Slip Covers

[andrew]

Some games are released both with and without slip covers. For example, I ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution from amazon and it came with a slip cover, but I just seen it sitting on a store shelf being sold without the cover. For some older games it might be hard to know if a game was released both with and without a slip cover. How should we handle this? Separate entries? A check box under the barcode in the game description indicating that there is a slip cover, but maybe not for each release? Something else?

How many copies were there? I know I went to Best Buy the other day and they were selling Fallout: New Vegas and it had a slip cover on it. But it was loose on the shelf w/o the little anti-theft case on it too. Maybe someone ganked it?

I say separate entries, but only if they were sold like that at retail (if say the first run had a slipcover, later runs didn't, etc.) They're basically alternate covers, after all.

@foxhack is right, treat it like any other variation. If someone later on comes in and mentions that "x game never had a non-slipcover release and here's y evidence" then we'll merge the entries. Or something, ha.
