Okay, so I pre-order this
and was checking Amazon again to see if the price had changed and just to look at it again and found this.

So what's the difference other than price?  Is one a 4 disc and one a 5 disc, with the 5th being a digital copy?  The one I pre-ordered has an Amazon exclusive...does this mean this isn't the whole set, but the "extra" is the digital copy and posters?  Its price range is within range of Deepdiscount's which is only listing one version for DVD.

I really want the one with everything in it...but I'll be honest, it's a bit confusing which one that is.  Are they both the same, with the cheaper one having an exclusive with it? Or does the 2nd one have more discs?  They both have the same description with them...both say Ultimate Collector's Edition in title as well.

Help?  Thanks!

Any clues? Am I just second guessing myself here and am fine with what I pre-ordered?

(fixed the links...thanks, Achim)

Fixed the links. (Don't put two links in the same paragraph...)


Looked at the two products for a moment and couldn't quite make out the difference myself. Personally I'd be fine with the cheaper set, then again might as well go all the way


EDIT:
Now found this on the Exclusive page:
Quote:
Exclusive to Amazon are a set of 4 collectible poster cards featuring the characters of Wizard of Oz.

That would be little to warrant a $13 higher price

But the exclusive is the cheaper one!  lol.  At first I thought that might be it, but the 5 disc one doesn't mention anything exclusive with it, but the other one (which does not say how many discs there are) does.

I am only aware of THREE releases for Oz this time around, The Ukltimate DVD Collection, The Ultimate BD Collection and a less expensive 70th Anniversary 2-Disc Special Edition. I am not aware of any "Exclusive" releases on this one, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. But 4 poster cards are hardly worth $13.

The second link is sold by a partner (Beach Audio) while the first is sold by Amazon proper which may explain the price difference.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

Good catch!

Question is: what is on the fifth disc Beach Audio mentions...

Thanks, guys!  Going to stick with the cheaper Amazon one.

Totally didn't see that the 2nd one was being sold by another company, thanks tweeter!

I wonder what the 5th disc is, too...could it be a digital copy? Amazon is touting theirs as an Amazon exclusive, but it just might be an extra disc thrown in?
