Two-discs are heavier than single releases.

I agree with you. There is no 2 disc edition. They are all D18 disc. DVDFiles review kinda hints that. If there indeed would have been a 2 disc version DVD File would have mentioned this in their review but they donīt. Conclusion: Five versions only. and no 2 disc version.

If someone suggests otherwise, please post an image.

Widescreen - Keep Case - Single Disc (Flipper) 2 6.06%
Widescreen - Keep Case - Double Disc 10 30.30%

So if there's no 2-disc edition, where did those ten people get theirs?

Have those ten people actually bought it or just selected the one they want to buy ??

I thought I made the criteria pretty clear - it seems unlikely that ten different people (making up about a third of the poll) would be confused.

Anyway, the disc(s) haven't even been officially released yet. I'm sure we'll hear from more people this week about which version they received.

I just got my copy from Buy.com. It's the one-disc version, but the packaging is a different kind of digipack. Instead of the flimsy cardboard that most digipacks are made of, this package is about twice as thick and has a glossy cover. Also, there's no slip-cover over it. It's quite nice.

I don't have it yet but I'm going to get the box set.

I'm going to pay for mine with pennies instead of a $20, because pennies are shinier and harder to damage, and it'll look like I'm paying more that way.

there is no 2-disc version..people are just way confused. i don't even think there is a keepcase version. they all come in digipaks or whatever they are (thin booklet type packages), single disc and that's it..either FS or WS and then that box set..why do people have to confuse such a simple situation?

A single disc digipak? Has this been done before?

Yes.
Saturday Night Fever for one.
And, Universal has done it with some of its "Franchise Collections", such as this one (1 disc, dual-sided)......

That's not a good thing, IMO.
Will the package actually stay CLOSED by itself? Or does it have the "All In The Family Season 1 Syndrome", meaning it won't stay fully shut?

And Grease as well.

Right...and the first Panic Room.

It's a rather silly waste of packaging, IMO, for a 1-discer. But, oh well....

But, since evidently the Schindler Digi does not come with a second "part" (ie: slipcase), I guess in this instance it's not a huge "waste".

Same here. I got mine this AM from Chapters. Feels like a hardcover book when you hold it. No slip case. The film synopsis, bonus materials, etc... are on a separate thin cardboard sheet which sadly you can't fit anywhere inside the case.

Would it, then, be similar to the "Lawrence Of Arabia" "book" packaging, which "snaps" shut? Therefore, no need for any slipcase.

No, it doesn't snap shut. It's cardboard cover is the same thickness as Lawrence though. I guess some will not like the fact that it doesn't snap shut, but for me it's OK.

Yeah, it does kind of bend open a bit if it's just sitting by itself.

Why does every studio out there feel they have to reinvent the frickin wheel with every release? What's wrong with a keepcase?

How can there be no 2 disc if people already have it?

my columbia house catalog lists it as a 2 disc version. usually their catalog is right.

Not this time.

The review of the dvd over at dvdfile.com states that its a 2-disc set.

If it helps (and I doubt it will, since I don't think we'll hear reports of people getting Region 1 2-disc sets... I don't just mean poll results, I mean, people actually saying, "Yeah, I got the 2-disc version and I got it from Suncoast for $30! What a bargain!"), all the digipaks we have in our store list on the back that it is "Dual layered, Dual sided". If there is as 2-disc version, I'm guessing instead of "Dual Sided", it'll list it as "Two Discs" or something. Also, we have only the digipaks at my Best Buy. No clue what other stores will have/stock, or, really, what even exists at this point. We'll see.

I risked it and ordered mine from amazon, they list it as a "Keepcase".
