According to the Case type thread, it's a digipack if I'm not completely mistaken.

BTW, most digipacks do have an outer sleeve cover, it just wouldnt do to have it flop open all the time....

I completely agree.  Alien Quadrilogy is a single digipak, therefore case type should be digipak.  A box set needs to be more than one (keepcase or digipak) inside an outer box.  otherwise, why not just call a 6-disc keepcase a box set as well?

In order for for the case type for digipaks to be a "boxset", IMO, it needs to be something like Criterion's Eric Rohmer set where there are six single digipaks inside an outer box.

For those saying that anything in a slipcase = boxset, aren't 99.9% of all digipak cases come in a slipcase?  even the single film ones, that only have two discs?  under that logic these would also be boxsets.  we might as well get rid of "digipak" as a case type then.  One digipak (regardless of the length) should not be a "box set" case type.  what about dvds like "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" that is a keepcase inside a slipcase like digipaks usually have.....is that a box set too because it has a slipcase? 

I don't think it is the presence of a slipcase that makes the packaging a "box set".....it's the fact that there are more than one cases (digipak or keepcase) inside that slipcase.

Its really, really, simple.  The method of securing the discs is irrelevant, whether its keepcase, snapper, or digipack.  Boxset refers to the content, not the case type.

Then it should not be listed under case type, should it?

That is correct.  Box Set should NOT BE LISTED UNDER CASE TYPE.

How many times do we have to say it?  A box set has absolutely NOTHING to do with the container!  ANY TYPE OF CONTAINER that holds multiple discs can be a box set.

Dan W designed the case type thread in conjunction with Ken and Jesse, and a little help from me, and it was made a part of the RULES. So if Dan says Alienb Quad is a Digipack which it is, then 'nuff said debate over.

Skip

Except he isn't. He's saying it's a box set! 

Well, you're both wrong. Then again, you're both right. . . . . . partially.

As the pictures in the case type thread clearly show, the Alien Quadrilogy "set" should be assigned as a "Box Set" case type. The movies in the set should be assigned as "Digipak".

For those who are having difficulty with this, the "Box Set" examples pictured in the thread are perfect examples of the case types. The fact that a different image is on a different set changes nothing. I could add several hundred images of those "Box Set" case type boxes and it wouldn't matter. The point is, the case type is pictured. What is contained in it, whether it is keep cases, digipaks, slimpaks, drawers, jewels, etc. does not matter. It could contain (and I have seen them like this) a combination of different case types within the set. The contents do not govern the set cover type.

*  Sets where each film is packaged individually, and held together in a package of some kind.
    * Sets where each film is on a separate disc, but not individually packaged. This includes gatefold Digipaks and 2-Disc sets in normal DVD cases.
    * Sets containing 2 films, one on each side of Dual-Sided DVD.


did someone just slip that second line of the second asterisk in there. i swear i've never see it before because if me or one of the other one between the audio organs had see this, the rest of us in here would not have uttered a word of discord.
