Just received this today from Amazon and it is NOT a digibook. It's a hard slipbox with separate thin little book inside along with a 2-disc amaray case. Nicely made but still a bit disappointing after all the anticipation since this was first announced.

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Really! That's disappointing, i guess its kind of like last years the Exorcist edition then... Mine still hasn't been posted yet, wonder if its worth keeping or cancelling and waiting for the UK steel...?

Anyway, thanks for the heads up @bobzilla

That's a great shame. Looking at the Amazon image now, its possible to see that the box for this release is thicker than the book itself - obviously to hold the amaray case and the book. What's happening with Warner?, they have really lost the plot when it comes to digibooks - after setting the pace in past years!

Oh man, that's a huge let down. I had this pre-ordered and canceled it days before release because of all the incoming steelbooks. Glad I did...maybe the steelbook will be a lot better than this.

I think it's time to drop Warner an email about this. By now digibook/blu-ray book is a pretty established term. The promotional image is misleading (it looks like the Bridge On the River Kwai digibook), and Warner should be more clear about what they are actually selling here. I like digibooks precicely because it's everything in one place.

What's worse is the transfer itself. They crammed the extended cut onto a single disc with around 15 mbps bit rate.

I am too dissapointed that it comes with an amaray. Would be much better if it atleast was a thin digipack. Anyway, glad to finally have it and it's a nice package.

@NoDingsNoScratches

I've had a close look. No blue dots on mine. Where on the slipbox do you have them?
