Disney beats Warner to the punch with "Best Of" HD packs

10 August 2007 18:30 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 8 comments

Although Warner has boasted that they will be the first studio to offer "Best of HD DVD" and "Best of Blu-ray" disc bundles, apparently Disney has beaten them to the punch.

This week, the gigantic retailer Costco began carrying Disney Blu-ray disc bundles, at a very discounted price as well.

According to HD Digest, "the "Action Movies" four-pack includes 'Pearl Harbor,' 'Gone in 60 Seconds,' 'The Guardian' and 'Deja Vu'; the "Family Movies" four-pack includes 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,' 'Invincible' and 'Eight Below'; and finally, the "Disney Movies" four-pack includes 'The Wild,' 'Chicken Little,' 'Dinosaur' and 'Bridge to Terabithia.'

Each one of the discs are the same as previously released editions of the films, with the same covert art, specs, and supplements.

Costco is selling the bundles for $85, which is a discount of over 30 percent as compared to the individual suggested retail price.

Why is this a battle? This seems like a no brainer. Packaging your collections and cutting the price equals sales. A stupid company with antiquated thinking equals a huge mess for consumers. [ + quote]

Yeah, $85 is a lot considering you can get 4, 5, and 6 part movie series on DVD for less than that. [ + quote]
