It may be that it was given a different rating in Ireland. I remember reading that they can't have competing certificates on a release - e.g. if Boyz N The Hood was a 15 in both places then both would be on, if Ireland had it as an 18 then it can't. Discs are different as they are inside the already purchased/rented case so can splash on as many region ratings as they like but advertising two different certificates isn't allowed.

of course this is where someone comes on with "Yeah, well what about my copy of such-and-such that's a 12 here and 15 in Ireland and has both?!" to prove me wrong

Hostage and Underworld Evolution both have conflicting ratings on the same cover

No, I meant real films...

Thanks for that - ignore my post above! At least I prefaced it with "I read somewhere" rather than "I know this for a fact"

The Veteran (released on 29th August) has a slip.

This was in ASDA today but naked and even more hideous but I guess we're supposed to see past that.... it's what's inside that counts.

I checked with IFCO and Boyz N the Hodd hasn't been classified on their website. And it's been 10 years since the BBFC had a look at it. I think if it doesn't have both ratings then probably it will get a separate release or none at all.

Unconfirmed (although they all most likely do):
The Final Destination Quadrilogy (Slipbox)
Supernatural Season 1
Supernatural Season 2
The Vampire Diaries Season 2
The Vampire Diaries Season 1*+ 2 Boxset

I saw Supernatural Seasons 1 and 2 today in HMV both without slipcovers. Is this going to be a new thing now, TV shows without slipcovers from now on. Makes me worried for future releases. Vampire Diaries Season 2 definitely has a slipcover though.

I got Season 1 of Supernatural from Zavvi without a slipcase was so hoping that it would have one like the American release, but it didn't.

Also spotted The Veteran. Almost 100% sure this had a slip, I'll double-check this weekend.

ASDA have gone weird in the last few weeks, Super was moved to the SALE aisle and all the slips had disappeared in the move. A few others were like that as well.

well someone is making an extra pound on them on ebay...lol

some new ones:

Thanks for the tips, guys.

I guess Beastly does have a slip then. Looked like a pretty beastly movie so I avoided it.

That sucks about the first 2 seasons of Supernatural. There should be a rule that says all TV seasons should have slipcovers all the time, no exceptions (and especially if the other seasons have them...).
