The Digipack | yay or nay poll

[Malaclypse]

So what do you think about digipacks? personally i hate them. i mean, they look nice and special for a while, but tend to wear off in short time, and mostly they don't fit in any standard cd tower. and i can't stand flipping hundreds of paper pages until i finally get hold on the cd. and if you put a beer glass upon it, they're forever stained.
what's your opinion?

What's a digi-pack?

you almost convinced me with the beer stain remark, but then again... i don't think i care enough about that, either.

well a digipack is a cd casing made of paper, unlike the standard jewel case and often comes along with extra artwork.

 

[Siren]

I think it could be cool then, dunno about the "wear after a while, get stained" thing :/

Where did you say you lived again? From now on I will accept only diamond cases.

Seriously, though, I like digipacks for the "feeling", but I'm so sad my Haven looks so mistreated nowadays.

So, I'll vote "no".

What exactly is a jewel case?

Tell me about it I had a little accident with water...and you can guess what the cover looks like now..

I voted for "no" also.

The most important reason I like digipacks is that they usually contain bonus songs They also look very good, but you're right, you have to be very careful if you don't want to end up with serious changes in the cd.

i like digipacks 'cause most of the times it looks better and has bonus tracks but it depends on the album.
i hate when bands release an album on too many different formats... i don't have money to buy them all

I like digipacks! I think they spice it up a bit!

I think, not sure though, that a jewel case is a normal cd case, made of plastic you know!

That's correct.

Humm, a poll (un pollo). The digi-pack editions use to wear off depending on where you're wanting to fit them, notice that the shape of the digi-pack wasn't made to fit into your asshole.

Digipacks look usually good but indeed need to be treated well
And some digipacks don't fit in my cd case... But if there's a choice between digipack and jewel case, I choose digipack (especially when there's bonuses...)

That beer thing is no joke.
A few month ago my mom thought that she had to clean my room...while doing that she dropped a half-empty can of beer over my Katatonia LFDGD digipak. The CD and everything around it was soaked with beer...I was really pissed I can tell you.

Lesson #2: Never ever ever let kids enter your room and go near your CDs, vinyls, digi-packs, cd player, stereo, etc

Yes, all in all I think I'd most likely burst into tears in front of a Skydancer digipack, but it was a hard decision: mainly because when the microscopical hooks which must keep the disc in place break, there's no hope to replace the whole piece, while it can be easily done with a jewel-case. That's the only yet-unsolved problem with digipacks, imo, and not for so long, I hope, especially if, as it seems, digipacks are slowly becoming the next-years standard.

Edit: adding a verb every now and then could help the posts not to fall upon themselves

i looove digipacks..at least the ones who DO fit in my cd-tower (like my beloved Diary of dreams CDs)......the rest piss me off!!
btw,the best digipacks i've ever seen is the digipacks of the first 2 Solefald Cds....they are somehow hmm covered with plastics in the edges... well..can't describe it exactly,not even in greek..so if you are wondering just buy the Cds and see yourselved
