I know it's going to sound funny, but it looks like a steelbook. I know steelbooks and tins both have corners, but the cover looks like the kind of dry matte you saw on the steelbooks for The Departed, The Clone Wars, etc.

All I have to say is "in Xage we trust", I have no doubt, it is a steelbook, and anyone that has been around here for a while should know better. Xage is a very well respected member of this community and as far as I know has NEVER provided inaccurate information. Check all his post and these will be backed up by them.


Xage, you are the man, thank you again for posting the information.

I work at FYE and I can confirm for y'all that the WM25 SteelBook is a SteelBook.

Looks rather nice too.

Let me answer on behalf of Scott.

If I put my belief to official and always wait for official I might end up confused - like you?

Here is a direct example of why "official" is difficult to figure out:


Back February 2009 - WWE (via their WWE Magazine) officially Advertised this:

Quote:

But Officially - The said merchandise never existed nor was it released in FYE.


Fast Forward a Month after - unofficially, Liontamer made this post

Did I just stumble across one that was here in the a US Wal-Mart by mistake?
And unofficially - he is right

bottomline:


You shouldnt ask (more than once) about "official" nor tell others the degree of difficulty understanding the word "official", because from your statement below (in reference to your post from very 1st page of this thread) , your belief is confusing:

REST OF USELESS POST SNIPPED
So Scott is unable to answer the question. That's not a surprise. What I do find surprising is that you would take the time to respond, when you couldn't answer the question either.

Regardless of what I may have said in the past, what I was asking for here was some sort of official information, whether it is from the studio or the store. I was pretty sure I made that clear. Perhaps I didnt. You obviously cannot provide that info. It's ok, maybe it just isn't available to you.

As to the Royal Rumble Steelbook, I am well aware of the history of that one. I wasnt aware that I had asked about that dvd. I thought we were talking about the Wrestlemania 25 steelbook. Perhaps I should have made that point clear.

Oh, and I will ask a question as many times as I want, until I can get an answer that addresses said question, thank you very much.

Re: Definitive List of DVD's with SteelBook™ cases. (Part IV)

jj,
just go to or call a TWEC store on Tuesday, 5/19, and find out for yourself. why anyone would want to help you in the least, now and in the future, after your posts is beyond me. stop being such a pompous ass and play the hand dealt.

Mod note: scott you've been here long enough to know this type of language/attitude is not welcomed here

i dunno WTK, doesn't look very "official". and the way the sticker separates the words "Steel" and "Book" like that, rather than the proper one word... if only we had a more definitive way of confirming...

It's ok. Not everyone knows what "official" means.

Re: Definitive List of DVD's with SteelBook™ cases. (Part IV)

I got the Fight Club Steelbook a couple of days ago, and I have a question.

It had that damn pesky sticker stuck right along the top, and when I tried taking it off it left a lot of sticky stuff on there. Any reccomendations for cleaning it without ruining it or am I stuck with a Sticky Steelbook?

Goo Gone is your friend. A little bit of that on a soft cotton t-shirt, rub gently, minute or two later, spotless steelbook. Available at Wal-Mart and similar type stores, probably hardware stores as well.

I have stuff like that around (I think it's called Goof Off or something like that) I just didn't think of using it because I wasn't sure what it would do to the design on the Steelbook.

Thanks for the tip dude!

From a glance, it looked like Hard Rain.

I could be wrong.
