Would you buy a Blu-ray without slipcover? - Blu-ray Forum

lkmg · 08-23-2011, 11:21 PM

Depends. Slipcovers are good to have. Movies still come first.

Tom Hiddleston · 08-23-2011, 11:23 PM

I like slipcovers a lot, but not that much.

tama · 08-23-2011, 11:24 PM

Absolutely...a slipcover although nice is nothing worthwhile to me. I buy films for films. Not slipcovers.

octagon · 08-23-2011, 11:26 PM

Yes. TDK and Let Me In had pretty cool slips but for the most part I couldn't really care less.

Mastaplan23 · 08-23-2011, 11:26 PM

I can go either way with my slips. I DEFINITELY don't throw them away, but sometimes I'll have them displayed, other times I think my collection looks better with no slips, all cases.

scorpiontail60 · 08-23-2011, 11:27 PM

Slipcovers are a redundant waste of cardboard so yes. They make a collection look tacky and less unified sitting on a shelf.

I do retain the ones I get though in storage.

Slipcovers are of little importance to me, so I definitely will not dictate which movies I buy because of them.

Packaging is completely beside the point of why I buy movies.

Billz · 08-23-2011, 11:38 PM

If the slipcover turned out to be exactly the same artwork as on the paper cover on the plastic packaging, then yes. No point in have a cardboard version of a default cover, when the default cover itself would look the same.

madlost1 · 08-23-2011, 11:48 PM

I don't know why anyone would pass up a title just because it doesn't have a slip cover. That's like not buying a loaf of bread because it doesn't taste like steak.

lilco · 08-23-2011, 11:49 PM

i must have over 50 slipcases i don't care about to me its all about the movie

Neutron82 · 08-23-2011, 11:59 PM

i absolutely hate slipcovers... some of them look cool but i hate the fact of having to take them off to open the case and get the movie... funny thing is i threw away so many of them before i realized that people actually pay money for them lol... i don't mind slipboxes though... i threw the bourne trilogy slipbox away by accident and wish i hadn't

Jasonic · 08-24-2011, 12:00 AM

I definitely don't care too much for them, but they are still nice. I like ones like my Tron Legacy and Inception ones that have the holographic panel thingy on it....or whatever you call it lol.

Atreyu · 08-24-2011, 12:01 AM

Hell yes!. I mean if it has a slipcover I will keep it on the disc, but it's not a deal breaker.

Meathead · 08-24-2011, 12:13 AM

I throw them away
More clutter that I can do without

ManUtd · 08-24-2011, 12:14 AM

Buying BDs will never be about slipcovers for me.

Mandalorian · 08-24-2011, 12:15 AM

I'm sorry for threadcrapping, but really? This is stupid. Why would anyone not?

MiC. UHD · 08-24-2011, 12:17 AM

It hasn't stopped me yet.
