Rain Man -Special Edition cover

from dvdanswers:

Title: Rain Man
Starring: Dustin Hoffman
Released: February 2004
SRP: $19.95

Further Details
MGM Home Entertainment have sent over the artwork for the region one release of Rain Man: Special Edition which stars Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. This new package will be available to own from February next year and should set you back around $19.95. I'm afraid that disc specs are not currently available but we'll bring you those as soon as we have them. For now though, here's the artwork:

Not too shabby. Looks like another nice slipcover case for MGM.

Another bloody slipcover...

ME: "I have The Usual Suspects SE for trade! It's unopened, brand new!"

OTHER GUY: "But does it have a slipcover?"

ME: "Um... no... that was for the first few thousand pressings only..."

OTHER GUY:"LIAR! You're just trying to pass off the OLD release! I'm reporting you for LYING!"

- - summary of actual e-mails I got pertaining to a trade.

Nice looking cover. I always thought the picture on the booklet from the current release would make a good cover. I don't have it or else I would scan it but it's a profile of Ray and Charlie when Charlie is teaching Ray how to dance.

don't like it.

they mess up what looks like a really elegant slipcover with critics quotes..

I suppose I should be thankful they're on it, since it keeps 'em off the cover underneath..

I really dislike it when they put quotes on covers. But I must say they do these rather unobtrusively. Very nicely done.

I'd prefer the quotes on the slipcase than the actual cover itself. Less clutter that way.

I don't like it but I'll still get it no matter how bad it looks.

Anybody ever figure out HOW to access the supposedly two varying formats (FF vs. WS) on the existing non-SE Rain Man disc? Mine just starts up (in WS) upon hitting "Play", with no menu choice for AR.

Finally, I get to own this. The slip cover is a nice touch to these DVDs. Gandhi's cover was also nice. I did have a heck of a time removing Fargo, but it was worth it once I popped in the movie.

Nice price point too.
