I think they will eventually migrate to keepcases. They are doing it on a title by title basis, probably to see how much money it will cost them. In a year or so I think almost all releases will be in keepcases. I hope I'm right; I hate the snapper.

I do. And I added one, somewhere (and an "n").


I think this sentence should read: "I do? And I added one, somewhere (and an "n")?"

I like to change that screenshot occasionally, but I would have to say this is one of my favorites of all time.

Anyway...as much as I used to hate snappers, I've really gotten used to them. At this point, I really don't care if they finally switch.

Die, snappers, die! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm glad they're FINALLY using Amaray keep cases for the packaging!

I don't think Warner has stopped using the snapper case. Their newest DVD release, Matchstick Men, is being released with a snapper. I wish Warner would stop using them. Please change to Amaray cases!!

Weird thing is, the Matchstick Men special edition with the soundtrack CD is in an amaray case, but the regular edition is in a snapper.

Snapper cases break easy. They are a pain to snap close. Snapper cases are more likely to break in used DVD bins at video stores.

Be seeing You,

"Weird thing is, the Matchstick Men special edition with the soundtrack CD is in an amaray case, but the regular edition is in a snapper."

Warner's been using keepcases for all new 2-disc releases (Matchstick Men+ CD, Mambo Italiano + CD, Matrix Reloaded, Terminator 3, etc.) [not including those WB 2-disc Classics]

While they still use snappers for 1-disc releases. Don't know if this link to amazon signals a change in this though.

I personally don't mind snappers that much...the dvd holder is awesome.

I'm not a big fan of snapper cases, but I will say this for them. Of all the DVDs I've bought to find loose inside the case, absolutely none of them were in snappers. In terms of uniformity though I hope they get rid of them, they stick out like sore thumbs on my shelves.
