I've recently bought L4yer cake and noticed my cover is different from the one in the online database. Mine looks like this:


Whereas the one in the online DB looks like this:
Layer Cake


All Regions

Released: 19/03/2007

Widescreen 2.40:1





Any idea if there was some sort of re-release or another reason for the different cover? The UPC is the same and the discs seem identical too.

I am willing to bet that you have a re-released without doing any research, though I will. Why do I say that he asks? I see two very important clues that provide the answer.

!)"I've recently bought L4yer cake"
2)Released: 19/03/2007...That is about 30 months ago,

I see two likelihoods hers. Just a flat out re-release. OR a price reduction sans Slip Cover.

You also state:
"The UPC is the same and the discs seem identical too."

Yes...and, the point is. This has gonein DVDs since nearly the nginning of the format; shouldBD be treated differently for some reason.

Yeeeeeha, that was fun. It seems the UK has to be the lone oddball on the entire planet. Of ALL the Blu-Rays available world wide, none them show either of the covers that are mentioned for the UK. Instead, every place shows the SAME cover with some minor variations due to locality. Both of the covers for the UK are unique in the world.

Here's the cover available everywhere else

Thanks for your feedback, Skip.

I will of course not submit my cover scan as the one already in the online DB is correct, but I was just wondering why there was a difference.

Seems like the UK is the oddball indeed, this time around.

LOL, Taro, I have to admit after i searched all the titles out, this one really tickled my funny bone. I just checked again to see if I could glean anything from the back cover, and non-productive. I would guess that there was not a slip cover involved but was a straight up re-release. I t happens....all too often.
