I'm thankful but this should've been better. Read this before you judge me.
I'm not the type to go all angry consumer but...
This set has NO bonus features on the movies. The problem is that there's no real reason for them to be missing.
From what I understand, all the special features are on one single Blu-Ray disc in the individual releases. Meaning: the movie and the special features weren't on two separate discs but on one. So when I saw the disc count for this set months ago, I figured that they'd be the same discs. At lest with the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 1 set you got an idea that the Iron Man discs would be missing, but here...no one would have a clue.
But no...these single discs have, for whatever reason, been simplified to just have the basics: the movie, audio, subtitles, scene selection....
The problem I have is that they (Disney/Buena Vista/Amazon) could have EASILY used the same discs that are on sale individually. But instead they CHOSE to make separate discs just so "Miyazaki Collection" can pop up on my PS3?
I'm thankful to have this set, but...all in all...I have to buy these movies again at some point. I just figured for what I paid here...there was no reason to take anything AWAY from the package.
So all in all, considering I'm gonna have to buy all the movies again at some point, I paid $200+ for really nice box (it is nice), a cool booklet (it is cool), and a bonus disc...
I also think it's wrong for them (Disney/Buena Vista/Amazon) to not give any warning on Amazon's page or anywhere that they were making simplified discs. With all the love in my heart, it was a really stupid idea. I'm still gonna enjoy what I feel I OVERPAID for, considering these are lesser discs, but I'm not gonna enjoy paying almost $200 again to re-buy these movies again.
I really hope the "MCU" Phase 2 box set isn't like this; I don't think that would make much sense either.
