Warner Bros: no more digipacks?
I guess along with the 2-disc editions of The Lost Boys and Goodfellas, this signaled the end of the 2-disc digipack series. It's a shame they were the nicest sets Warner put out, now we just get them in the usual old keepcases. Anyone know if Warner has plans to release any other dvds in digipacks?

I'll take a keepcase over a crappy piece of cardboard any day of the week. I hope they really have eliminated them forever for their 1-Disc & 2-Disc releases. With any luck they'll go Alpha for all their mult-disc releases too, then I'll have that many less disintegrating cases in my collection. The last thing we need is for the studios to go back to their VHS case mentality.

I have to agree with joliom on this one. I like keep cases over anything. While I'm pretty anal about handling my DVDs, it seems that any paper-based packaging (digipak, snapper) gets worn just removing it from the shelf.

I too also prefer the keep cases over all other dvd cases. I'm not a big fan of the 2-disc digipack and absolutely hate the snapper.
I don't think Warner stoped using the 2-disc digipack. From pictures on the internet, it looks like the upcoming se of the Shawshank Redemption will be a digipack.

The evidence presented (The Lost Boys and Goodfellas) hardly seems conclusive to me. In fact, Goodfellas in a digipak would have looked downright silly in the Scorsese box set with the other 4 in keep cases.
Are you jumping the gun a little here or do you have other evidence that you've not presented? Because I don't think you've even come close to presenting a convincing case at this point.

Always have and always been a keepcase fan. Just axe the snappers to make everyone happy

I prefer keepcases. They just hold up better. If they want to make it fancy, they can add a slipcover, but I'd really just as soon have just the keepcase.

Those I'd prefer over a keep case any day.

I emailed Warner Bros., and told them I will no longer buy their movies if they do the crappy cardboard snappers.

I like digipaks. They remind me of fancy laserdisc packaging (just smaller).
I'm glad to see the end of snappers, though. Those suck. I've scanned and reprinted all of my snapper case artwork to convert them for keepcases.

Now that we've all gotten our digipak digs in, can we get back on topic? Is there any real evidence that Warner's is doing away with them? Just my personal opinion, but I think the examples listed (The Lost Boys and Purple Rain) don't quite stand up to most of the other digipak releases I've seen from them. I'm not saying they're not doing away with them, I just don't believe it from the scant evidence so far.
