Obviously you are not a golfer.

This was a blind buy for me and got it at Future Shop. I bought the Unrated WS and it had no slipcover.

Shiny foil finishes are usually reserved for slipcovers. The fact that this case's insert is shiny does point to there not actually being a slipcover. Where is the suggestion that there is one coming from?

This could seriously keep me from buying it. Too bad.

After watching the Unrated version last night, I wished Universal released a Rated widescreen edition as well (or had the option to choose on the disc, ala Universal's American Wedding or New Line's upcoming Wedding Crashers).
The extra footage seriously kills the flick's pacing in some scenes. Some jokes from the theatrical cut are killed in the unrated version (the Everybody Loves Raymond gag is just not funny in the unrated) and some of the scenes go on for way too long.
Maybe one day Universal can double-dip us with both cuts, better transfers, and more deleted footage (simply because it exists).

I got the unrated version without even knowing it. I wasn't aware there was an option, but I'm glad that I picked the version I would've bought had I known there were more than one out there.
