Yeah but those aren't the authentic ones.  If you can wait a bit you can get them shipped from sleevetown.com and there a couple bucks cheaper even after shipping and handling.

Never knew that... I just saw them in Best Buy and bought them since I wanted a nice case for this. What do you mean by "aren't authentic"? They have the Blu-Ray disc logo on top...

Here's a quote from Amazon:

"..........  the industry standard Viva Elite (Warner, 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate) or Vortex (Sony, Disney) cases that are the norm. "

Best Buy sells the Dynex brand which isn't sold on any of the specialty sites I've seen.  It's probably one of the knockoffs they talk about.

Sleevetown.com sells the Vortex type mentioned above.  Discmakers.com sells Viva Elite and the people on the Blu-ray.com site swear by the diskmakers.com site.  Sleevetown.com is a very popular site too from what I've gathered.

Edit:  On the other hand I've never seen the Dynex kind so I can't really compare them to the "real thing".  The reviews are pretty favorable on Bestbuy.com .........

Do they sell the blu-ray cases in stores?

Yep! You can get them at Best Buy... a 10-pack for about 12.99.

"And then when I saw some other scenes that DJ sent me to use in my Despecialized Edition HD, there seriously were times when I was thinking: Why do I even bother, this already looks like HD."

...Now THAT is exciting! Especially considering how good V3 already is in relation to other GOUT upscales

 

You should check out the clip d_j posted a few pages back to see how good the Blu-ray looks compared to v3. It truly is night and day!!!

 what page would that be?  this thread is long.  or do you have the link?

I'm pretty sure this is what BMadden is going on about:
