List Of Blu-ray Titles Released As Digibooks - Page 13 - Blu-ray Forum

DTBlack · 04-01-2009, 03:00 AM

I wasn't happy when the Austin Powers trilogy came in those slim cases. It stands out amongst my collection, and not in a good way. I've considered scanning the cover arts and giving them proper spines so that they will fit in standard blu-ray cases... but then I have to toss the box. Either way I agree with the OP, I like my stuff to have a uniform look to it. I don't like those slip covers for that very reason (well... and the simple fact that they're COMPLETELY pointless), but with movies like Transformers or Iron Man you can't even toss them because then you've got no title on your cover!

The Guilty Party · 04-01-2009, 03:03 AM

I'm also one of the crazies who don't like the digibooks or collector's set boxes so I have yet to buy Casablanca and The Matrix. The answer to this goofy problem is custom covers. I already bought blu-ray cases and just need to print out a couple of custom covers. Problem Solved!

drtre81 · 04-01-2009, 03:17 AM

They rather show off their collection than actually watch the movie imo.

How could a case being slightly larger than some of your other movies put you off from buying your favorite movies?

Seriously.

Are you a movie fan or a anal unified boxart fan? lol...

Batman1980 · 04-01-2009, 03:19 AM

The reason I hate digibooks is the suckers don't really close. Suppose I pull it or a movie next to it out and it falls to the floor. There's a chance the impact could make the movie pop out and get dirty. I don't like being extra careful everytime I pull the Notebook off its shelf inside my cabinet.

Sussudio · 04-01-2009, 03:21 AM

why didn't you just post your opinion in the thread already created today since your OP was obviously in response to it

https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=93247

anyways...i like them. i think it's a cool way to showcase a selection of truly great movies (still not sure how "falling down" got in there tho

). as for arrangement, i just put all my standard cases together and my digibooks together and it looks fine on my shelf. some people can't stand them and i can respect that, but not buying a movie you really like just because it comes in a case other than the standard makes no sense to me

That's odd. Most of my wwe wrestlemania dvds are in digi form and that's never happened to me.

Nice of you to start a thread where right off the bat you attack those who don't like digibooks. You're a cool guy.

To answer your question, I happen to be both. I am a fan of the movies and I do like having my boxes unified. Does that really bother you?

Now I will tell you, since you asked, that a digibook doesn't keep me from buying a movie I like. But because I like keeping my discs fairly unified, I will in all my "anal retentive intensity" go out of my way to remove the disc from its unholy digibook, print a custom cover, put it into an empty "regular" blu -ray case and VOILA!! Problem solved. I did this with Shawshank Redemption.

OP, your affliction is obvious.

I also believe you can have both.

I have 83 blus and some have come in packaging that I don't much care for. I like to have all them in standard blu cases, but it doesn't stop me from buying. For example:

Baraka - Problem: Horible paper case that recks the disc
Solution: Printed custom cover, put in normal case

Band of Brothers - Problem: Don't like big steel case
Solution: Took 5-disc case from Blade Runner, put disc one of Blade Runner in a custom cover single blu case, printed a custom cover for Band of Brothers, put the 5 episode discs in there, and stored the remaining disc for BofB and BR in a safe place.

Matrix Trilogy - Problem: Thinpacks suck
Solution: Printed trilogy custom cover, used 3-disc case that Bolt came in, printed custom cover for Animatrix and stored it with the bonus disc in a double case

* Planning to do the same with the Austin Powers Trilogy

Shawshank Redemption - Problem: Don't like digibooks
Solution: Printed custom cover, used normal case

So, it IS possible to have the best of both worlds. I've never not bought a movie because of it's packaging!

Right on, bro. I love movies, doesn't mean I don't want my Blu-Ray shelves to look nice, clean and organized too. I don't think the 'digibook' package really adds anything all that significant with the little photolog (I have Amadeus, Shawshank, Bonnie and Clyde, Poltergeist and Cuckoo's Nest in the format) but does give me a bunch of cases that are unwieldy to move, that have information stickied on the back that neither stays in place nor can be removed and stored in the case itself and that (along with some other oddballs) prevent me from optimally setting up my shelving.

supersix4 · 04-01-2009, 05:13 AM

I like to have them all the same but it would never stop me from getting any movie... if they made jaws and it came in a shark I'd get it in a second lol

I agree I would get it too lol

brewp13 · 04-01-2009, 06:27 AM

Where do you get empty regular Blu Ray cases, do they sell them somewhere? How do you print a custom cover; do you just print something on a piece of paper and cut it to fit?

richieb1971 · 04-01-2009, 06:44 AM

As long as its rectangle and roughly the same size as a normal case it doesn't bother me. In fact, with 120 blu's a different case makes it easy to pick it out.

#Darren · 04-01-2009, 06:49 AM

OP - your assessments are baloney. Try doing better research next time.

Oh what? you never did any research... just based it on your OWN assumptions

I'm not the one who refuses to purchase great blu's based simply on their cases. Truth hurts I guess.

lol is that so? every response I've seen to people hating digibooks has been along the lines of "it looks weird next to my other blu's?...which makes it seem like the case being uniform is more important than the actual movie itself and that's pretty absurd.

Frank White · 04-01-2009, 07:14 AM

Is there an official list on this site of what digibooks are currently available? Im planning on getting the matrix 10th anniv. and might pick up another one

drtre81 · 04-01-2009, 07:21 AM

isn't robin hood prince of theives going to be digi too?

oh and the matrix is excellent on blu. you digi haters are missing out.
