This is probably gonna be a short lived thread, but here goes.
What are the DVDs in your collection do you think deserve special mention in terms of packaging? Here's my list:
- Terminator 2: The Ultimate Edition
- Magnolia
- Fight Club
And the best packaged boxed set I've ever seen: BRAZIL: The Criterion Collection - It's sturdy, it's robust, it's pretty, it's fingerprintproof, it's waterproof, etc. It's beautiful and at the same time, does a great job of protecting the discs. If you've seen this set, you'll know what I mean. If all boxed sets could take a cue from this one, I'd be a happy collector.
[rant mode]
And now for the worst. Sadly, even though I'm a big X-Files fan, I have to say that I HATE the packaging for the series' on DVD. It's not fingerprintproof and the design of the packaging is so delicate that you will need surgical patience and accuracy to make sure that you don't wear out the cardboard whenever you open the package.
[/rant mode]
-
The following DVD packages are really nice:
Toy Story: The Ultimate Toolbox (similar to Brazil: Criterion)
Seven: Platinum Edition
Lawrence of Arabia (Region 1)
Worst is the Gladiator r1 (not all) and Cleopatra 5-star Edition wherein the extras disk is inserted in a paper envelope or a paper sleeve so who knows what may have happened to that disk before you bought the dvd?
-
Worst packaging is the R1 and R3 of JFK: Oliver Stone Collection. Bad enough it comes in that snapper case, they had to insert disc two in a carboard pocket on the back of the cover you have to slide the disc into. >:(
-
The best packaging to me so far is the Ultimate Edition Terminator 2. The Fight Club is nice too, but I'm yet to get one (I wonder if somebody here can help me get one :)). I have to agree the X-Files Seasons 1 and 2 packaging are the worst yet. Just getting them in and out of the box is a struggle. >:(
-
Aside from Terminator 2: The Ultimate Edition, I would like to add the collectors edition of Evil Dead II. Like T2, Evil Dead II came with a metal case however the case is more like a metal container with the disk inside it.
The container is quite big, so it looks a bit awkward alongside other DVDs in a shelf but it's still kindda cool.
-
I am fine with snapper cases and am happy with keep cases, but I don't have any title yet with exceptional case quality, except for the way they look like.
Fox-released DVDs are usually the best looking ones, but they are the least sturdy and very "fragile" and dexterously un-ergonomic. ::)
Like Phoebus, I get really pissed when I saw my X-Men case full of my own fingerprints, and just on the first time I laid my hands on it! Plus, it's made of cardboard, so if one isn't careful, the case will be destroyed after a few handlings. Same thing with the Fight Club DVD.
As with The X-Files boxed sets, I really loved the way they packaged it. But later, I realized this was a disadvantage because I had to open the fold-out casing all the way just to get the farther-off discs. So what I do is store the current disc I am watching inside the DVD player, and when I'm done with it, I open the box again to return the disc and get the next one, which I will again store in the player until I'm done with it. So that minimizes the handling of the good-looking cases. :)
-
