I guess...I think this is specially funny because when we bought Mickey, Donald, Goofy The Three... I think we threw the slipcover away. If it wasn't that, it was something else but I distinctly remember throwing a slipcover away.

why to care so much about this things?
I mean, they just are like an alternative cover to a DVD,not another disc or something

Go For Indiana Jones.

I distinctly remember throwing away every slipcover I've ever acquired.

I'm half tempted to make a video of myself tearing all my slipcovers in half and posting it here, just to freak certain people out, but maybe I should do something more constructive with them, like line the bottom of my rabbit's cage.

Looking back on this thread, I realized something. Slipcovers really do control the world. I mean, look at the thread. It started out with someone asking whether to get Star Wars or Indiana Jones on DVD, and we managed somehow to change it into yet another slipcover thread. Those things control our minds, man! I know I contributed to, if not started the slipcover discussion on this thread, but look how much we've all gotten into it. It's scary.

Don't tell Alan that! He'll probably faint or something. He's obsessed with those things. Did Pasta tell you that the only reason why he bought Bambi was because of the slipcover? He hates the movie, he thinks it's boring.

Alan would die!!! That'd be worse than a video of Lazario in slow motion carefully moving his slipcovers into the trash bin....

I know what slipcovers are Lazario I also buy them without the slipcover...

Oh, do it. I would kill to see the reactions of some people on this forum.

The next time I buy a DVD with a slipcover, I'm going to get out a camera- because you're not going to want to miss a beat. I'm going to throw the slipcover out the window and see if it can fly. Honestly, since I understand now that there are people who think they're some kind of miracle or something. Or maybe I'll boil it up in a pot of water and feed it to sick people, see if it can cure the common cold or something!

They adore them because it makes the DVD look better and it protects the DVD. Although there's not much to look at. The Bambi slipcover looks just like the actual cover.

Can it protect the DVD from being flattened by a steamroller? Or toasted in a fire?

I highly doubt people get the slipcover because it "protects" the DVD. I'd leave that to the case. People only want them because they are sometimes shiny or open like a book. Plus, we're human. If we see something with less (movie with no slipcover) and something with more (movie with slipcover), most will choose the one with more.

Those aren't normal occurrances in the life of a DVD.

Maybe they should start releasing them in tins like the Disney Treasures instead of the slipcovers. . . oh wait, that wouldn't work either. Nevermind.

I think Slip Covers are a total waste.

I also Love all 6 Movies, But I am a Star Wars Die Hard fan. So I would buy that one first, I have both sets though. If you look around you can get the Indy Trilogy pretty cheap. I got mine for 19 or 20 on sale at Cost-Co. Also keep a eye out for used copies. I bought the Star Wars trilogy at Blockbuster Video for my brother-in- Law for christmas for 20 bucks.

If they released the movies like the Disney Treasures, I can just hear the cries now...
"Forty bucks for the piece of crap called The Black Cauldron? Honestly, Disney!"
"I hate The Little Mermaid. I just like the box. It's shiny."
"Box Lovers Unite!"
"Isn't there a little too much covering the DVD? I mean, it's just a DVD! Sure it's a great movie, but..."

Also, what matters is the very movie

I know that. You know that. Pasta knows that. Lazario, I think, knows that. There are some people here, unhappily, who do not know/understand the concept of buying a DVD to watch the actual movie.
