I love them aswell. Really disappointed Heat wasn't released as a digibook. Seems a title worthy of one.
I don't have a big collection of them yet. I will get the North by Northwest one next. Gonna see who those new Fox titles look from Germany.
I thought I would show you some close-ups of the German Warner Premium Collection I Am Legend.
All the text inside inside is in German. The digibook comes with a clear plastic sleeve. The ratings logo is printed on that sleeve.

I like 'em. So far I have:
* 300
* Amadeus
* Bonnie & Clyde
* Clash of the Titans
* Dirty Harry
* Doctor Zhivago
* Falling Down
* How the West was Won
* JFK
* The Matrix
* Natural Born Killers
* North by Northwest
* One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
* The Shawshank Redemption

These are on order:
* The Green Mile
* Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Se7en and Goodfellas are next. I'll probably end up getting all of the Warner (U.S.) releases eventually...

As much as I like these I'll never understand the mentality of people who feel they have to collect them all. They aren't really an official collection or anything they're just certain movies that a studio chooses to put in this particular packaging. I could maybe even see if they were numbered or something like The Criterion Collection even though I still don't completely get that either but it makes a little more sense. I guess to me its one thing if you like all the movies, but if I don't like a movie or thought it was just okay or whatever I'm not buying it just because its a digibook. I get that people like to collect but it just seems silly to collect something even if you don't really care for the contents on the disc.

Just curious - but what happens of the sprockets that hold the disc inside break? What would you do then? Has it happened to anyone yet?

I've yet to see a digibook for a film that didn't interest me. That's also why I didn't import the German ones for 10,000 BC or The Golden Compass.

Haven't heard of this happening to anyone yet, though if it did I suppose the best course of action would be to contact WB (or Sony) about it and see if a replacement was possible.

What do you do if you damage your tv set packaging? That is one to ponder for you. Damn if some people don't want others to quit buying digibooks. I don't see how hard it is to keep your cases safe. As a matter of fact I have had more regular cases damaged due to things like melted shrinkwrap on the spine than I have had with a digibook, which has been zero problems so far.

Hate to revive a thread from last year but speaking of quality issues with digibooks, I have to ask:

Does anyone else have any problems w/ the digibook release of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Most of the pages in mine are creased in odd ways and even torn on one side (as if someone took a knife to the images and scratched the ink off). I tried to contact WB but I've heard absolutely nothing. To make it worse, I'm in Canada and I can't find a Canadian customer service line or contact for WB at all.
