Jurassic Park Trilogy SteelBook™ (Best Buy Exclusive) - Page 7 - Blu-ray Forum

Underworld54 · 10-20-2011, 03:16 PM

A member over in the dedicated Jurassic Park thread said that he bought "The Family Man" and it said BD-50 but it was indeed a flipper. So I wouldn't go by what the case says.

Blu-ray + DVD on the spine is not a telltale sign, as all of Univerals Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy combo packs have that on the spine, whether they're flippers or not.

Just so you know, 6 discs can be fit into a G1 SteelBook. 6-disc G1 SteelBooks already exist.

And the BD-50 thing on the back doesn't really mean much either. Both "Sanctum" and "Hanna" didn't have their own artwork printed up that said "BD-59" on the back, I'm 99.9% sure about that. They just had a sticker on the front that said Best Buy Exclusive Blu-ray + DVD combo pack.

I'm the first person on this board or maybe on the internet (lol, but it's true) who pointed out that they're probably flipper discs, so I'm not arguing that they won't be. You guys just aren't listing valid reasons.

The most valid reason of all is that Best Buy has done exclusive Blu-ray + DVD combo pack releases for Universal Studios titles in the past (Repo Men, MacGruber, Skyline, The Eagle, Sanctum, and Hanna... I think that's it) and they have ALWAYS been Blu-ray/DVD flipper disc releases. They've never released an exclusive Universal Studios combo pack that wasn't a flipper. Period. For those of you who are buying this, I hope that they've changed their ways, but I really doubt it.

That's why saying it's confirmed a flipper is essentially fact. Any time a new BD comes out and Best Buy has an exclusive for it that adds a DVD, it is ALWAYS a flipper.

Always.

That's not always true. "Hot Tub Time Machine" for instance, added a DVD and it was not a flipper. But that's Fox.

What I do know is it's always true for Universal Studios, as well as the company that distributes Red, Source Code, and others (as I'm 99% sure that although Universal's name is nowhere on the package, those are actually distributed by Universal Studios.)

The fast five steelbook combo pack universal just released did not have flipper discs. so its not always the case.

spleck · 10-20-2011, 06:17 PM

I'm really hoping these aren't flippers because I need the DVDs for kid fodder. They're not allowed to touch the Blus anymore.
