News Picard season 2 blu-ray
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
Same happened to me.
I could not possibly care less about the Blu-Ray at this point (I've mentioned my very-slow-to-mount-media BluRay player, and my aversion to throwing out functioning technology, so I won't repeat it yet again), but looking at the Amazon and B&N listings, for the DVD, I see two completely different covers: Amazon shows a color cover, mostly blue, with Picard in front of a fairly large number of cast members (including a Borg queen), for both the Blu-Ray and the DVD, while B&N shows (again for both the Blu-Ray and the DVD) a black and white picture of Picard and a bearded man who looks like he might be either Riker, or some Brent Spiner character.
They obviously can't both be right; the market wouldn't bear two different covers in concurrent release.

IIRC, one is the regular packaging, the other is the steel book packaging.
Interesting. Amazon does show something very much like the B&N image for the Steelbook. Maybe B&N is still showing an early "stand-in" image, that became the Steelbook Blu-Ray cover.
I have only one DVD (or DVD set; it's been some years since I opened the package) packaged in metal; it's a collection of Disney Silly Symphony theatrical cartoons. As I recall, it didn't come in any other kind of packaging.

Even on eBay, many of the standard BD sets have the Picard and Q picture. The steelbook version usually has that listed in the title, and in some places (Deep Discount affiliates) it's dropped in price to about $35.
My only other steelbook is the original Game of Thrones Season 8 4K... That one is a nightmare of stacked discs that are very difficult to pry out. Wheras the Picard S2 one is very user friendly.
I had to go through three sets of the complete Parks and Recreation through Amazon returns to assemble a set where all the discs would play without errors thanks to that one having many stacked discs. I'd recommend anyone purchasing the standard stacked one to watch all the discs before your return window is up just in case.
Oh. Picard and Q. Hadn't thought of that. Then again, I haven't seen it yet.
Heaps of titles get multiple covers.
