That's what I imagine, Stephen - but we'll find out for sure shortly.

Not really. Just rather have a blu-ray in a blu-ray case. Nothng odd about that.

Looking at the artwork, I'd say this is a DVD with a Blu Ray edition added, not the other way round like typical Dual Format releases, so puting it in a DVD case sounds reasonable to me

As silly as it sounds, a DVD sized case will put some people off. I'm not a huge fan of Dual Formats in DVD sized cases myself, but it won't necessarily stop me buying the release.

I know the Network release of The Man Who Haunted Himself (Dual Format in a DVD height case) got a lot of negative comments on a few Blu-ray related forums, it also found itself only being displayed in the DVD section of HMV, which you have to take into account. Will you still recoup costs for producing a Blu-ray if a portion of the typical Blu-ray buyers who don't browse DVD sections, don't know it's there? Perhaps it won't matter so much to Shameless, who often have an aisle end devoted to them in my local HMV. Certainly Network seem to have changed their packaging for future DF releases, whether that's due to high street presence or feedback only Network will know.

I kind of feel Shameless are a little damned either way. Those custom Blu-ray cases can't be cheap. It's nice they've pushed for a Blu-ray release, but they will get some flak if they stick it in a DVD sized case.

That's a fair point, I'd not thought of it like that, but seeing as I buy most of my stuff online due to the ridiculous prices of HMV, it wouldn't affect me.

And companies like Shameless/Arrow/Second Sight etc could stick a £50 note inside their releases and somebody would still find reason to complain, that's just the way it is these days

Hi guys,

The reason Shameless have gone for the DVD case rather than the smaller Blu-ray case is to make the most of the fantastic collector's limited edition lenticular card. It wouldn't be quite as impressive on a smaller case like a blu-ray. The bigger the better! When we reveal it next Friday lunchtim, you will love it!

This is an incredible release, with a very nice UK exclusive extra too. The first time the film has been released in this country! With an AMAZING artwork - designed by our very own Cult Labs member, SJ - support this UK release rather than the US one!

Default cancelled

As a good supportive chap I pre-ordered this with Amazon when it was listed a short while back. Now I seem to have had my order cancelled by Amazon since the didn't want me benefiting from getting a blu ray added at a later date at the original pre-order price. Not sure entirely fare if the barcode didn't change (no idea) but guess I need to pre-order again. Never happened before, but I assume it was Amazon's profit I'd have been hitting, not Shameless' - anyway, ordered again until Shameless can sell to me directly : )
