uk blu ray cases are bigger... - Blu-ray Forum

Cenobite · 01-12-2009, 07:37 PM

I don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but I am sure it has been. I purchased predator 2 from Amazon UK and it arrived today. The first thing I noticed was the case was bigger! It’s no big deal; I just found it strange...that’s all

Picture looks nice...

Red Hood · 01-12-2009, 07:43 PM

I'm glad we don't have those

Hedchekr · 01-12-2009, 07:47 PM

I don't really care for the thicker cases, but over all I couldn't complain to bad.

Blu Titan · 01-12-2009, 08:04 PM

A waste of plastic on those cases, and of shelf space.

DetroitSportsFan · 01-12-2009, 08:05 PM

They're basically PS3 game cases.

Rhylliam · 01-12-2009, 09:05 PM

They're the same thickness as standard dvd cases, ps3 cases & steelbooks.

As i have said before originally studios (or at least Warner) released titles in slim cases. I have a few movies that where released like this from all the way back in 2006.

ya kind of annoying. They also have those really ugly rating symbols on them...

99% off them are.

The only thing im very happy about is not getting so many security stickers as you guys.. its like cracking a safe!

4K2K · 01-13-2009, 06:00 AM

The thick cases are the best. They seem much stronger than those thin ones that look like they could easily break. I wouldn't mind if they made them slightly thinner but still as strong.

haha this is true

kennerado · 01-13-2009, 06:29 AM

Some people prefer them due to them being stronger (as mentioned above). I guess the only negative is they take more shelf space.

Windows V · 01-13-2009, 06:57 AM

How do you mean bigger? If they're just wider (like the Wall-E 3-disc and PS3 games), that's no problem. As long as they don't stick out from the shelf, it's fine by me.

They're just thicker. Like a PS3 case.

The Sopranos region A releases and the region A Planet Earth on the other hand... Those really stick out in my collection.

TenEightyP · 01-13-2009, 07:16 AM

It's kind of strange, but I got three free discs when I purchased my player and the Hancock disc is in a thinner case whereas the Wall*E and Mama Mia are in the typical thicker UK case.

They're actually significantly thicker than standard dvd cases, I noticed this when I replaced my Godfather collection and the Blu-ray set wouldn't fit in the gap on the shelf where I had removed the dvd set!

This just shows how people have different taste and opinions, I would say I'm glad we don't have US thinner cases here

AikonEnt · 01-13-2009, 10:14 AM

I like the thinner cases because they take up less room, but the phat ones definitely feel more sturdy. As long as I have the film in Blu that's all that matters to me, the size of the casing is of very low importance.

GoodToGo · 01-13-2009, 10:25 AM

I have cliffhanger, ronin, ice age 2 among other DVD's and I can tell you they are the exact same size, thickness etc
