Default Blu-Rays with Slip Covers

I need to know what Blu-Ray movies come with Slip Covers because I hate to buy a movie that is supposed to have one and then find out that I didn't get it.
Please & Thank You


Does Tropic Thunder Blu-ray come with a slip cover?

Only one i have come accross so far is The Dark Night, But what you could do.. is browse through peoples home theather pictures, most have a picture of their Blu's.. and a lot of the time with the slip covers on them.

I have yet to see a blu-ray released from Sony/Columbia Tri-Star that had a slip cover.

The 2 disc edition of Casino Royale comes with one.

Slip covers are just a waste of money to the company considering 90% of them are exactly the same as the case under it. Pointless.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OMG !! I feel like i have comepletly been ripped-off... Part of the reason why I like blu-rays are because of their covers. I love them like my very own babies...
Now I feel like my baby was born without a head.. WTF !

When it comes to new releases, most if not all Warner Blus have a slipcover. Same goes with Disney, who use them for catalogue titles as well. Some earlier Lionsgate titles had them, but are now scarce. Universal picks & chooses... some catalogue titles (King Kong, Mummy trilogy) have them, and some new releases do (Doomsday).

Also, Tropic Thunder did not have one.

Yeah, I might have to do that. The Dark Knight and The Nightmare Before Christmas are the only two with Slip Covers that I have.

Judging by the looks of your collection, it looks like you're just getting started (as am I), so it might seem like "not very many" come with slips due to your smaller sample set. Some of the epic Blu standards come with slips, such as Cars, Speed Racer, and Transformers, to name a few. You need to get yourself each of those titles!

I don't like slipcovers.

I'm deciding whether to keep them (for sentimental value ) or throw them away (also with my PS3 games). Thin cardboard tends to rip easy. Has anyone thrown out their slipcovers?
