Thanks I’ve returned it and asked the money to be paid to my Amazon balance, once it’s in, I’ll order again and hopefully get a slipcover one. If not, that will go back for a refund and I’ll get it elsewhere.

What threw me is that it was sealed, discs that are in slipcovers are usually unsealed and the seal is on the slipcover.

My copy of Jaws from Zoom came without a slip cover, some films don't have slip covers.

FWIW...both of your copies came out of the same warehouse, probably from the same bulk storage location. I forgot to update you the other day @robfosters but looking at inventory of this at work, the only exclusives were for Zavvi and HMV, no amazon exclusive stock on this release. Doesn't look like any stock has orings for the non exclusive stock.

By slipcase, are we only about the piece of cardboard that any normal person lobs immediately in the recycling?

It just gets in the way. Get that **** off my case!!

Lets hope the next graphics cards come with HDMI 2.1, so you can game at 4k 120Hz! I may have to upgrade my C8 to C9 (or later) if that happens!

Sorry I didn’t reply earlier. Replacement came with no slipcover either, so I get I’ll just have to accept I won’t get a slip with this one.

No worries. You could try and get the HMV exclusive or a Zavvi steelbook, they've got orings. Quite a markup on the prices though.

I was thinking of grabbing a C9 recently, what are the limitations compared to the new models, are the C9's g-sync compatible?

I am super, super jealous. We were bickering in the shop before lock-down over 55 and 65. Naturally I lost. Even despite me using man maths suggesting that a correct size for the living room would be 75" and I was compromising

Yep, even has it on the box, lower right. Was hoping to get one from John Lewis but they've stopped selling it

Very nice mate, I have the 65CX coming in the next week or so

Let me know how you get on. I did consider the 65C9 but stock seemed limited, and it wasn't saving me that much cash compared to buying the CX.

C9 is very highly rated anyway and trades blows pretty well with the CX.

RTX and 16-series cards only.
