Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
4 here....well 3 blu's & 1 hd dvd. I even double dipped just so I could have the 300 CE digibook. That one is too sweet as the front cover is raised up some.

KotCS is not a Digibook. Its the Blu-ray packaged with a book. The two are not bound together.

Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
Interesting. I've seen the BD + Book by itself at Target. Was that a different exclusive?

Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
I really like digibooks and think they're a great way to set apart certain classic and important films with unique packaging.
My only complaint is that WB seems to be pretty random in their selection of what titles get a digibook. Falling Down doesn't exactly fit next to the likes of North by Northwest in the classic cinema canon. Cool Hand Luke, on the other hand, would be a no-brainer for a digibook, but it has a standard BD case. Go figure. The digibooks I currently own are: Dr. Strangelove How The West Was Won Bonnie & Clyde One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The Matrix Batman ('89) |
Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
would love them if they were the same height as a regular case.

Shouldn't be too hard. I routinely see Target stores blowing them out for as little as $19. Of course, it's been a little while since I really looked...

Getting a book with cool stuff about the movie is great, but give it to me inside a case. |
Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
I have 300, Falling Down and Poltergeist. There's nowhere to even put the 300 Digital Copy disc. If I could trade them for the same thing in a regular case with just an insert booklet, I would.
The thing I hate the most is the back spec sheet not being the actual back cover. It gets too beat up if you leave it booger-glued in place, so I have to fold it and throw it inside the book. |

Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
I have two, I just don't care for the irregular size of them... and I don't really see the point. I gave the booklets a cursory glance and that was it... If they offer them in a regular case down the road I'll be tempted to trade-in. Do they really expect to sell any more than they would with a shiny slipcover? (which I also don't like)

The Matrix digital copy is the same way. It came in a sleeve glued to the back. It's a good thing I don't care about digital copies because I have no idea where the hell I put that disc. |

The thing with KOTCS digibook is that it was an exclusive to one store(Target Im thinking) Other stores had different exclusives for it as well and they weren't all digibooks like most of DB releases. It's possible they had 2 different ones at target. I bought mine from Ebay so I don't remember which store had the digibook exclusive |

Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
The only digibook I have is Silverado. I would have prefered a standard case. However, it was just $14 and change for a movie I love (and looks and sounds beautiful on BD) so I wasn't about to pass up.

Worth it to buy? |
Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
I love digibook packaging. I think it's great personally. It's more unique and useful to my desires. Having something to read along with the film is a great idea - the more essays included, in particular, the better. That aspect makes me feel like these are true film fan editions - akin to Criterion releases because of their nice booklets.

Re: Blu Ray Books...Your Thought?
I like the books, only have a couple though. Why are they releasing a standard version of Amadeus now though? If they release them as books, they should leave them alone and focus their efforts on releasing different movies!
