What’s The Point?
What’s the point of DVD / Blu-ray cardboard sleeves? The same information and pictures are printed on both the sleeve and the movie itself. In this environmentally conscious society we find ourselves in nowadays, why are the movie companies wasting paper with these worthless sleeves?
Isn’t it a bit hypocritical when studios force those lame “environmentally friendly” blu-ray cases on us, yet they insist on killing trees and using harsh bleaching chemicals to produce these useless sleeves?
Go on, spot the difference. I dare ya.
Oh, BTW, Benjamin Button was on sale at Fry’s today for $14.00. Peeling back the layers of stickers revealed the original price of $29.95, which proves that one should never by blu-ray movies on their release date. 
What’s the point you ask? Well, you got me on this one because I have no idea what the point is for those sleeves. A few of my DVDs have sleeves and usually it seemed like a nice addition to the packaging design but then that wore off, as it became annoying to have to remove the sleeve each time I wanted to just open the case, take the DVD out and then watch the movie.
The price difference is something to consider for blue-ray so it’s great that you pointed that out.