The T2 Ultimate's metal case certainly does look nice, but what I don't like about it is that it does not snugly fit the normal Amaray case inside. In fact, since my DVDs are on a high shelf, more than once I've partly pulled the T2 Ultimate case from the shelf, only to have the Amaray case slide out from within and fall to the floor.
Agree with Komikero, the JFK Oliver Stone Collection case is one of the worst ever. Snapper na nga, slide-in pa. Crap.
Another lousy one is the Sex and the City: Season One case. It looks great, very distinctive compared to run-of-the-mill Amaray cases, and much nicer than snapper...but the plastic joints deteriorate very quickly, and the cover will soon rip away from the rest of the case. A perfect example of style overcoming durability.
Also agree with rants vs. the X-Files and X-Men cardboard cases. They attract fingerprints and feel flimsy.
In fact, I have not been 100 percent happy with any DVD packaging aside from the usual Amaray cases. None of the fancy non-standard ones have really satisfied me.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot about the X-Men case. It's such a bitch just trying to clean that one!
-
From earth to the moon
and Fushigi Yugi: - Suzaku Box
excellent packaging.
-
Yup, its quite a pain to clean up the case after viewing. They should have kept it in an Amaray case. Actually the thing that attracts fingerprints to the case is its UV coating which suppose to protect it from acid deterioration. Most snapcase region 1 discs have a UV coating while its R3 counterparts do not.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the X-Men case. It's such a bitch just trying to clean that one!
-
These are the best packaging (in terms of casing) for me. These are the DVDs na dapat ilipat mo sa spare cases if you intend to lend them out as the casings are hard to replace.
Terminator Ultimate Edition ;D
Ganda kasi yuong aluminum outer casing. You may encounter though some difficulty removing Disc 2 on the 2-disc version. >:(
Walking With Dinosaurs - Clear case but may encounter difficulty removing disks. Magaalangan ka kasi baka masira ang case o ang disk
Cher: Live In Concert
Brazil Criterion Collection :)
Fight Club
Toy Story 3-disc Box Set- kaya lang dahil sa maraming metallic areas eh kita kaagad ang fingerprints. Mas mahirap pa i-maintain kaysa sa X-men :(
Seven
X-men
The Rocky Boxed set seems nice based on what I've seen sa Internet. Gandang i-display siguro iyon kasi each disc case forms part of a picture of Rocky. :)
-
Let's not forget the Silver Superman Box Set. It is worth every penny, sa packaging pa lang, nalampsan lang sya ng T2 The Ultimate Edition, which I have yet to purchase
-
I don't know if anybody noticed CHARBIT carrying a red DVD case nung first Members' Meet at BYC. The only thing I remebered was it was RED and ROUND, parang in a tin case (biscuit can). Can somebody tell me what it is? Charbit? ;D I'm very curious!
I think it's a unique packaging, but could it be any good, that I don't know. Sa mata, maganda tingnan.
PARC
-
I'm surprised to be saying this, but the Akira: Limited Ed Tin Case is pretty ungainly. Pretty, but not practical.
The best anime cases come from Pioneer Ent. I think that Fushigi Yuugi was manufactured by them. My friend showed me El-Hazard and it... is... BEAUTIFUL.
(Waitaminute... Pioneer did the Akira discs, too. I think I just condradicted myself)

