I can't decide. For $30, I could get a slipbox and slipcover and shooting script of Inception. Or a steelbook. I never buy multiples of a movie. So which do ya'll say? input?

Both... or do what I do. Have a friend buy the Best Buy version and take his slipbox and book. I'm putting my FYE steelie in it.


Inception is the first and only movie I have ever bought multiple copies of. I own the WBshop briefcase, FYE steelbook, and the Best Buy slipbox/book without the movie.

"Both". Thanks for the help Shin. I'm really considering breaking my rule for this one.

Me too. I triple-dipped on Inception. WBShop briefcase, FYE Steelbook, and Best Buy Exclusive with script. First time I ever felt compelled to get more than one version, but I loved this movie. Picture taken with phone.

I have the BB exclusive sealed but a friend offered me the slipbox and book from BB. So now I'm torn if I should keep my sealed copy or just put my steelbook in the box with book.

I could not bring myself to buy multiple copies. Though that Best Buy set was appealing, I like my HMV briefcase. Plenty of 'em in Canadian HMV stores too (for now).

It's nice because it's a slipbox with a slipcover.

And they only had 8 of the BB exclusive Shrek sets.

I want that 40-Year Old Virgin slipcover! Was pretty hard to find from what I recall, & Canada never got HD DVD slips for that or American Gangster.

[BlackRiderX]

BB.com backrodered my Shrek set so I just drove to the store to pick up one of the last two sets. I wasn't losing that exclusive. Now I hope I don;t have to call them to get my reward dollars credited back but I'm not feeling good about it.

I have that 40 Year Old Virgin slip in my HDDVD collection. A SHAME they didn;t release that one on Blu-Ray. Same for American Gangster.

[Rhylliam]

Here are some more Canadian slipcovers, all of which I believe have NOT been shown in this thread yes surprisingly:

Furry Vengeance (E1 Entertainment, embossed lettering)

Solitary Man (E1 Entertainment, embossed bust of Douglas)

Twilight: Eclipse (E1 Entertainment, no DVD copy or double-sided disc in the CDN edition)

Survival of the Dead (NOT A SLIPCOVER in Canada, merely a lenticular piece under wrap)

Hey, I'm on a first name basis with at least 75% of the employees. I'm the crazy guy that looks threw every slip on Tuesday for the mint ones.

If you're premiere silver, their customer service is amazing. Have been honestly thrilled every time I call.

Did you press the button on the box 100 times like I did?

At the WB BB? That is my territory!

Well I technically don't count that. I own the TS3 target Buzz and the Studio Commemorative Edition. I don't see it as double dipping since the SCE was never sold in retail and will remain sealed in my collection. It is a true collectors piece.

Time to buy both .

What does the Shrek BB exclusive consist of? Different slipbox? Worth picking up?
