Last week we
broke the news (and the box art) for HBO Video's
November 24th release of
The Sopranos - The Complete 1st Season on Blu-ray Disc. Today distributor Warner Home Video formally announced that title, but they weren't done with Tony and his two families. They had a repackaging to announce, too!
And no, it's not the same repackaging of the two
Season 6 Blu-ray sets that we
reported the other day. This one's a bit more significant.
On
November 17th, a week prior to the high-def release of the first season, HBO/Warner plans to release a newly repackaged, repriced version of
The Sopranos - The Complete Series. The
original deluxe, collectible release of this title became available last year, on November 11, 2008, in a book-style packaging (an honest-to-goodness 56-page album) which came enclosed in a "sleek black linen box", at a cost of $399.99 SRP. A year later, the studio wants to make this collection more available to consumers with "
new compact packaging and a lower price point".
As you can see from the image below, the new package is still "book style," but of a vastly different sort: it opens up from a split down the center in a gatefold fashion, and discs slide in from the side. Speaking of discs, HBO informs us that all of the DVDs from the previous
Complete Series set will be included, with all the bonus material found on them. However, the extra soundtrack CD discs will not be packed in with the revised collection. Still, the new list price is a hundred dollars lower, at $299.95 SRP...which certainly good news for any fans who perhaps couldn't afford last year's model.
