The Valeyard

Good list here. Completely updated.

And McGruber:

Thakns!! now I am pissed cuz I got the Shazaam sans cover!! I will have to buy it again, keep the cover and return the case.

I ended up getting the Macgruber dvd instead of the BR, cuz it was $11 vs $30 and doesnt seem like a movie that require any HD.

IstvanTheHun

yes we know, though its not that appropriate to direct people off this forum. We should make a list here that trumps that one.

The Valeyard

So take the information provided at that forum (Copy & Paste) and update it for this one. When I started the DVD Slipcover Thread, I had to pull information from multiple places before getting around to full updates (by visiting Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and Wal-Mart EVERY Tuesday).

Man, I wish I had that kind of time again.

FYI - There are two versions of Superman/Shazam. A regular Blu-Ray edition and a 2-Disc "Special" edition which includes a digital copy.

The 2-Disc digital copy comes with the slipcover. The single Blu-Ray does not.

IstvanTheHun

i cant find that 2 disc ANYWHERE here...tried BB, Target, WalMart....nothing. only the regular version sans cover....

adrenaline78

Pretty sure my target had the one with the slip..

IstvanTheHun

takes the fun out of the whole project to cut and paste....besides, I had some issues with that list. and I'm sticking to US releases since I cannot possibly vouch for Euro or Asian releases.

IstvanTheHun

Thank you! the list was updated.


hey, what is the deal with the Spiderman release? is this a re-release? new editions????

IstvanTheHun

so where did you get it?????

WalMart didnt even carry it in BR, just DVD. Target had one single copy of the single disc edition, while Best Buy had an entire display, but only the single version.

Kory

I saw the version with slipcover at Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. At least a dozen copies at each store.

IstvanTheHun

wtf then. is it all sold out here?

you saw that in Michigan right?

The Valeyard

You can easily sort what you want and don't want from their list. It's easier to use the work that's already been done there for older titles that no longer have slipcovers instead of wandering up and down the aisles of BB making guesses on what originally had slips or not. Use their list as reference, not gospel.

I agree about not including Euro & Asian releases. I did the same thing in the DVD Slipcover Thread. US only (and sometimes Canada).

As for Superman/Shazam, I got mine from Amazon sans slipcover which is why I started investigating. I've never seen the slipcover in person.

IstvanTheHun

so how the heck did you get the pic of the sc????

That is exactly why I wont paste that other list - some covers are no longer available! last thing I want is to send someone on a wild goose chase, which is what befalls me all the time.

MrSmearkase

Does that mean that you will be removing titles from list when they no longer press slipcovers?

IstvanTheHun

no I wont, or probably not. but I wont add films that we know no longer have an sc.

i want the list to be somewhat relevant for people searching for covers, such as myself.

MrSmearkase

/\ It seems to me, though, that people often ask whether a title ever came with a slipcover at any point in it's release, regardless of whether it is still easily found at that time.

Kory

I agree. This thread is just a mess.

IstvanTheHun

LMAO whatever. how is it a mess?

we got the list started and its going nicely.

The Valeyard

Good luck.

IstvanTheHun

this is perplexing. other than in this thread, nobody here is aware of a 2-disc version with a cover.

In fact, there isnt even one available on Amazon!

IstvanTheHun

this is unreal. I was talking to the main movie manager at Barnes & Nobles, he was pretty up-to-date on what is released etc...

he swears up and down that this SE of Supes/Shazaam does not exist.
I even had him pull up this site and thread to show him your photo.
He said you either got a European exclusive or you photoshopped that pic lol. he says the single disc non-sc edition is the only one in BR here in the States.

am I going insane or what?

Kory

That guy's a liar. Plenty of people have seen it in store. It's Warner though. Only their first run of all their titles has a slipcover, and in this case, it looks like the first run was very small. It most definitely DOES exist though.

And I wouldn't listen to a guy from Barnes & Noble anyway. Their store policy is generally to throw away all slipcovers before putting the Blu-rays or DVDs on the shelf (with a few exceptions). Even the new "Avatar" release was missing them at my local B&N on Tuesday.
