You're right, Alan, these are new discs - checked.Alan wrote:I don't know whether it would be due to repackaging old stock - but I think it's more likely that new discs have been pressed for this edition. I imagine it's also out of a desire to have the sets carrying the StudioCanal name rather than the Kinowelt one.
In this case, I take back my words. 
Ha, this is the thing I did not think of. While I saw difference in logos on the boxes, I automatically thought that the disks are identical (I was must to check, but strangely enough I did not have this idea at all - I'm losing my gripAlan wrote:I presume the old discs would carry the Kinowelt logo on the disc label, so I imagine this is an easy way of checking whether the discs are new or not. If they are, the won't have Kinowelt logos printed on them.
