We got in There Will Be Blood at work, and let me tell you the packaging leaves a lot to be desired.
The regular version comes in a very thin cardboard fold out case, like a lot of cds have been coming in lately. When it is closed, the end opposite of the spine makes a sort of triangle shape, which will make it hard to fit on a shelf.
The 2 disc version is a lot better, its still in a thin cardboard box, even thinner than a regular single disc plastic case, but the 2 discs fill it out better so that it doesn't get the weird triangle effect.

It should come with a coupon for Cold Stone Creamery. At $5 a pop, I could use a free milkshake.

I wish the 2-disc was in a case like the 2-disc The Deer Hunter, the damn thing's like a hardcover book.

As long as I get to see the awesomeness of Daniel Plainview time and time again, I do not care.

Anyway, I got to the disk fine, which is all I cared about.

Everyone is going green.  I have a DVD thats case is made totally out of recycled paper and starch. The only plastic is the disc itself. Stupid environment.... |

I have no problem with companies going green, but for the price we pay for these things, some semi-durable packaging might be nice. Case in point: when I bought WWE vol. 8 at Wallyworld, I paid 13.88 for it. For 14 bucks, I'd like a jewel case, please...not a cardboard sleeve that looks like I got the CD from some struggling unsigned band. Hell, I've actually gotten CDs from struggling unsigned bands...IN JEWEL CASES. |

We got them too, and we got a regular looking DVD case.

Bought the 2disc last night, and man is this thing flimsy. It feels like its made of recycled newspaper.

I don't mind the fact that it's a cardboard case, as I think that's kind of a cool. However, I don't like the fact that the damn thing doesn't stay flat, it's always half-way unfolded.
I may end up taking a blank DVD case and just putting the disc in there. Perhaps I'll scan the covers from this version and stick it in there.

I went to buy it today and passed for that very reason.
What a cheap move.
