I just picked up my copy at Walmart ... 1 disk. So tempted to pick up the gift set, but with all the reports of breakage .....

I just got mine this morning at Target. It's one disc (movie on side a/b, features on b after the movie), it comes in a glossy case that looks and opens like a book (about the size of a book too). They should've made this a 2 disc.

I can handle movie on one side and features on another. It's when you have to flip to see the rest of the movie that annoys me.

Just got mine. 1 disc digipak (I have a feeling this is the only type).

The packaging is much better than I was aniticipating. It's very rigid and sturdy, with a nice gloss to it. No problem staying closed on its own. It also came with a really nice book full of photos (not sure if this was just a Best Buy thing, or if everyone got one - it was housed outside the actual case).

Yeah this is a Best Buy only 50 minimum per store thing.

Received a one-disc keepcase from Amazon.

Am still hoping to find a two-disc version.

And so far the #1 choice on the poll is 2-disc keepcase.

Could someone who voted show a photo of their discs and tell us where you got it?

People are obviously just voting for what they want, not what they're getting. I don't think a 2 disc exists in stores.

I voted for the 2-Disc keepcase, but I didn't read the poll before voting. I was voting for the one that I would buy if it was an option.

I was on the fence as to whether I actually wanted to buy this movie in the first place and now that I know that it's only available in a flipper version (at a reasonable price) I'm passing.

again for anyone who is curious. the 1 disc (im assuming the only version available minus the collectors set) is NOT a FLIPPER case (ala Creepshow or Goodfellas) its a digpak, that looks like a book or a little bit bigger than a DVD case. it has a glossy finish front and back, opens up like a book, the dvd is held in a tray on one side, and the other side holds a small booklet in a pouch type design (but open at the bottom). I would take pictures but I can't the camera working.

I didn't think so many people could be so stupid, but then I remembered the Democratic party.

Okay, I figured the HUGE RED LETTERING would have given people a clue as to what the poll was about, but obviously people just click away without reading.

Well, this entire release is just very very disappointing.

picked it up this morning at Target...I got the only frickin WideScreen copy they had! But I saw a box on the cart that said Schindlers List so I guess they just hadnt put the WS's out yet...oh well...I love the packaging...just great and classy...and I guess i can live with a DVD-18...mmm...

I think what was misleading about the poll was that it posted before the release date. So for anyone just casually skimming it, they probably voted for what they would buy and not what they had already bought (since it wasn't street date yet).

Unnecessary... and offensive.

jough:

1. I don't think there's any reason to be so insulting.
2. As a technical writer, I can tell you that if so many people (nearly 50% of people responding) misread/misunderstand what you have written, it is your fault. Some aspect of the poll was unclear to readers.

Although it may be more comforting to believe that your writing was incredibly clear and precise and that everyone else is an idiot.

Got mine at Best Buy. Digipak, 1 disc, picture booklet.

So far it seems the European/Australian version of Schindlers´s List SE will be a 2-disc set, with the Collector´s edition being a 2 disc + CD soundtrack.

I wrote:
Would you say that is in any way ambiguous? It is also bold and in large friendly red letters.

Also, I'm not convinced that 50% of the voters misunderstood, especially since a number of reviews have now surfaced that call it a 2-disc set. I can see one site making a mistake, but not five.

Now, perhaps Dreamworks only sent the 2-disc set as a review copy, but it's clear that this version exists.

Not at all... assuming that people get that far down in their reading.

However, you posted this before the release date, with a title of "Schindler's List Packaging Poll - Keepcase, Digipak, 2-disc, Flipper?"

The title doesn't say "What Schindler Packaging Did You Receive?" or some such.

People read the title, saw the poll choices, and (obviously) selected their preference. You weren't ambigious in your post, but you were incorrect in your assumption that everyone would read it.

Well, the poll question is "What variation on packaging did you buy?"

And as I said, if people just click on anything without reading the poll question first, there is no way to combat that stupidity. It wouldn't matter *how* you phrased it if someone didn't read it anyway.

But not the TITLE OF THE THREAD.

I'm obviously not going to be able to convince you that your poll was confusing/unclear. But I would think that the incredibly large percentage of responses for non-existing packaging would speak for itself.

got mine at BB. I was looking at the gift set....just didnt do anything for me.

Single disk Digipack WS version from Fry's.

Thank goodness I waited to repsond until I actually bought it so I wouldn't be insulted! -wink-

All my local Best Buy had was Digipack (single disc) or the Big Box Set.

I picked up the single disc.

Then, why did CNN's review today on Headline News say "The release comes in a 2 disc set"?
