Harry Potter 3 packaging question (1 Viewer)

[Paul_Stachniak]

So I'm gathering from this picture, that Warner has scraped the digipack for the third Harry Potter film in favor of a dual keep case?



Because if so that's really lame. Way to keep continuity Warner!

 

[Artur Meinild]

I was wondering the same thing, and yes, that is indeed quite lame, and a good way to make me wait buying this release...

 

[Cees Alons]

Still buying cases i.s.o. films?

No matter what you say, packaging is still part of the product you buy, so I expect a good packaging, and in the case of a series, a consistent packaging. It's not like I wont see HP3 because of the case, but maybe I wont buy it, that's all there is to it...

 

[Christian Preischl]

A friend of mine will be selling off the previous releases and buying the box set because of the packaging inconsistencies! I'm sure the studios love guys like him.

I can't say I'm 100% happy about the change myself, but it certainly won't affect my buying decision.

You have got to be kidding me.

 

[Tim Glover]

Nice packaging is a nice thing, but at the end of the day it's the freakin' movie that counts! One of the better films of 2004 too.

Geez, I wasn't too crazy about the cover art to AB's Highlander, but I still bought it. Choose your battles, man.

 

[Vader]

This is why God made custom cover art, scanners, and blank cases. All of my digipacks, snappers, etc have been replaced with blank keep cases (www.inetdvd.com) and coverart printed on a standard inkjet printer. Google is your friend...

 

[Sam Davatchi]

I just bought this movie today and yes it's in dual keep case.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

A thin one atleast, though, right? Because if it's an 5-star collection style case that will be especially inconsistent.

 

[Tony Whalen]

What Derek said.

I replaced the digipacks from the first two HP movies long ago. So this is just fine.

If I don't like packaging...I'll still buy the movie. I'll just make my own package to hold it.

 

[Sam Davatchi]

Yes a thin one-disc one.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Good

 

[Artur Meinild]

OK I was kidding, I'm still buying, but I also still think it's a stupid decision, because I actually liked the digipack for HP 1 and 2...

 

[Paul_Stachniak]

I dont know why you woulnd't buy it cause of packaging. I just thought it is silly of Warner to change it like this.

Imagine if New Line decided to release the last Rings EE in a 4 disc armary case.

 

[Vader]

Actually, I have already converted the LotR EE discs to 4-disc cases using custom art.... However, I love the cases they come in (I archive them, but do not store the discs in them - terrible hubs IMO)

 

[Kwang Suh]

Different director = different case?

 

[Chris]

I say this and everytime I do people go "OH NO!"

I immediately shell the movie from the case and put it in a set of 500 disc binders, which are nicely labeled "Kids movies" "Sci-Fi" "TV-Series" "Drama" "Comedy"

Then just box up the cases and keep them in keeps in the shed.

Then again, I continuously lobby that time will come when cases go the way of CD Longboxes and we just get the disc in a standard CD case.

Loved the movie, will buy the film

 

[Nick Sievers]

A bizarre choice by WB on this one. Is it really that hard to be consistent? Obviously i'll still buy it. I thought this one was far and away the best Harry Potter film yet (non reader opinion).
