The new 4-Disc Combo Pack release for "Disney's A Christmas Carol" contains the regular Blu-ray, a 3-D Blu-ray, a DVD and a Digital Copy.  Under the bonus film rules, whenever a Blu-ray contains an additional DVD of the same film, we can (and do) enter it as a child profile with all of the information for that disc.  What I am wondering here is how we should regard the Blu-rays?  Is the 3-D the main feature, with the 2-D Blu-ray as a bonus disc?  Or vice versa?  Only the DVD?

To add a little additional information so you can make an informed choice, the overview specifically mentions the 3-D version, with the Blu-ray and DVD only mentioned in the special features.  The 2-D Blu-ray also has some different features from the 3-D.

I am leaning towards the 3-D as the main because of the overview, with the Blu-ray and DVD having separate child profiles, but I thought I would open up this to discussion for some of the other titles out there with similar situations (like "The Last Airbender" or "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore").

I'd say the 3D BD was the main feature as also there is a standalone BD + DVD release as well. I had looked at the back cover in the store and the 3D part is on top while the others are listed below.

I agree. Here is the exact overview from the slipcover:

Quote:
Experience the magical retelling of Charles Dickens' beloved tale - Disney's A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey - in full 1080p Blu-ray 3D. This ultimate Combo Pack is the only way to watch the high-flying, heartwarming adventure leap right off the screen and into your living room.

When three ghosts take penny-pinching Scrooge on an eye opening journey, he discovers the true meaning of Christmas. Complete with spirited bonus features, this exhilarating and touching Disney classic is destined to be part of your holiday tradition, adding sparkle and heart to all your Christmases yet to come in Disney 3D - Magic In A New Dimension.


And as you said, Disc 1 is the Blu-ray 3D.  It is also the first listed in the Audio-Visual specs section.

An interesting aside: as this is my first 3-D Blu-ray (don't own a 3-D TV and probably won't for the foreseeable future), I don't know if all the discs are like this, but Disney actually made the cover text on the disc 3-D if you were to look at with the glasses on.  A neat little idea.

Ok, so if we all agree, why is the BD the first Disc in the profile list and 3D the second one?

Should we submit a change?
