Sounds to me like you are just jealous for not getting that version in the states. Makes no sense to scan a collectable item with that garbage on. It's just like scanning a normal slip cover with cellophane and stickers on. Horrible.  Sounds to me like you just want to argue with anybody that disagrees with you. As to what it sounds like to you, you are completely wrong. I gave my opinion first, then went and tried to find that version so I could buy it. When I discovered that it was UK only, I added the second section, so my answer had noting to do with bein jealous.

I'm not interested in "nicer pictures", as I like to see an accurate representation of the package after it has been unwrapped (let's keep shrinkwraps out of this discussion, please  ). I like to see the accurate representation of the package after it has been unwrapped, too. For me it is unwrapped and accurate when all the plastic and cardboard is removed and I'm sitting with the actual book in my hands. To match that exactly, I have to scan it without all the wrapping. And it doesn't bother me if the pictures are nicer. Well, maybe we are both right, because I can't find a rule that covers this case. | | | | Last edited: by No-way |

This part of the rules have the terminology all mixed up. Unless they really mean Slip Case, which I doubt since it makes no sense to scan the outer slipcase if the DVD is individually packaged and profiled.
 You are right. I have always read that as Slip Cover. So maybe many previos contributions are wrong then.  |

For me, the rules are quite clear, the digibook gets scanned without the garbage. But strangely you seem to be the only one (from the participants of this thread) for whom the rules say this. Is there the slightest chance that you may be incorrect with your interpretation? Or is this the classical case of "All are wrong but me"? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

That's wierd...all the posts from Trollhunter have disappeared Sorry about that confusion. I changed my alias to Trollhunter, but I thought everyone else still could see my previous name. I have never seen on any forum before that it is possible to change the displayed name completely. As soon as I realized, I changed it back. |

For me, the rules are quite clear, the whole thing gets scanned. I agree. I have profiled several of these types. And whether slipcover is checked or not the whole thing could be scanned. In fact once I thought not and received a bunch of NO votes with very valid reasons. |

So what this basically runs down to is: A Slip-Cover isn't a Slip-Cover anymore if it covers the inner cover only partially? Sorry, but this interpretation is absurd. Changing the shape doesn't change the thing as such. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | OK,
sorry it seems I misinterpreted your point.
So please enlighten me, what was it you actually meant? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | Sorry, I'm to tired to repeat everything now. If you read the thread from the beginning, maybe you will understand.
But I want to add a question to everyone, that I have been wondering on lately. (And please forget about the rules now for a second.)
The argument some people have been using for scanning "normal" slip covers on keep cases are that the slip covers are collectibles and should therefore be scanned instead of the inner cover. Many are also saying that stickers and plastic and rating-overlays etc. (everything on the outside) should be removed, if possible, because they are ugly. Even if just a few % of the owners of a profile are lucky enough to get the slip cover. Even if 100% of the same users have the same inner keep cases. Even if DVD Profiler should be a program for everyone. They insist in using the beauty of the outer slip case instead of the inner keep case even if it will only be an exact match for just a few % of the owners. (And sometimes an exact match for no-one, because the stickers have been removed.)
What I mean is: If that is ok, why do you people think it's not ok for people who collects Digibooks to have something similar? To be allowed to have a scan (in the online) of the beauty of the Digibook with everything else removed. With Digibooks it is the digibook itself that is collectible. And the outer front 1/4, that everyone here think is so important, is basically a piece of cardboard with the same picture of what would have been a sticker on other releases and a picture of the raring logo, and that would have been removed (if possible) in a second on other releases.
So I will repeat my question. Honestly why is it not ok for Digibook collectors to display their beauties in Profiler, but it is ok for slip case collectors ? Is that really to much to ask ? | | | | Last edited: by No-way |
