take a "stronger" position than the other in my mind.

In my opinion this does not belong into the edition field.
