Have you pre-ordered it?

frankie_fan · 04-02-2007, 10:18 PM

No, I haven't. I'm planning to buy it tomorrow or Thursday, because I usually go to my local shopping center for dinner.

I have them saved as a .vob file at the moment

Sure thing. I can't wait for season 2!!!

Also, I'm taking screenshots. Any requests?

OK, I'm starting to come to accept that it's unlikely that this DVD is going to get a proper UK Region 2 release, and that I might have to just bite the bullet and import one from the US. That being so, I would like to ask those of you who own the DVD a logistical question; what's the deal with the packaging?

Let me explain what I mean; from the description that Foster's Geek gave, and from the picture on the NF homepage, it seems like the DVD comes in a standard plastic Amaray keep case, with Store Wars-inspired artwork on the outside, which is then placed inside a slip-on cardboard sleeve, which features images of characters in portraits, a synopsis on the back cover and a large portrait hole on the front for the Bloo on the keep case artwork to peek through.

However, on a lot of other pictures, such as this one from Amazon, a different version is shown, one without a slip-on cardboard sleeve that instead prints the slip-on's artwork directly onto the keep case insert (with Bloo printed flat in the portrait hole), and forgoing the Store Wars artwork altogether.

Therefore, my question is: are there two versions of this disc, one with cardboard sleeve and one without? See, I'm a real sucker for nice, artwork-heavy packaging, and I would feel a little cheated if I got a copy without the interior artwork or fancy sleeve, so I need to know if this is an issue or not before I think about ordering anything. I've seen it happen before that a DVD's packaging gets downgraded later on in their production run - the first two Harry Potter movies, for example, were intially released in beautifully-designed gatefold digipacks, but later editions were simply in bog-standard keep cases.

I would really like my Foster's discs to look as good as possible, so can somebody please clarify this for me?

I've never seen one like the one in your link in stores, they are always like the one I have, with the slip-on thingie. So if the ones without even exist, I've never seen one. So.

I'd guess that maybe the one on the Amazon site was just some sort of promo - I've caught other promo-only versions of Foster's stuff (such as books) pictured on Amazon. It's not like if you ordered that item, that you'd get the promo item as pictured. If you know what I mean. So, if I had to guess, I'd say that you'd get the one with the sleeve.

Ditchy McAbandonpants · 04-11-2007, 07:13 PM

Aha, cheers, Sparky.

That's what I was hoping, really...I suspected that if there were differences in the packaging, someone would have mentioned it by now. My guess is that the picture on Amazon could just be a mock-up they made when the DVD artwork was first released...

Well, that concern dealt with, I've just placed my Amazon order. Yay for me!

I was hoping to buy it through the Never Forgotten Amazon Store, until I realised that, naturally, it works through Amazon.com, not Amazon.co.uk, so I couldn't use it. Sorry, Sparky!

Sparky · 04-11-2007, 07:16 PM

Well, I gotta update the store anyways, I'll look and see if one can have multiple Amazons linked to in a store. I didn't even think of that.
