Who Else Hides Their Blu In Their Old DVD Cases?!?! - Blu-ray Forum

DarkDune · 05-15-2009, 09:43 PM

I do this for all the new 007 Blu-rays I get. The DVD packaging was better, and I already have all of those on DVD!

I also did this for Grease, cause I can't part with that little leather "T Birds" jacket

Anyone else do this?!?!

No, I like the smaller blu-ray cases and I also like the blue color of the cases. I've pretty much hidden my DVD collection but part of that is because I just don't have room to display both. Edit: Kind of wish they'd even go with slim-line type cases for everything (although it's definitely harder to pick out the movies that way and I don't think it looks as nice).

I hate the slim-line cases, way too hard to read the side. If I could make a change I'd like to be able to order cases with XX number of disc pages in them so I can compile any franchise with three or more movies. I managed to wrangle up a case by moving things around for the Bourne trilogy but no progress since then.

my aim is to replace all my dvds with blu's about halfway there

although i will keep some dvds like my tv shows which have only been produced on dvd

Adam.C · 05-15-2009, 10:05 PM

Yea im pretty much in the process of getting rid of all my dvds. Especially favs that are available on blu.

Wow!... enough said. Man I get blasted for creating a thread about no disc art on paramount discs, but I would have to say, this should definitely take the cake. Show those blus with pride! Don't cower them away. After all, you spend an arm and a leg for them. If nothing else, you could at least find a site, including this one, where people have made custom cover art for the cases.

Im glad I read this thread because I have the same TV and can compare setting later.

Having said that, I think its crazy to put the blu-ray in the DVD case. What do you do with the DVD, put it in the blu-ray case?

edit: to the op, your idea is perfect for this thread https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=98478 about unpopular ideas

Same here. I prefer the blu cases and design. I only display my Blu movies. My DVD's are hidden away (except for a few seasons that I display)

Seriously, the smaller sized Blu-ray cases are much prefered over the standard sized DVD case. With my anime DVD collection I had previiously thinpacked most of them to save space. At some point I'll probably thinpack my Blu-rays too once my collection hits critical mass (which according to my wife was the middle of last year.

)

Just no, I would hate doing something like that. I got into blu-ray not just because of the upgrades to sound and picture but also the case sizes. Storage space was becoming an issue and the upgrade to blu-ray has helped a lot.

DarkDune · 05-16-2009, 09:39 AM

Fascinating...

Not one person said they did this. Perhaps I'll rethink the idea

...

Of course, if you have the entire Bond collection on DVD -- like us -- putting the new Bond Blu's inside with the DVD's saves a lot of space.

Blu-Benny · 05-24-2009, 12:45 PM

i'd actually like to find some cases to put my dvd's in, i prefer the smaller size of the blu-ray cases.