Hi PARC, that sounds like the Total Recall Special Edition packaging. It's a round reddish tin can -- red because it's supposed to look like the surface of Mars. ;)

and the worst packaging goes to...
the sex and the city season sets...for some reason, once you open the hard plastic cover, ang hirap na i-fold at isarado
also, the x-files box sets...i dunno, maybe its just me..pero once you get the thing out of its cardboard box, its difficult to put the set back in...i think its something to do with the inner cardboard flaps of the box?..
best packaging goes to "fight club", "magnolia" and "the sopranos box set"(cool when they have that red strip of cloth underneath para madali i pull out yun dvd's)
-

Exactly! Whenever I buy an X-Files boxed set, I make it a point to hold those inner flaps down with scotch tape. It's an improvement, but not much. Wish those fox executives would read our rants about their packaging.
-
I've noticed that a lot of the DVDs with the good packaging, especially those wiht 2 discs are those that have hard-to-release disc holders.
Especially those with clear cases, minsan ang takot ko at baka mabiyak ang either casing or the disc. So when I use these DVDs more often or when I borrow DVDs with such casings eh nililipat ko muna temporarily sa mga spare cases para hindi masira ang disc at casing.
-
The worst packaging:
- Akira Tin Edition... ang ganda tingnan sa labas, pero it's a pain to take the discs out! Kainis nga nung natanggal ko na yung disc 1, may kasabay pang malakas na snap! Parang ayaw patanggal eh.... kaya inilipat ko na lang sa spare cases yung mga dvd...
- JFK: Oliver Stone Collection... nasa envelope lang nakalagay sa inside back cover ng snapper case yung disc 2! tsk tsk tsk...
-
The Madonna Girlie show is also a clear plastic case. its kinda hard to remove the disc but now medyo nakuha ko na technique. I dont like this clear plastic pagnahulog sigurado basag.
-
levi, I believe that case is called the "Super Jewel box/case," although there's nothing super about it ;) ; they just added the "super" bit to distinguish it from regular jewel cases used by CDs. My R1 dvd of the Girlie show is in that infamous Warner snapper. One of these days, I hope I can replace these darn snappers! Is your copy of the same dvd R3?
You're right, you really have to be careful handling these cases. One drop and you're out of luck. Has anyone seen replacement cases of this size?
-
Benny,
Yup its R3 from astrovision
-
Hey,levi, what's a good boy like you doing with a Madonna disc? girlie show pa. ;) Just kidding! About the Super jewel box, small consolation na lang since in R2 most music dvds ay ganoon din ang packaging. :)
-
Among the recent releases, eto ang mga nagustuhan ko
Citizen Kane - in league with Fight Club, Boogie Nights Platinum series, Magnolia and Seven
Terminator:SE - ordinary snapper but the cover with the holograms is so slick and cool
-
The X-Files Season DVD's have an excellent packaging, it fits 7 disks in a relatively thin box, almost the
size of only 3 AMARAY cases.
The way the package folds and the design makes it quite cool
-
Ok, so its a little difficult to pull the X-Files DVD of its case. Thats my only complain about it. Otherwise I really like the case for compact storage.
-
Best: Basic Instinct Collector's Edition - in a replica block of ice that comes with an ice pick pen
Worst: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 2 (Region 2) - in tight cardboard sleeves that scratch up the discs as you pull them out.
-
maybe u should not look at the packaging, try to concentrate on the contents. 8)
-

That's a good point of course...but sucky packaging can affect the content itself. The JFK DVD for instance. The 2nd disc of my copy already has scratches because Warner didn't know how to package it well.
And really, packaging really counts for films that are good, but otherwise obscure. It's like the cover to a magazine. You have to attract attention so you could entice walk in customers, who don't really have any particular title in mind to buy. And good packaging could just be the clincher. Just check out the Pearl Harbor thread. Some people who really didn't particularly like the movie, is going to buy the DVD because the packaging is way cool. So as far as getting someone to buy the Pearl Harbor DVD, the packaging certainly worked.
On the other hand, people have actually avoided some really good titles because the packaging sucks. Godfather could be an example.
-

A bit lost are we? Last time I checked, this board didn't have a Philosophy forum.
::)
-
There are DVD users that are really particular about everything. Some wont mind even if it has the worst case, but others do.
-
There are only 2 peeves of mine as it concerns dvd cases:
cardboard covers---such as what warner bros. uses. I can't think of them as something that will last long. Even if you take good care of them.
Any case that you have to PRY a disc from.
-
...
Any case that you have to PRY a disc from.
Uh, I know. What were they thinking? ::)
Here's a tip, instead of bending the disc to pry
it out of its case, try bending the side of the case
that holds the disc. This way, you don't run the risk
of damaging your discs. ;)
-
I love boxed sets. They're so pretty to look at (sigh).
Sopranos, Stargate, Stanley Kubrick, Planet of the Apes, X-Files, The Prisoner, Thunderbirds, Superman, Fantasia, Toy Story, and those anime boxed sets. Especially when their spines form a special design when standing side-by-side. :'(
-
I love boxed sets. They're so pretty to look at (sigh).
Yeah, box sets are cool. I like the idea of it, having a complete series or a complete set of movies and its sequels in one whole package is really nifty. Box set packaging I so far like is the one for the Sopranos. I really like those fold out things, very much like that of the Unbreakable DVD.
-
my latest favorite dvd package would be for the sopranos..box sha na may black ribbon para easier to take out the dvd case ...
sorry sa kababawan ;D
i find the total recall tin round case annoying..it ruins the display of my dvd collection..imaghine, halos lahat rectangular, then ito bilog ...duh!
-

