According to multiple European Amazons, it's set to be released at some point in November 2020

My amazon pre-order came today. No slipcover for those curious. Not sure if that's just my copy though.

Went to Best Buy and no slip also....

[WilliamBarbeau]

Was already out at my local Walmart (in Canada) Monday, didn't have a slipcover either.
Also there were stickers on the shrink wrap which makes me think there may not be slips for this release at all(in Canada, at least).

Mine just came too, no slipcover from Amazon. I wonder if they're doing the same as Disney and no longer including slipcovers outside of major releases. Bloodshot was from Sony and didn't include a slipcover either.

Well looks like no slip for this release. That’s unfortunate.

Is there a digital copy included? Bummer about the slip!

No digital copy either. Sony really went cheap with this release. They could've at least stayed consitant with the digital. Really disappointed in that part. I can deal with the slip, but I have everything from Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul season 4 digitally and on blu ray. Might have to see if they release a complete collection including digital once season 6 finishes and get that, sell my BCS 1- 5 blu rays after.

Not sure if this will be going forward or because of COVID or something else. It won't bother me too much if future releases also get rid of it but I'll be more bothered if Season 6 has a slip LOL

No digital either, btw.

Thanks for confirming. Not a deal breaker for me but I also find it annoying. Mr. Robot did the same thing, I think with season 3 they dropped the digital copy. At least they kept the slipcover for all 4 releases

Always a shame if the packaging of a series is changed halfway through. Happens all too often unfortunately. I do sometimes wonder what percentage of the current blu-ray audience cares about packaging compared to just the technical quality and ability to own a physical copy.

Dang, my Best Buy preorder came in....no slip, no digital copy.

IT DOESNT MATCH THE SET!!!!! good lord, this is gonna bother me

I’m now on my second replacement from having scratches. I can’t catch a break from any new release not having scratches. And no they won’t wipe off.

Not sure I'm goign to go through a hassle of a return, but mine have tiny scratches on 2 of the disc as well.

Also throwing in my disdain/surprise that this didn't have a digital copy when the previous 4 did.

I'd be upset about the slipcover but for whatever reason season 4 from the local best buy didn't have it ether around release, so my set was already messed up last year on that front.

But the digital copy, now I'd have to pay almost as much for the season again to complete the set on VUDU, and since I registered the previous ones instead of selling them.....I'm going to end up with an incomplete series on digital becuase of it.

Season 6 delayed until 2022.

That was a given, they're just starting filming now, it's a longer season, production will probably be slower due to covid guidelines, and other variables.

It seems like a lot of Hollywood blockbuster movies don’t have issues with filming during covid. It shouldn’t take them that long to film a season. This is turning into GOT season 8 where it toke them 2 years to film 8 episodes.

Plenty of blockbusters have had problems filming during covid, The Batman as one example. But regardless, even without Covid, this would be a late 2021 airing at best anyways. And like I said, this season is going to be longer as it's 13 episodes instead of the usual 10.
