I think some TV sets are Slip cases, and some are not.  If like the Wings sets, it's three thinpaks housed in a slip case, then it is a Slip Case.  If it's like Babylon 5 where the season is in one whopping digipak in a slp case, it's still a Digipak.

If there's a single case inside a slip case, then use the interior case type.  If there is more than one case inside a slip case, then use "Slip Case."  Seems pretty simple to me--no need to differentiate TV from everything else.

So... if 'box-set' has been renamed 'slip-case' in the next upgrade... what happens to the case types that actually are boxes not slip-cases??

Good question. Have you tried asking Ken?

Multiple digipaks hold multiple discs.  Multiple discs makes it a box set.

Don't be absurd.  A digipak that holds 6 discs is still a single case.  If there were six separate digipaks in a slip case, then you'd be right.  But I've never seen that.  Box set is no longer an option for case type.

Yes, you have.  A digipak is a single disc retainer.  Six of them glued to a cardboard backing that folds up is six digipak retainer.  "Digipak" can be used for both singular and plural.

So a digipak is not the single tray.

I honestly don't see why you keep saying this...Ken didn't change any TV set profiles to 'Slip Case' case type.  As a matter of fact, he didn't change a single profile.  He changed 'Box Set' to 'Slip Case' in the program.  Because it was a program change, it automatically updated every profile that had 'box set' as a case type.  Claiming that as some sort of endorsement is just illogical. 

As to the rest, the rules say what they say.  TV sets can be treated like box sets.  So I guess you can use slip case as the case type.  You may find, however, that those people who don't want to treat them as box sets, will argue with you and will want the inner case as the case type.

First let me apologize for not monitoring this more closely.  I had my nose too close to the coding grindstone and I didn't expect the furor over case type so fast.

I use this forum to gauge user responses to changes and intents before making changes to the rules, so don't interpret anything as a rule here until it's in the rule pages.  Feel free to dispute, argue, post alternatives, etc.

That said, here is another attempt to clarify the slip case usage, as I see it.  The 'Slip Case' case type is to be used for box sets only, and only for box sets which contain more than one physical case within.  Profiles for the child cases should use the case type of the individual contents.

Examples:
- Slip cover over keep case: Keep Case
- Slip cover over multi-disc digipak: Digipak
- Slip cover over multiple individual keep cases: Slip Case for parent, Keep Case for children

The intent of this direction is to require the least changes to existing types, and to accurately reflect the case that holds the discs.