Actually, if you keep it in its cardboard holder, it's about the same size as the regular DVDs, and stacks nicely beside them on a shelf. But then again, it's in danger of falling, unless you squeeze it in between two other titles.
On to other interesting package designs:
I actually like the packaging of the Planet of the Apes TV Series DVDs - a single thick plastic keep case that opens up three ways, with 4 discs and liner notes. Haven't seen anything like that before.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season One (R2)'s box opens up into a cross. Very appropriate!

Moulin Rouge

Update:
Got T2:UE R1 from a friend who went to CA last December. I don't know which store they got the DVD but was disappointed to see that the supposed-to-be metal case is now a "metal-looking" stiff cardboard case.
Is this the way it is or have they changed it (due to cost-cutting)? :(
Aside from the cover, everything inside seems to be intact. :)

curiosity got me in here..personally i never give a thought about dvd cases, but after reading these threads,i said wow!!!
so pardon my ignorance, anyone care to explain to what is:
1. Amaray
2. Keep case
3. Snapper case
thanks
-
...anyone care to explain to what is:

Hi edomingo!
There's another thread here on Keep vs. Snap Case (http://www.pinoydvd.com/yabbse/index.php?board=28;action=display;threadid=466), that you may want to look at.
But briefly:
Amaray and/or Keep Cases are names used interchangeably for the full plastic case with the clear plastic sleeve covering for the title insert. Amaray happens to be the more popular manufacturer for Keep cases, thus keep cases are called Amaray. These are mostly used by Columbia / Tristar Home Video.
Snap or Snapper Cases are those that have a cardboard cover snapped to a plastic DVD holder. These are used mostly by Warners.
Hope this clarifies rather than confuse the issue further.

yeah Fight Club's packaging was good...

T2 (Ultimate Edition)'s outer steel cover package is cool?

The Evil Dead (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition) (1983)

and i can't wait to get one! :D
by the way deepdiscountdvd (http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=ABD011904) is selling this for only $29.98 (msrp$49.99) w/ free shipping :)

just received my The Evil Dead (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition) and it's cool! 8) it looked like it was made from human flesh! :o
the only thing is this rubber case stinks!..it smelled like gasoline, so i had to bring it out to the garage, and let it sit there for a few days. i think they rushed the curing process of the rubber.
so i'm voting this as Best looking and Worst smelling DVD Packaging! :)

Hmm...the best packaging may have to be a two-way tie between Evil Dead and Pearl Harbor Vista Series --- i just saw it at ign.com, and though I didn't really dig the movie, the packaging looks sweeeeet.
Worst? In a practical sense, I'd have to say the X-men and the Unbreakable Vista Series shiny foil-finish cases. Why? They're real pretty, but if I have to carefully wipe them free of smudges and fingerprints every time I hold them, then they're a real hassle in the long run.
-
I admit - I prefer buying R1 DVD's because they have better packaging, and sometimes - a mini booklet or innovative packaging. It sometimes pisses me off whenever someone gives reviews and not even mention if a leaftlet or booklet or something extra is included. Post your DVD's here na love niyo ang packaging or overall presentation (not the features ng disc but the way the whole shebang was packed).
My favorite will still be:

;D Here's my list:
T2 UE Tin Case- that's given
Fight Club - Cool!
Moulin Rouge - Bloody cool!
Se7en- Dark yet...cool
Amelie- It's green but the round window with the smiling Audrey Tautou in it is irresistible; and
Rambo Trilogy SE - Just got this one for a nice price and the Tin metal case with embossed fonts and a buffed Stallone is really spectacular!! The metal is thick and heavy unlike the T2 case. The discs are contained in a book-like clear casing. However, the exterior is not really fingetprint-proof. But it's ok. The whole thing must weigh more than a kilo!
And now the Worst:
Sixth Sense Vista series - The new packaging is really cute. But can you believe that I have to practically use plastic gloves just to get the whole dvd casing out of the box, because the damn thing is so fingerprint sensitive!!! And to add further annoyance, its five-fold (or four, whatever), so everytime you open it without gloves on, you leave your evidence all over. And the whole box is kinda oversized. It doesn't fit any of my dvd plastics!!!
-
Best of the lot: Moulin Rouge, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Harry Potter, Lawrence of Arabia

