Schindler's List Packaging Poll - Keepcase, Digipak, 2-disc, Flipper?

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).

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?

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
PLEASE ONLY SELECT THE VERSION(S) YOU'VE ACTUALLY PURCHASED

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.

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.
