Video techs... Need some help

[Cajuncowboy]

Can anyone tell me the difference between this Bluray movie...

And this bluray movie...

http://www.walmart.com/ip/6537143

In terms of video quality or sound or anything at all?

What makes one bluray more expensive than the other from the same retailer?

I'm not much of a video guy so any help would be appreciated.

the one with the blue casing is blu-ray.

the other is standard format +blu-ray dvd's for extras.

So the one without the blue casing isn't in blu-ray? Just the extras?

That doesn't make sense. They wouldn't put the main feature on dvd and the festures on blu-ray. I am not sure either picture is the actual box art so it is difficult to tell (at least from the mobile version of the site). I imavine the difference is in the amount of features.

Edit: The first one has DVD packaging (but is 2 disc blu-ray + DVD). They have one with blu-ray packaging for $14.96 also.

Going by the release date info, the $30 one looks to be the original release from 2007 and is a 2 disc blu-ray set. I think it just has a really outdated price on it that never got changed when newer releases were made.

You can get it for cheaper elsewhere $9 new, or less than $5 used.

that's what it seems like.

link 1:
Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End (DVD + 2-Disc Blu-ray)
DVD + 2 Disc Blu-Ray. the DVD would *have* to be the movie I would think and the extras on blu-ray to perhaps get you to buy it next time.

every blu-ray movie i ever bought (been a while since i bought or watched a dvd) was in a blue case to signify it was the high-res version.

Prob just a way to sell leftover DVD versions. I've never seen that before and sounds like a money grab.

Reading on amazon the one in red comes with the movie on blu ray, a extras edition (blooper etc) blu ray, and one dvd of the movie also.

I am thinking the one with yellow top might be and earlier release of the movie. Maybe when blurays were less prominent.

Assuming you want new.
$12.00 here:

$13.00 on ebay(but you can bid on others and probably get it much cheaper):

...Iceberg's advice. The standard for bluray in North America is the blue plastic casing.

You don't want to be disappointed. Not for such a small difference. If your TV projects at 1080p with surround sound there is a world of difference when you purchase the authentic blu ray experience.

Some of the posters have some good prices linked, but get the blue plastic packaging.
