Definitive List of DVD's with SteelBook™ cases. (Part IV) - Page 10

crs · 12-20-08, 06:21 PM

How much would The Jungle Book steelbook sell for, case only and no discs? I assume it's long gone OOP? Someone wants to buy mine, but I've got no idea what to ask for it. It's still sealed (though shrinkwrap gone at the spine as it came side by side to the Disney DVD). Its spine is blank with no title too, I assume they all were like that?

Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English subtitles.

Small Update:

Quote:

For those interested, the SteelBook cases being used for this release appear to be a new batch. The FUNimation logo is present on the back of the case itself, above the Geneon logo, and the small print at the bottom of the back also includes FUNimation's name. While, like others, I would've imagined a fair number of SteelBook cases from the original volume 1 LE release being left over, I guess those involved had decided it was better or simply necessary to commission a whole new batch of cases. Other than FUNi's logo and name, the case is the same as the original.

Stickied onto the backside is a sheet with screencaps, a summary (that interestingly covers specifically the events of the first two episodes, rather than a summary of the entire season, or the general series premise), credits, and all the other usual stuff, also with dual mentions of Geneon and FUNimation.

could someone pick up wanted for me? I can pay with paypal. PM me if you can get it, please.

i'm really surprised there haven't been any major announcements for upcoming SteelBooks™. it seems like December was the loaded month and now we will be in a dry spell...

yep, im reasoning that studios and retailers think they have over-saturated the market, so they are cutting back a bit. bittersweet imho.

Any chance adding the released/release date of the steelbooks? Looks like 2008 was the record breaking release year for steelbook packaging in North America?

Did the poster and post cards come with another version of Death Trance?

WTK · 12-29-08, 05:34 PM

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (LE)...not the best quality shots, but you should get the idea of what it looks like.

BEAUTIFUL WTK! Thanks for sharing! If these are from your new own personal copy, you are quite the lucky man!

It's my copy. I would have gotten it sooner if a certain holiday wasn't in the way. Regardless, this release (and the two other variants) has some issues. Bandai Ent. just didn't do a stellar job on this release (especially with the Blu-ray). Your experience may vary (depending on your setup)...

I don't know...I never heard back from Xage..
Does anyone else have any info. I still haven't gotten it.

kstublen · 12-30-08, 02:33 PM

Maybe xage can confirm this, but it appeared to me as though he contacted them about the lack of the third disc and they not only sent him the third disc, but a lot of bonus stuff as well.

WTK, could you provide more info on these problems? If you've already done so elsewhere online, just link it. Is the video transfer worse than the original DVD release?

So far, I haven't heard of anything on the DVD releases having a poorer video quality. I haven't gone through the LE release myself (I have viewed the Blu-ray release).

In any case, this thread goes into depth of what's wrong with the Blu-ray release (in particular of the video quality and the lack of lossless audio). The biggest problem with the two DVD releases (plus the Blu-ray release) was the UK dub. It was completely messed up. From the looks of it, the movie didn't converted from PAL format properly and the result is that voices are slower and lower pitched than they should be.

So for the DVD viewers (regular or LE SteelBook), the UK dub issue may not matter, but YMMV.

I concur that I am 99% sure that is the case.

WTK, thanks

The Future Shop down the street from where I work had a number of their steelbooks from the past few months (some going back as far as over a year ago) on sale during Boxing Week (last check was yesterday when they still had quite a few). They had stuff like Fantastic Four 2, Die Hard 4, Grindhouse, Godfather Trilogy, Spiderman 3 and some more that have slipped my mind. Just thought you guys might wanted to know.
