Blue Ray's Premium Price Missing Something? - Blu-ray Forum

DrinkMore · 04-25-2007, 08:31 PM

Not sure about you all - but I was at BB today getting the Spiderman 3 trailer disk and decided to take a look at some of the new Blue Ray movies that were out (whatevers on the shelf) along with the HD-DVD section (right next to each other).

I noticed "Night At The Museum" was $34.99. It's SDVD counterpart 2-Disc Special Edition with holographic cardboard "Art" sleeve was $27.99. My question is, why does Blue Ray not have the "Art" sleeves on their titles? Especially when they are a new release? I think that's kinda cheap. Yeah my BR disk is going to look better playing, but I kinda like getting those cover art sleeves.

Anyone else? I did notice - SOME BR movies have the sleeves. The majority did not. I also noticed their SDVD counterparts most all had sleeves.

Why? Is it coming?

Keep it mind it might say 34.99 but it rings up 29.99, at least this week.

Not sure about the sleeves.
Actually the blu-ray version is $29.99. I just bought it today. When it gets scanned it comes to $29.99. Of course, if you get the target ad and take it in, you can get it for $24.99 and still get the free dinosaur puzzle

Well regardless of what price it actually is - where is my cool holographic sleeve?

Well just buy the DVD version and the blu-ray version and put the blu-ray disc inside the DVD case. Problem solved

I meant just use the entire DVD Case and simply take the bluray disc and put it in there. Then you can use the DVD Disc as a coaster

I was surprised at how good that sleeve for the 2-disc set looked.

Eve6insideandout · 04-25-2007, 09:35 PM

Well at Wally world it is only $27 plus I hate those sleeves because they get anoying when putting the disc back in them. It's only like card stock so it bends and i really hate the cutout of the UPC. It always gets stuck on there. Pisses me off!

The thing is not the sleeve or case. The thing is the quality of the BD

Yeah, I can give a rats a$$ for the fancy case or extras or anything like that. Give me PQ and lossless SQ and I am a happy camper.

Shoot, I hate those sleeves anyway. I always throw them away.
