I just got Death Proof from Amazon.com today, and I noticed that mine didn't come with a slip cover.  The existing online profile says that one exists, but the cover scans don't show a slip cover.

So what's the deal, did I get hosed, or what?

I'm not a hundred percent, b/c I haven't seen Death Proof without a slip cover yet, but that happens a lot to dvds.  They start out with a slip cover and after a while, they are not made with them anymore.  Not sure why, or the reasoning.  It just might be cheaper to make without one.  *shrugs* But it's not unusual for that to happen after the first printing of them.

This happens a fai bit, Disney are particular villains in this regard. Most of their stuff is issued with slipcovers these days, but they tend to disappear in fairly short order, often a matter of weeks like with your Death Proof example.

Don't the rules say to use the slipcover?

A bit off topic, but for those of you that know, or own it... where did Dead Silence come with a Slip Cover at?

I often prefer the keep case scans more than slip covers, it can be of better quality visually 

But I don't vote against the rules - I just 'keep it local'

Example;

Current database cover...


My local cover scan, which I can't contribute with current rules...

Which version? I purchased Dead Silence: Unrated at Target on release day without a slipcover. Didn't see any that had one.

I don't think I've ever seen a slipcover on Dead Silence either.
The vote probably got mixed in with all the slip cover contributions a couple months ago, that was madness which is why I voted neutral on almost all of them. I remember catching a few that someone clicked the slipcover but I knew never had one, or reissues had one. It was just click slipcover on everything.

Almost all flicks come with slipcovers nowadays though, then after a couple weeks (for popular) or months (not so popular) the slips disappear. I'm sure just the first runs have them. Dead Silence never did and should be corrected (I'm not using the beta, so I can't do it).

As for Death Proof, I didn't get a slipcover because I bought the Steelbook from Best Buy. I haven't seen one without a slipcover yet but know I will soon.
