I was in Tesco's earlier and I noticed that they have The Bourne Identity and Supremacy in the 2 for £10 and they've been issued with new slip covers (they're almost black and white in design) to celebrate The Bourne Legacy, Ultimatum only had a mini slip advertising Universal's 100th Anniversary.

I would have grabbed the first two Bourne's but they weren't 100% minty fresh.

Didnt have any in mine. They were all slipless. Just had a 100th anniversary sticker stuck on them.

Did you grab any pics?

No the phone I had with me is camera free.

They're pretty nice too (apart from the Blu banner), the old cases are underneath the slip. £6 each or 2 for 10. They're different from the white box trilogy. I've had a look for pictures but the internet seems oblivious to them at the moment.

If I go to Tesco's again I'll try and grab a picture.

The only slips I've seen we're the blue 100th anniversary ones that are in Hmv. You know you scan them in and see the image comes alive

Yes the Augmented Reality version.

They do indeed change reality, most consumers go from annoyed (when they can't get the thing to work) to pissed off when they see that their new reality doesn't quite live up to what it should have been (when it finally does work)....

Don't you just love surprise slips! Very cool - haven't seen these yet. Cheers for the heads up.

I assume all three have been re-issued with slips and Ultimatum was only available in slip free.

Mavrick is our Tesco agent, I wonder if he can add anything?

I don't know about Tesco's and what they stock but yeah, all three have been re-issued with the new black and white style slips.

They look great. Shame they were all dinged up in Tesco's!

methuselah · 07-20-2012, 01:40 AM

Are these exclusive to Tesco / Play or will they be available for general worldwide consumption through, say, Amazon?

AddemFlood · 07-20-2012, 01:42 AM

Ah man I really like those. Might bite the bullet and buy them and sell the boxset.

Chariots Of Fire comes with a slip (although mine got a little dinged on the spine due to HMV's recent plastic bag approach to packaging).

It's pretty nice actually and it has different cover art to the actual amaray. I'll try and get some pics later.

Also in case anybody didn't know, 21 Jump Street has a slip (yay, Sony actually did a slipcover for a comedy film!).

ricster · 07-20-2012, 02:07 PM

Received three titles today, advertised with slips from Amazon France.

Mr and Mrs Smith
In the Electric Mist

Michael Clayton

The top two were dispatched from third party but by amazon.fr it said and have come slipless

Michael Clayton has a slip.

I've contacted Amazon and they said they'd issue new copies but as its third party they wont.

I have 2 options, return for a complete refund, or they'll issue 3.50 EURO compensation.

What would you do?

Thanks
