I have never understood why some people are so concerned about slipcovers.

The second and third movies' slipcovers have a neat three dimensional effect and a nice swirly texture, respectively. They're not just repetitive slipcovers, like Cars and many others. These actually add some class to the movie package.

Slipcovers are just more garbage for the world's landfills. It saddens me.

All the boxsets I've seen have no slipsleeves at all. But could it be that the reason for the first and third be that both have been corrected from the individual releases, the first having framing issues resolved, and third simply correcting the error on the back where the old one said 1080i.

It's not a concern on my part. I just found it awkward that they would package in such fashion.

Not very imaginative of them to only use Johnny Depp's face on all 3 panels - boring in fact. They could have used three different actors.

I'm not so annoyed by the slipcovers as I am the price. I held off on the $20 a piece sales thinking the trilogy can be bought for $45 or $50 and now the trilogy releases at $20 a piece and with missing slipcovers. Lame.

This packaging is so inconsistent it's giving me a headache. They so missed an opportunity to have a nice package. I would have been happy to have just the skull and crossbones on the front with a title. Instead they just dumped whatever copies of the three movies were lying around (slipcovered or not) into a cheap box which is basically an advertisement for Johnny Depp and Disney Blu-Ray (while I like each of these things on their own, it was totally unnecessary to package this way).

While one could say, "who cares? It is the movies that matter." the fact is that a bit of class and care can elevate even something as basic as packaging beyond the mundane. Way to aim for excellence.

I like my slipcovers.

On the other hand, this packaging is really shoddy. I understand that COTBP was fixed for this release, so it's worth getting, but the presentation isn't really up to par. I expected more from Disney and their flagship feature franchise.

I got my trilogy for $25, sealed.

I didn't think I was gonna buy it, but asked the guy working 'how much for the Pirates 3-pack?'. He musta been a new guy, but just said $25. It was the only one he had, otherwise I woulda bought 5.
