The keep case art is the same except forthe banner.

The slip cover says 2-DISC DIGITAL COPY SPECIAL EDITION in black lettering on a gray background
The Keep case says 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION in black lettering on a yellow background.

It looks like they will reuse the UPC for a non digital copy edition.

I had this with another title the other evening; the same UPC but the version in the DB has a "Digital Copy" on the top of the cover.  No digital copy on the front cover of my copy, or on the disc though.  What was the title....can't recall right now; it was in a giant box from the DDD sale.

Edit: Rocknrolla was the title.

I didn't see you mention you bought it from Columbia House, but if as Skip says you did Columbia House rarely (don't want to say never because i'm sure someone will provide proof otherwise) ships dvds with the Slip Cover. Only time I got one with a slip cover from Columbia House was Young Guns where the slip cover was under the plastic shrink wrap.

So if you know a title has a slip cover, and you want the slip cover, don't buy it from columbia house. I bought my copy of Live Free or Die Hard from Columbia House (don't have a slip cover) but due to the price I paid I decided I was OK with no slip cover

-Agrare

Back in the 70s I used to get LP records from Columbia House (then Columbia Record Club).  These were apparently special pressings for Columbia House, because they seldom had the inserts that you'd get from a brick-and-mortar store.  I didn't care for this, because they used their own sleeves for the disc and didn't include things like lyrics, liner notes, etc., that you'd get on the "commercial" album.

It wouldn't surprise me if Columbia House were doing the same thing with DVDs that they used to do with LPs -- namely skimp on any "extras" like slip covers, digital copies, etc.

It was like that with cassettes for me in the 80's. Ones in the store would have like 10 foldouts with lyrics and pictures, CH would have no foldouts and plain white back. Sometimes I think the cover art was shrunk down too.

For the strange 2nd disc, I would suggest checking the disc ID of your second disc against the current ones as if you don't have the DC copy and others do, the disc ID's should be different. Just try adding the disc by ID, and it will either let you or tell you it's already assigned. Or if you had an insert with a code for the DC, thne it's probably the same just no slipcover.
