Digibooks - Blu-ray Forum

Disky76 · 06-17-2009, 09:27 PM

I don't have any Digibooks (yet) in my collection. I like them, however, as they remind me of Laserdisc - a lot of space for notes, art, etc...

How does everyone feel about Digibooks?

Does anyone share my feeling that Blu-Ray should go all-Digibook?

P@t_Mtl · 06-17-2009, 09:28 PM

Not me, I don't truly like them, I hope they don't go that way, I love the cases they got now, small, compact and does the job. When I buy a BD it's for the movie and not about reading a book, if I want a book I will buy one.

I can see your point. I guess I just miss the Laserdisc days, the fantastic art. **Sigh** LOL

If you miss the Laser disc days I have hundreds of them that I cant seem to get rid of.

I don't like them..I have only one and that's The Matrix, they standout in your collection.

try Ebay. That's what I have been thinking about doing. Or...better yet...frame them as art...that's all they really are these days anyway!

One guy did this in his HT room on here, saw the pics, just can't remember who it was. That is what I will do I think eventualy.

Frame your favorites. They look really sharp. Google "Frames for Laserdiscs". The rest would make nice frisbees.

I hate them. I import from other countries to avoid them.

sfmarine · 06-17-2009, 09:44 PM

I don't mind them. I think I have about 6. They do stand out and I like to keep them together. I like the info they have in them but once you read them it's pretty much a lost cause.

FindYourWay · 06-17-2009, 10:08 PM

I don't mind them at all and they don't stand out on my case rack. They blend.
I have 2, Amadeus and Poltergeist.

I love 'em. I wish EVERY release was a Blu-ray Book style case.

I wish all releases were like the thick as hell Lost Season 1 & 2 cases. Those things are SAWEEET!

Harlock415 · 06-17-2009, 10:36 PM

I don't really care for them. Got JFK, not sure is Last Emperor counts though. My fear s something happening to the case. Like the hub losing it's grips to hold the discs like has happened to a few DVDs I have. Normally you's just get another case and replace the cover insert. Can do that with a digibook.

FIDDYPOP · 06-17-2009, 10:54 PM

I think Digibooks are cool. I have a few. "Shawshank redemption", "One Flew Over the Cocoos Nest", "Natural Born Killers". I think that they are cool because they are different.

Not to mention that it just isnt that important to me. I dont care that every disk I own is not uniform.

Its all about the movies.
