Paramount Pictures and short slips. - Blu-ray Forum

Presence · 03-13-2012, 06:09 PM

I just noticed that Paramount releases that include slips, the slips are slightly shorter than the case. Is there a reason for this?

[Show spoiler]

my guess is..and i can be 100% wrong is to keep them from bending as much on the sides..i prefer them like this honestly

That's possible. They also give off the illusion that the slips are thicker. They feel thicker but I don't know if they are.

"The Adventure of Tintin" is embossed, but that's it.

Maybe they are Eco-slips?

Size is not what matters, at least that's what they say.

True. I doubt there are slip-cover size queens.

I love my BDs as much as anyone here and I nitpick about things as much as anyone, so this certainly the pot speaking with the kettle and calling it distinctly dark in color. That said... this thread somehow makes me smile and think of...

Presence · 03-14-2012, 01:28 AM

Oh I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering why they do it.

No offense meant, I actually wonder the same thing. It just suddenly made me stop and think and smile that we're able to spend time during our day wondering that.

I wish everyone in the world had that time. Seriously.

+1 I actually like how they are shorter then most slips. They stand out a little.

KrugerIndustrial · 03-14-2012, 09:25 AM

I don't usually care if a BD comes with a slip but Paramount slips are simply beautiful.

hidef al · 03-14-2012, 11:22 PM

Not all Paramount slipcovers are short.

Presence · 03-14-2012, 11:24 PM

What the!? Why aren't they alpha'd!?

You have Bieber next to 10 commandments?
