I have an odd question for everyone.  The Watchmen 2-disc dvd initial cover art has digital copy on the front cover, but no mention of it on the back cover.  I put the disc into my dvd drive, and there's no D.C. on the disc.  Also, from the initial cover art, it appears to come with a slip cover.  I haven't been out in the stores to look, but the 2 people I know of that have the 2-disc, their copy didn't have the slip cover.  A user contributed the non-slip cover art, and most of the votes so far are no.  I voted yes because mine doesn't have the slip cover either.  Coincidence?  My question is, should the slip cover art already contributed be overruled with the non-slip cover art?  Did Warner change their mind and not include the D.C.?  I vote yes.  I'll still keep it local if you think no.  Just want some opinions.

This was supposed to be three discs (movie, special features, digital copy). Mine should arrive from WB Shop soon. Maybe that will help answers whether this is all copies.

I don't know if this helps, but here is something about the slipcover from the dvdtalk review.

Lastly, I don't often mention lenticular covers, since I find them tacky, but the slipcover for this release makes great use of the gimmick. The four glass shards pop out at you and give a sense of depth with Rorschach behind them, and Dr. Manhattan in the background.

Plus they also mention that the 2 disc dvd set has the Digital Copy as well.

I would say it seems highly likely that the copy you have purchased from Columbia House is NOT the Same UpC# as the slip covered version.  And for Cubby, I think there is another version YET, I think there is a Steelbook exclusive to at least Future Shop, but I think that would include Best Buy.

I have only seen this happen one other time, husker and that was Rob Zombie's Halloween which simultaneously released the Slip and non-slip version of the fim, otherwise identical, they did use a separate UPC. Since it is highly unlikely that you received your copy early enough, then I would say the slip that has been submitted and was expected would override any later scan that is not the slip...in short in a case such as you describe, first one in wins the prize, assuming they are the same UPC and the difference is the slip.

That would be my expectation Charlie

I got my 2 Disc Director's cut from Amazon and the the Digital copy is on Disc 2 The Special Features Disc.

As far as I know there are 4 versions available.

1 Disc Full Screen DVD
1 Disc Widescreen DVD
2 Disc Directors Cut DVD
3 Disc Directors Cut Blu-Ray

This is what DVDEmpire is showing for the 2 disc DVD



The 1 disc Widescreen dvd




Does either one match what you bought?

Mine has the same UPC as the first front/back set of pics, but without the 2-disc digital copy banner across the top, no slip cover.  Mine, across the top, says: 2-disc special edition.  If that's the case, I didn't want that idiotic digital copy anyway!

Husker:

If it is as you describe and the slip case is already there, which it is and yours does not have a slip case. then what rational argument can you posit for why your copy...days later...should take precedence over what we all know is also the ORIGINAL release for the UPC#. I don't think you can creat a logical argument for yours should supplant that which is already there, other than YOU want it....and, my friend that just isn't good enough. These things do happen from time to time, not often but sometimes, I am willing to bet you that if you bought yours from Columbia house, that a lot more copies were sold through retailers and e=tailers than through Columbia House. I am not telling you that you should accept the Online cover or data if it does not match what you own...you should not but, and if the tables werte reversed and you had received your fast enough to get it in before anyone else and your notes adequately explained things then i would say the same thing to people like myself who will have the store version.

Just had a thought here:  Is the non-slip cover cover what you see when you remove the slip cover (Keep case cover art)?
