Except for the front cover, which clearly identifies release as "William Wyler's presentation of Ben-Hur."
But you know, aside from that, there's nothing to indicate the 1925 feature is a "Bonus Film"
 Good point. I'm not seeing "Zack Snyder's" Watchmen on the cover of the box set. Am I missing it? Quoting Ace_of_Sevens: Quote:
This was my argument, originally. Unlike Ben Hur, which clearly designates one version as the main feature, Watchmen Collector's Edition does not. The front cover has pictures of both the comic and movie versions of the characters and the text "4-disc set and graphic novel," which doesn't specific mention the motion comic or movie. THe back cover lists the movie first, but lists the motion comic in the same size and typeface. I think it's given equally billing with the movie on the packaging.

Actually, if you want to use the cover art as a de-facto tie-breaker, I will point out that the lenticular cover shows both the live-action characters from the ultimate cut film, and the drawn characters from the motion comic feature, which supports MY argument for a box-set. Actually, I believe those are the drawn characters from the graphic novel that is included in the set AND mentioned on the front cover, not the motion comic. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

The graphic novel is mentioned on the front cover and the movie isn't, at least not explicitly. If anything, this was sold as hardcover Watchmen with bonus blu-rays. |

And this is where I bow out because, in an attempt to justify making this a box set, you just turned it into an item that can't be contributed at all. Much like a bonus DVD included with a CD or magazine, all you can contribute are the individual child profiles...no parent allowed.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

There are plenty of DVD/CD sets in the BD under the CD UPC. |
