Am I the only one who hates the slipcovers? - Blu-ray Forum

HeartOFHatred · 10-17-2007, 12:39 AM

Who hates the Sleaves some movies come in like Pirates, Crank etc...? I hate em I throw em away... I like all my BD's To look the same on the shelf ha ha.. anyone else out there who hates them like me?

rjg · 10-17-2007, 12:41 AM

I dont hate them, but it does look odd since most of the early movies didnt have them, so when i display them they just dont seem to match good.

Whytewash · 10-17-2007, 12:54 AM

They honestly dont bother me at all. Yeah it makes the stack look different but then again, so does the MI box set. I wouldnt throw away the box...

I figure I might as well keep everything down to those bullshit fliers they put in the box also. Movies are expensive... ill keep every bit of murchandise that comes with them. JMO anyway...

I hate them too. Not only are they pointless, but they are also added waste to the environment. I can't understand the logic behind the idea. At one point I had been storing all of mine. Then, one day I opened the closet door where they were stored and they had shifted and leaned against the door. They tumbled out en-mass, which made me think, "What the hell? How many of these things do I have here?" So, I counted them. I had 115 sleeves!!! Isn't that ridiculous? Just think about how much waste that causes! And not to mention the extra printing cost on the damn things. Studios are better off not putting their $$$ into ridiculous junk.

You shouldn't throw away the slipcovers, there's an underground slavetrade market for disney slipcovers didn't you know?

In a couple of years when High Def is mainstream, those slipcovers coulda been the cornerstorne for a college education. Or a 2160p projector

Gamma_Winstead · 10-17-2007, 01:05 AM

I prefer them on certain movies like Pirates... Good transfer and it makes the cases stick out... I want one on Superbad!

Is this thread for real?

LOL

u_nick · 10-17-2007, 01:08 AM

i cant say I HATE them, but i do throw them away, simply because i dont care if they exist or not.

gvortex7 · 10-17-2007, 01:18 AM

I think hate is a pretty strong word when describing some stupid slipcover. We're you by any chance traumatized by one?

MotionBlurr · 10-17-2007, 01:49 AM

In Japan most DVDs come with sleeves, boxes, metal cases, holograms. Not only is it cool it also gives the consumers a reason to buy an original version instead of a bootleg copy.

I've seen lots of goodies packed with the DVD. Like bookmarks, trading cards, stickers, mini comic books, etc.

The most interesting thing I saw packed in the DVD case was panties from a character in an Anime series.

That stuff becomes collectable over time, but it doesn't make any sense with a Sony HES-V1000 Home Entertainment Server. (I have my eye on one of those little critters, not that I'll get one in the near future.)

Not related to slipcovers, but whilte trying to take off some of the security tag inside the PotC2 case, I cut myself

tvted · 10-17-2007, 02:21 AM

I quite like it when my wife slips under em.

Anthony P · 10-17-2007, 02:23 AM

I like them, they make them look fancier. On the othert hand I hate that the price tag (or other stickers) tend to be put on them

Mericalis · 10-17-2007, 02:28 AM

I do my best to display all my BD with just the Blu-casing so that others don't get the wrong idea. I want to make sure guests understand that everything is Blu. Now the slipcovers, I do not throw them away...they just go into a stack so that they'll be keepsakes later on.

I throw all mine away. I even went as far as buying a box of blu-ray cases so all my cases match (except for those pesky multi-disc releases).
