That's completely within his rights, Hal. I've voted neutral plenty times when I don't agree with a change but know it follows the rules.


I don't think I said it wasn't within his rights.  I simply said it was interesting.

I can't help but wonder since we are talking abut contents and NOT CASE type.


We ARE talking about CASE TYPE.

Whether you use "Slip Case" as a CASE TYPE is determined not only by the outer cover, but also the inner contents (single unit or multiple units).

Quoting skipnet50:

Then would a TWO disc set with a Slip Cover not be just a Keep Case or perhaps Digipak(as appropriate). IF we are actually discussing CASE TYPE, then contents are irrelevant and the definition is wrong.

Skip



If the two discs are in in separate units (two individual keepcases or digipaks), then it would be a slipcase. 

If it is a single unit (2-disc keepcase or 2-disc digipak) then it is a Keepcase (or digipak) with a Slip Cover.

This is not hard!

Agreed. Neutral has just the same effect as not voting at all, and there is no rule that compels anyone to vote if they don't want to.

Anyway, I also took note of what Hal said

Instead of acquiescing to the rule, you should be standing up and demanding that the rules be fixed.


Nice concept...however, this forum is not the place for that.  Whenever a new idea is suggested to amend the rules there is always someone to shout "It's the rules so just do it".

On topic....until today I've been confused about the whole case issue (partly because I haven't been reading these threads...even this one bored me stupid after 7 pages of useless ranting).

However, I CAN SEE where Skip and Rifter are coming from (never thought I'd say that again  ) that a Slip Case and Slip Cover should just be the same thing and that how many 'units' inside shouldn't make a difference.
BUT - that's not what Ken said and therefore we don't do it.

Now I've read what Ken said I understand the rule and will abide by it.

P.S. Despite some people feeling picked on in this thread I have to say that I thought the general tone was quite mild in comparison to how things were a few months ago.

Am I confused or is that the exact opposite of what Skip and Rifter are saying, aren't they saying that slipcase and slipcover are two different things? And the contents should not dictate what the case type is.  I am not trying to answer for either of you, just trying to get it straight in my head   

I understand Ken's decision for the type of case and can go along with it.  As far as my db is concerned it really doesn't matter much either way. But I do understand other side of the argument too.  I have been away from DVDP for a while remodeling my daughters home and it wasn't until today that I even realized "boxset" no longer exists, so I guess a reread of the rules is probably in order.

I think he didn't mean "Slip Case = Slip Cover" but he meant a) Slip Case = Slip Case = Slip Case.... and b) Slip Cover = Slip Cover = Slip Cover.... independent of what is inside of the Slip C.

Ok, I can understand that, but it does go to show that two people reading the same sentence don't always read it the same way.  Which I think is part of the problem with the arguments about the rules. Thank you for clearing that up.

we are using more than one definition for the same object based on an arbitrary assumption that a TV boxset is somehow different than a movie boxset.


No, we don't. We have the same definition regardless of if it's a TV boxset or movie boxset. We look at the actual container. If there are more than one unit (case) inside a cardboard box, the cover type is slip case. If it's one unit (case) inside a some coardboard (regardless of where the opening is) it's the inner case type with the slip cover checked. It's a very simple consept and has nothing to do with what is on the discs.

And to me, the rules makes perfect sense



The other day, someone submitted a modified profile of Hellboy, the Directors Cut (NL version, the one inside the giftset). It is a cardboard cover with 3 individual THINpaks inside. According to your definition (the correct one) it should be a SLIP CASE. This person changed that to THINPAK and slipcover BECAUSE it in one movie with on the other discs bonusfeatures. The contribution got numerous YES votes and not one NO vote. AND this person is very high on my rating for accuracy. If even he misinterprets the rules, I fear for our database..

So more about cases... I was wondering I have added a case type to `Ocean's Twelve` (7-321906-182472).
A user added `it's a HD Slim Case` and voted no. In my opinion this Blu-ray is in a regular HD Keep Case.

The case is the same as the one Spiderman 3 is in, 300 and most of the other Blu-rays seperatly available?

Any light on the subject for me?

There are some images of HD cases in this topic, it seems that normal HD cases are almost as thick as standard keep cases, HD Slim (otherwise known as Elite I believe) are just over half as thick.

case type related question, so figured i'd post it here instead of starting a new thread

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith: Walmart Exclusive With Bonus DVD


Region 1

Released: 11/1/2005

Full Frame 1.33:1





what would be the proper case type for this set. Its a 'box set' and there are seperate profiles for episode 3 and the bonus dvd. It is currently listed as keep case, but there really is no case on the set as it was just held together by a sticker that was half on both cases and shrink wrap around the two.
