It's just a thicker plastic case. I'm not sure why it was mentioned in this thread unless it was released with a slipcover somewhere. I haven't seen a copy at retail that was anything other than a thicker Blu-Ray case.

I really hope this isn't a thread crap, but I have to agree. Could someone enlighten me as to why this question exists?

Well. DVDTalk is a site used by a lot of DVD collectors. And collectors like to know that when they buy a DVD they get everything that is supposed to come with it. People want to know whether the new Bluray they bought is supposed to have a slipcover or not. It can be useful to some. For those that don't care if they get the slipcover or not it doesn't matter.

Also it is fun to keep track of all those Bluray disc that are not just in a standard elite case.

Did anyone ever get a copy of BS Dracula with the slipcover??

I've heard people talk of it, but have never seen it in any store. I bought my copy on release day and none of them had the covers....

I meant O-card. I never use the term, but I've heard people use it when referring to the slipcover/slipcase(the cardboard sleeve slipped over the plastic case of a lot of DVDs these days).

I bought mine from Best Buy on release date and I believe it has the slipcover. I will double check when I get home.

I'm pretty sure it's a case where the slipcover is not available in Canada. Similar to the cardboard outer-case of Lost Season 3 is not available on copies in Canada.

The Dracula slipcover seems to be somewhat rare or limited. Not even every release day copy had one. I imagine it was limited to a certain percentage of the first run.

I got a slipcover on Dracula when I bought it from Outpost.com (Fry's on-line store) during their $9.98 Blu-ray sale.

Happily N'Ever After has the slipcover. I don't own it, but I saw it at the store today with the slipcover on it. Is this movie any good? It has alot of big name stars doing the voices of the characters but I never heard if it was good.

All I know is the that the people behind it had worked on Shrek, but it wasn't from Dreamworks. Considering I think the Shrek movies are overrated(I really only like the CGI-animated movies from Pixar and Blue Sky/20th Century Fox), I never bothered to see it. It was a bomb though with no love from the critics if that helps you.

I know the Ocean's Trilogy come together in a box, but does Ocean's Thirteen(I think that's the only one released individually) come with a sleeve?

I think half of them have always been shipped without one.

I've also seen it at Best Buy where the Lost Season 3 Blu-ray with the cardboard box was marked at over $100 while the regular plastic case was marked at $70-something. I don't know if it was a mistake in tagging the price, but if it wasn't, it was a ripoff.

I saw something similiar the week it was released. The first day it was available they had one copy left without the sleeve, and it was like $60. I went back a few days later and all they had were the sleeved versions for over &100.
