Blu-ray Slipcover Discussion Thread Part One (Archived) - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Everything that I've ordered from Amazon has included a slipcover, which I usually just end up throwing in the trash anyway.

If you're going to throw out a slipcover at least recycle the darn thing!

I do recycle. But with all of the slipcover fanatics coming out of the woodwork, I might start selling them.

my best buy has 3 copies of king kong with the slipcover, check there maybe?

i havent seen dollhouse with a slipcover anywhere? the one i bought has like half a slipcover just stuck to the case

That was a misunderstanding on my part then. I've read about one or two people having it on here and I thought it was an actual slipcover.

I really don't get the point of those. I've seen those also on Sons of Anarchy and Prison Break: The Final Break.

chrisjuniper · 08-24-2009, 11:53 PM

yeah theyre basically useless.

Magical Malik · 08-25-2009, 07:12 PM

I bought a few Blu-Rays that were slipcover-less. I absolutely HATE IT when I walk in a store and find a film with a slipcover and realizing that mine didn't come with one.

sfmarine · 08-25-2009, 08:03 PM

Great tread for the slip-cover posse to unite. We've needed a tread for a while now. I'd always been checking out hidefdigest's tread since they had one dedicated for slipcovers.

So who has a favorite? I love the Disney/Pixar ones.
At Worlds End, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, A Bug's Life & Wall*e are my fav's..
Watchmen Lenticular & Beetlejuice are great as well. I'm still trying to find a Clone Wars one...

My rarest is definitely Dracula.

Props to the mod who made this a sticky.

Only problem is that often slipcovers are only included in the first run of the Blu-rays and future versions usually don't have slipcovers.

I'm not 100% sure, but i think target had the exclusive one with the illusion that animates it when you move it side to side....

jrchisholm · 08-25-2009, 10:13 PM

^^^ You are correct. Target had lenticular slipcover when it was first released.

sfmarine · 08-26-2009, 02:18 PM

I could swear I saw one @ Best Buy with a slipcover.

nincollector · 08-27-2009, 12:45 PM

May be I am hallucinating, but has anyone seen a slipcover for Donnie Brasco BD Extended Cut?

I'm pretty sure Donnie Brasco has NEVER had a slipcover.
