I'll sell you my slipcover for $20. I have Nemo as well but that one is $50.

Hey Michael thanks but I really don't care about slipcovers...personally the less cardboard the better. Heck I might throw away my Incredibles Slipcover cause it looks like a snapper.

FiveO

Damn slipcover thieves!

Michael Corvin

I'm just throwing it out there. If anyone actually pays for those... . Anyone thinking of hocking them on ebay?

I didn't even bother with BB. Got mine at CC with no fuss. Passed on the B-Ball, though. Nice idea, but I hardly have use for a regular sized one let alone a mini INCREDIBLES basketball.

Target had a gazillion copies with slipcovers. The idiots at Circuit City had a dinky little section (enough to fill 24 copies) and they were sold out. Merchandiser didn't have the brain to stock up on this title. Guess they didn't want the business.

asianxcore

don't know if this is true for all stores, but I work at TRU, and I noticed the Widescreen copies of the Incredibles have those tab locks on the side and the full screen ones dont. just a random little tidbit.

Ahab

Seriously? I think they're a nuisance and throw them away.

FWIW, I got mine at CC and it didn't have the annoying tabs on the side.

At the BestBuy in Chelea NYC, when I Heart Huckabees came out, I picked up a copy of the SE and it felt light. I pulled the DVD out of the keepcase and sure enough it was the single-disc version. I got there pretty early (I think at 10 AM and they opened at 9AM). I told a clerk about it who was pretty shocked. She thanked me and her and a yellow jacket security guy walked all around the store to see if there were others like that. While I was online, I saw the security guy telling the cashiers to check under the slipcover to see if the DVD matches.

you should've just taken it so you could give it away as a gift.

No problems at Best Buy in Southgate, MI. Then again, I've never had an unpleasant experience there. There's a BB in Novi that isn't quite up to their standards though.

That slipcase swapping/stealing thing is a little low...

Al Padrino

Perhaps, but I don't know anyone who'd be in the market for such an item.

And I can do without the slipcovers, but for the record, this one is pretty snazzy and I think it adds a bit to the cover design.

You know what pisses me off more than anything with Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart etc. is when DVD’s have slip covers that aren’t covered in plastic(Most of them) they slap there damn Price sticker right on the Slipcover in the most inopportune spot they can and use THE stickiest glue I believe they could find. When you peel it off either a) it just tears off and leaves half of it there or b) it leaves that nasty sticky residue. Come on stores work with us collectors here maybe put it on the actual DVD which IS covered in plastic instead of the nice slipcase. Those things have gotten me on ton’s of DVD’s.

Rant over, lol.

Maybe the other people have finally learned their lesson and bought just widescreen only. That's why their sold out

Dvds are shipped from the manufacturer that way. Stores generally don't do the shrinkwrapping themselves. Many also arrive at stores prepriced as well. While it would be better for us if the companies removed the slipcases, priced the shrinkwrap, and put them back on, it's probably much more time-consuming to do it that way.

OMG! Same thing out here at my store. I looked a the table up front, peaked at the new release section, made a b line to the sci-fi section and nadda. Went back and took a full pass by the new releases and then found somebody after 5 minutes. He looked it up and started to head towards the tv shows and I was thinking "Wrong place buddy". I told him they were in the wrong place and he should tell his manager. I think he was some 16 year old and didn't really care.

Anyway, I think it looks better without the slip case. Maybe it's a Disney dvd owner thing?.... I'd just as soon not have it on mine.

No First Contact at the BB next to me either. I ended up going to CC. i was going to price match CC at BB but so it goes.

fumanstan

My friend got my copy at CC and i had no issues peeling off the stickers and UPC label. In fact, this was probably the easiest time i've had with taking them off the slipcover. Maybe it was because of the already glossy cover.

As for Best Buy, since the built a new one across the street from CC, i've pretty much only been going to Best Buy. Far bigger and better selection.

Jon22B

Are you sure about that? I only ask becuase I've noticed that dvd's I buy at Best Buy has the thin black security tag right on the middle of the case. DVD's I've bought at CircuitCity has the wider tab (black or white) and most of the time they attach it behind the insert.

I picked up The Incredibles at Ultimate Electronics, not usually known for their great prices on DVDs. Not only was the DVD only $11.85, but it also came with a $5 gift card to Ultimate Electronics. Not a bad deal!!!

Giles

I am pissed off, even though I only paid $11.62 at CVS, all the chains only had the Fullscreen version - grrr.

devilpants

Pics?

Tom Banjo

You mis-read the first post. There was an equal amount of fullscreen and widescreen. But only the fullscreen had slipcases.

Spiky

Pfftt. Try a dozen or more here, plus both recent locations of their world headquarters.
