Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Store that gives out DVD pre-order cases or boxes?

Post by Flak Beard »

My wife really wants Pineapple Express on Blu-Ray for Christmas, but unfortunately it doesn't come out until January 6th. I plan on pre-ordering it for her, but is there a store that gives out display cases or something when you do? I just want something to physically wrap.

I've never heard of one, but if you talk to the eomployees at the store, they may be willing to give you one on the sly, or maybe let you borrow it long enough to make a color copy of the case insert at kinkos...
Comics, RPG's, miniatures, and now retrogaming? I guess its time to learn to go without eating...

i would try to find something online and just put the insert in a blu case you already had temporarily so you can give the gift. maybe you could put the pre-order receipt inside the case. after it is opened i would just put the original art and disk back in the case as soon as possible

I would suggest going to a chain store and just asking. You might get laughed at a couple times but if you explain what your doing, and are nice about it, usually sales folk are easily persuaded about things like this.

It cost them nothing and it goes into the trash fairly soon, I would let one fly if I was at the store.
