Neon Genesis Evangelion is undoubtly one of the most popular and well known anime series and has had a few releases, first on VHS and later on DVD. On DVD it has already been releasess twice, the latest incarnation being the Platinum serie with remastered sound and image. The Platinum edition is also available in two versions, namely the single disc release which also contained a sleeve and a booklet with background info. And a thin pack collection collecting all the discs but without the booklets. 

This November ADV will be re-releasing the Platinum series, this time in a tin box. From the limited information available on the Internet I've been able to gather that the only difference between the already avaible Platinum serie is the tin box. Inside the tin box the thinpack version will be included. But besides the tin box I see no other difference or extra between the regular thin pack box and this new to be released version. There is one big difference though, namely the SRP. Whereas the thinpack box has a SRP of $ 89.95, the new tin box has a SRP of $ 129.95. Seems like a lot of money for a lunch box IMO. Fortunately I already have the serie on DVD so I can easily skip this release.
