Pixar Double Dipping.... - Blu-ray Forum

SAP12690 · 06-25-2009, 01:54 AM

I have decided to start double dipping on my Pixar films, since they look so amazing on BD. I so far have Cars and A Bugs Life, Monsters Inc. is already pre-ordered. So to get on track, I would have to re-buy Ratatouille and Wall E. I was thinking:

1. What are the chances of those two titles being on sale for the Up BD Release?
2. Should i get them know, or is there a chance of a possible re-release?
3. Do they both have slipcovers?

PLEASE HELP ME

1. They may be on sale when Up comes out, they might not. There is no way to know.
2. Get them now, I doubt Disney will do a new version of these films anytime soon.
3. My Ratatouille has a slip cover and Wall-E does not.

only the wall-e 3 disc set has a slipcover, Rat. has a slipcover......

if ur patient, a disney sale should pop up on amazon where u can get them for under 20.....but right now, u can get them for 19.99 each so its not that expensive and they are really worth it

IMO, you're not double dipping if you're buying a movie on a different format.

zedd_117 · 06-25-2009, 01:58 AM

Yes, they both have slipcovers (if you can find them with them on in store)

It's Disney, so there's a fairly high chance of them being reissued.

As for the concern of upgrading, Disney anything always sells high, so find a local flea market, craig's list, or ebay and list your DVDs to get rid of them.

I was gonna get them online, i really hope they come with slipcovers, i HATE when they dont.

Given that there is a difference in quality (which 99% of the time there is).

SAP12690 · 06-25-2009, 02:16 AM

So should i go ahead and order them?

here is the 3 disc Wall-E, it's possible you'll get a slipcover with it.

depooter · 06-25-2009, 03:51 AM

I would just go with the 2 disc Wall E (unless you need the digital copy)...and don't forget the Pixar Short Films Collection Vol. 1....

Sir Platypus · 06-25-2009, 05:43 AM

2 disc Wall-e does NOT have a slipcover. Never did.

3 disc MAY have one. When it was released all 3 disc sets that I saw had them, but I've noticed slipcovers missing on that particle movie than the usual rate of movies losing their slipcovers.

rocks off · 06-25-2009, 05:49 AM

Buying online won't guarantee you get the slipcover as they are now selling both Wall-E 3disc and Rat without them. Best bet is to look around the usual retail chains or maybe some others that you don't think would sell-out as often.

PLEASE HELP ME

both Wall-E (3 Disk) & Ratatouille came with one. im not sure if they are still selling them with the slip cover. and, anybody know what the official release date is for Monster's Inc?

AFightingPanda · 06-25-2009, 11:14 AM

Personally I would just skip the three disk set of Wall E the only difference between that and the two disk is the fact that you get a digital copy...yay. just my .02 and I would say if any films are worthy of a re-purchase it would be the pixar films.

The other difference is you get a Slipcover lol. Only reason why I got the 3disk set. I'm a slipcover nut. It's hit or miss with the slips. They usually only print them during the first run. Maybe get Wall*e and if it doesn't come with a slip, post in the trading forum that your looking. A lot of members despise slip covers. So they sell them for $3 or so.

As far as Ratatouille, it came out over a year ago...not sure if the slip is still available. Haven't really looked. You may get lucky.

Weird. Hmmm. I own every Pixar Blu available, and everyone came with a slipcover. Odd. All Amazon purchases.

SAP12690 · 06-25-2009, 04:35 PM

So do you guys think i should just order them through Amazon.com and hope i received them with slipcovers? Who from the forum has ordered them through amazon.com and recieved with covers?
