It was on sale at Best Buy several weeks ago for $14.99. Can't get much better than that. (I paid a LOT more than that when it originally came out.)

The smaller case and the non-holographic artwork sleeve. Too bad they decided to use paper and not retain the cool metallic sleeve.

Makes me glad I waited to pick up Blade Runner.

I know it's off topic, but I see you have Jeepers Creepers. What country released that?

Hopefully this year! MGM needs to release more content and Halloween is right around the corner! Jeepers Creepers is a fun movie. I would import it but I remember reading bad reviews on the PQ. I'm hoping MGM brings out a better version

The bulkier case is still nice. I am just wndering how they managed to fit 5 disks into such a slim case?

bhampton · 09-17-2008, 11:51 AM

A nice thing about the thicker case is ... it's likely been replaced by this new case making it perhaps more collectable.

I'm curious about how the discs get along in the smaller case.

But... I like it... Looks like a regular Case which is nice.

I bet it will have two disc on each side of the case overlapping and then a floating disc on the hinged plate in the middle.

I like the thinner case only because it turns the original case into an instant collector's item. It's not the "bulky" case, it's the “Limited First Pressing Foil Collector's Case™” now!

I bought the new balde runner slimmer 5-disc edition from amazon.com about 17$ when it was on sale couple months ago. Pretty good deal i think

.

The discs are in the case like in the Godfather collection.

bajor27 · 09-17-2008, 12:19 PM

can someone please post a pic of the inside of these slim multidisc cases? I'm curious to see how they did it.

Blade Runner or Smallville would be fine (both are 5 discs right?)

Also, is Prison Break 3 in a PS3 type case?

david2189 · 09-17-2008, 12:22 PM

i still prefer thicker cases, feel im getting more for my money =x

djluis2k6 · 09-17-2008, 05:44 PM

I prefer the original thin case. When I bought the UK releases of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Kanye West's Late Orchestration concert, they came in a thicker style case. I had already bought some empty Blu-Ray cases so I switched them over.

You're talking about the thicker UK cases. This is a completely different situation.

And the original wasn't thin. it was thick. lol. keep up

I'm talking about the original Blu-Ray cases, which are thin.

All I can say is WOW... Now if all my cases could look exactly alike my OCD would settle down a bit....

Minimejer05 · 09-22-2008, 12:41 PM

I prefer the bigger case. Just looks more epic to me.

Mr. Cinema · 11-06-2008, 01:14 PM

I was in Best Buy last night and they had 2 copies in the smaller case. I picked one up. I think another reason they switched is I've read the bigger case was prone to having loose discs inside, particularly disc 5. This smaller case is much more snug. I like it.
