Is Indy a DigiBook?

[NO PICTURE AVAILABLE YET]

Back in October 2008, Paramount released what many thought what be the start of a DigiBook line for Paramount with the Target exclusive “Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” DigiBook release. Looking to save some bucks, Target/Paramount simply used the DVD DigiBook case and popped the Blu-rays in. That means the case is taller and wider than the other DigiBook titles and does not fit well on the shelf next to others. Its also housed inside of a Slip Cover.

European DigiBooks

Optimum Home Entertainment is releasing their own line of DigiBooks in Europe in September, 2009. It’s unknown if these will be the identical dimensions as the current Warner/Sony Digibooks but they look pretty darn close. Likely Region B Locked
