I did some scans of this large case and was going to submit them, but wasn't sure which way to rotate the images. As you can see below I've done thm both tall and wide. Any suggestions?

First.. I hate you for having this while mine is still on pre-order. 

Second.. I'd go with the "Tall" version and match the 500x700 standard for the other covers.

And I'd go with the "wide" to match the Man from U.N.C.L.E. case scan...

If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Trust me, I was lucky to get my hands on this one. I went to Best Buy here in Los Angeles, and was about to give up, and came across what was probably the last copy in the store. I was thinking about giving one of either the BD or HD-DVD to a friend for Christmas and couldn't located one for 50 miles. Ended up ordering it off Amazon with next day shipping. I ended up still getting it at a good price for a gift. I am leaning towards Tall myself. I've got them saved, just want to get a few more opinions.

I think when mine comes in I will attack it with my Nikon. I think the pre-release fronts are the best answer for this oddball. Definitely scan the back though. I would have preferred an image like Blade Runner for The Man From UNCLE suitcase but Time-Life didn't provide a good shot like Warner did with Blade Runner.

I'm keeping the 3D view of the case for my personal collection.  The HD DVD version (085391-185710) had the regular 5-disc ultimate collector's edition (085391-185734) inside it.  So it's in my collection as a box set.  Personally, I think it makes little sense to scan these irregular non-typical cases for cover images.  Photos reflect the nature of these cases much better IMO.

Was the HD set a combo or straight HD?

I also think tall will be better, as we actually get larger images. (IMHO they should actually be "viewable fro the right" though...)

Straight HD.  5 discs of pure HD heaven.  HDD has a pretty good review of the entire set.

Well, 3 discs of HD heaven.  The bonus features on disc 2 and disc 4 are on standard DVDs.  But they're crammed to the gills with content (the disc 2 documentary runs over 3 and one-half hours, for instance).  All five cuts of the movie are in HD though.

I prefer 3D images for custom cases like this.

I just got mine, the case is still cold from being in the UPS truck. This is for the plain old DVD version 085391-144847 which is the same UPC on the Digipak on the inside of this case. On the bottom is a sticker designating Limited Edition 033700 / 103000. The case has a clear sleeve with the art work, the black square on the front and everything on the back.  Here is a scan I just made of the back.



Not sure if it's good enough for contribution purposes, my scans are usually not nearly as good as what many of you can produce.

I agree with others that the existing front scan in 3-d will be the image I keep there.

I haven't seen the actual case yet (still on the way) but the image you posted looks good to me.
