i have bought a few shout factory blu rays from Amazon lately that should have had slip covers but not on mine when orders came in.  Recently i bought the kurt russell classics escape from ny and la.  the la one came with a slip but not ny.

I recently found out that SF reduced their slipcover guarantee from 3 months down to 1 month and they'll only guarantee a slip if you order direct from them. This changed as of March 2025 which is very disappointing coming from this label.

that is disappointing.  I had decided to upgrade some dvds i like to blu ray or possibly 4k (titles i really love) and have liked previous shout factory stuff i have purchased.  it just bugs me when the amazon picture still shows a slip cover and then it shows up without it.  i read somewhere last night slip covers only come with first runs also instead of all runs of a movie.

Couldn't care less... I threw them in the recuperation bin. Waste of time and waste of money.

I get upset when I have pre-ordered a disc and it doesn't come with a slipcover.
On my favorite movies, I order from the US Amazon site so I do not get the Bilingual slipcover.
It doesn't look like the new Superman 2025 movie will get a slipcover.
They actually take a bit more shelf space than without.

I prefer them, so I chose "yes" in the vote, but if they don't come with them, I'm okay with not getting one. Though, when I first started collecting, I'd be more upset about not getting one, or it coming in damaged. I will still chose the disc with one, than the one without one if given a choice.
