PLEASE HELP I DO NOT SPEAK DVD-ESE

[peas_and_corn]

In the TOS article about the Australia DVD, it said
“it comes packed in a slimmer package – a two-panel digipack, rather than a plastic case.”
So… What sort of case would it be? What sort of case was the region 2 set?

The UK set is a plastic case (larger than standard DVD cases) with snap-in spaces for 4 DVDs.

Digipacks are typically cardboard with plastic panel fittings for the discs and either fold out or have “pages”, revealing the panels (and the disc).

That was as clear as mud. Maybe someone else can translate that.

Google image search says dvd digipack, dvd plastic case

For example, the Just the Shows sets are digipacks.

That sort-of fold-out boxset? A bit like the complete Blackadder collection, or the new Who boxsets?

I think I would’ve preferred that, actually…

Nah cases are more hardy, particularly with the DVD holder stack things. Digipacks do look nice though.

I’m most pleased with the Blade Runner Digipack I purchased recently. 5 disks…, several different versions of the film, lots of documentary extras and I got it all for ?9.99. Play brought the price down for April Fools day.

I actually ordered it in the early hours of the morning that night, so strictly speaking it was no longer April Fools day, but they hadn’t raised the prices yet. I checked again and the price is now on ?17.99 again. Come to think of it I think 17.99 is pretty good for that amount of content so, I’m pretty chuffed.
