Question about packaging on DTP albums

Ok so I plan on getting a few more copies of KI and Addicted now that Ghost and Decon are being released and giving them to friends of mine and since Ghost and Decon will have slipcases for sure was just wondering which versions of KI and Addicted to buy now. The ones i have from last year have slipcases. I see a lot of sites that show the actual booklet art and not slipcase art. Does that mean they dont have the slipcases? I'm a stickler for consistency so i need all 4 to have slipcases. Is it only the HDR releases that don't have slipcases?
were there some inside out releases without a slipcase?
help will be appreciated.
Cheers
Mikhail

I asked this question a few weeks ago. The general consensus is that it depends on where you go. The direct releases from HDR do not have slipcases.

So all non HDR releases (inside out releases) have the slipcase?

That's just the thing. Nobody really knows. If they are pictured with the slipcase, I'd say it's safe to assume it comes with it.

Just wanted to say that I got both Ki and Addicted off Amazon (from Amazon, not new from any of the other retailers listed) and both came with their respective slipcases... that was almost a year ago, but hopefully that helps!

ok can you post the catalogue numbers if possible? also whether they are the inside out editions? this will really help. I will buy them from amazon then.

http://www.amazon.com/Addicted-Devin-Pr ... 038&sr=8-3KI :
http://www.amazon.com/Ki-Devin-Townsend ... 038&sr=8-2also please tell me if they are manufactured in the US or in the EU somewhere. probably gmbh.
I will really appreciate the help

I asked omerch if Ki included the slipcase, and they said it did. Now we'll see tomorrow when I pick it up at the post office. :3

ahh i forgot about that site. Looks like the inside out one has the slipcase for sure.
I cant seem to find one without the slipcase and both US and German inside out releases have the slipcases. Ill make sure i order them from cmdistro only then.
thanks.
any other info would be appreciated specifically if someone has ordered em recently.

Your first link to Addicted (the standard one; not the import) and your link to Ki are the ones I
think I got... I know the second Addicted has the slipcase pictured, but I know I didn't see that with my order. Sorry I can't remember exactly what I bought, but as I said, it's been a while. Glad I could help!

If you order from Amazon.com (not just any seller, Amazon itself) I'm certain they come with slipcases.

I'd be keen to know too, since I was looking at getting Ki and Addicted from omerch, and as it's been said, it's confusing when Ki is pictured with slipcase and Addicted without. I'd prefer to buy from omerch considering I'm about to order a bunch of stuff from there anyway and for some reason whenever I want things from amazon they won't ship to me :/ Probably doing it wrong, meh.

Ki ships with the slipcase - signed!

And the extra lyrics folder - signed!
Don't know about Addicted though.