But the Memento LE probably ranks as the most frustrating. Darned near flattened the thing before I got it out of the ultra-tight sleeve.
Frustrating rin ang pag-navigate through the discs.

kayang tangalin of course ... yun nga lang pati cardboard sira ;D
HEhehee seriously, kaya naman tangalin but it's kinda hard kasi meron natural oils yung hands natin so when you wipe it kalat pa siya konti and since cardboard siya malaki pa possibility na masira yung packaging :-[

ang hirap nga talagang alagaan yung packaging ng x-men 1.5, kaya ang ginawa ko dun sa copy ko... hindi ko tinanggal totally yung shrinkwrap cover niya... tinanggal ko lang yung part wherein pwedeng ma-slide yung lalagyan ng DVDs. :)

I agree dapat ganun ka kaingat para di masira.Kaya nga once in a while ko lang pinapanood yung x-men and i see to it na pag pinanood ko yung pelikula pati special feautures pinapanood ko na para isang tanggalan na lang sa lalagyanan ng two disc

if you think grease has the worst packaging, check out the r3 release of little nicky, family man, wedding planner which are cheaply sold at P300.
wala na yatang mas malala pa dun.

you can always try making your own packaging for regular use (and just store the original flimsy/bad packaging)...
I highly recommend http://www.dvdcoverart.com for alternative/replacement covers. Most of the time they have alternative versions that are BETTER than the original.

basic instinct - comes with the icepick lookin pen :)
crappy casing of the year has got to go to T-2 Extreme Edition. you can't pull out the amaray case from the tin sleeve without tearin the plastic >:(

amelie r2 edition

from what i heard R2 are being package better than R1 or R3. This is their selling point for the R2 although i think R2 lack the video quality as compared to the R1
Worst case I saw was the B2TF R3 which was just release recently. And I heard this is not the corrected version. :(....how sad
-
I like the Battle Royale Speciald Edition Director's Cut DVD packaging.. it's like brownish hard paper and it's simple lang that's why it's great..! porma siya.. parang fight club yung dating :)
-
Look at this R3 version of BoB. I guess this packaging is Korean:

I think the DVD is "buried" inside that meat,so if you don't intend to watch the disc yet, the whole thing stays in the fridge..... just make sure you warn the maid that it's no "ordinary" meat.
;) ;D

Best Packaging: mga R2 DVD's
Worst Packaging: Back to the Future Trilogy R3 and Hulk R3 :'(

just got Saturday night fever r1 (canadian) and Grease R1 (canadian). they're a good match. the SNF R1 has better packaging than the US R1. the latter was just an ordinary amaray disk case. the Canadian R1 is a digipack with prism effect background.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season 1! Dang sobra ganda ng box and discs! And very colorful lahat! And a lot of the pictures are embossed! Tapos may mga nice quotes pa! You can really tell that it was lovingly created. :) Best DVD of 2005! :) :) :)
-
Among the Latest DVD's I bought, the Best would be ICe Age 2 Extreme Cool Edition and Worst would be Incredible Hulk 2 disk edition ( I had the DVD case with an Amaray Double disc)
-
Best: I-Robot ultimate edition (japan) actual robot head case ASTIG!!!
Worst: For me, not all comes in amaray, tin, slipcase or what not its about the creativity of the marketing dept. for thier covers/cases and also a factor is the budget. Ang ayoko lang pag wala man lang fold out, booklet or collectible print yung dvd. Kaya nga bumibili ng orig to get the most out of it.
