Same here. If stored properly, these snappers should look the same as when
you bought them. Other than standing out on a shelf full of other dvds, WB
probably figured that since the print quality (package printing quality) is
better than with the keeper paper insert covers, that maybe a
browser/purchaser will notice the WB discs as more distinct from the other
studio product. WB also generally has a revolving or upright browser that
displays their dvd's prominantly. Still, WB produced one of the very worst
transfers in dvd history, the original One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
However, many of the other early WB transfers are quite good.
