Would you buy a Michael Jackson, This is it Blu-ray SteelBook™? - Page 2

RobLutter · 11-02-09, 02:36 PM

I don't collect carpet bagging movies about child molesters. So no.

More about the fact that this film was haphazardly thrown together for the only reason to make cash than anything though.

I love Michael Jackson, but I wouldn't pay more than $10 including tax and shipping for this.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 11-02-09, 03:31 PM

I love to see 1 limit per customer when it opened @ Future Shop. Imagine there are 1800 copies made.

AmityBoatTours · 11-02-09, 03:40 PM

HA got to love that comment about wanting to see a limit of one from the person who buys up every copy of every steelbook he can to turn around a flip for a profit lol

The artwork would be the same as the regular release.

All comments are welcome.

Given that the majority in this forum voted "No" on your poll, will you still provide this poll to the ones that asked you?

I, The Bus™, would probably not Purchase® a SteelBook™ DVD® or Blu-ray™™.

If the thread was called "Show your love for Michael Jackson", I could see how saying negative things about him would be a threadcrap. But this is a "Will you buy this?" thread, so we have every right to say, "No!" and explain why not.

Yes, retailers always accept consumer's comments, regardless of how bad the review/comment may be.

This poll was also posted on a few other SteelBook™ forums and there is a huge difference in opinions from site to site.

Admiral7 · 11-05-09, 04:41 PM

Yes, I would most definitely buy this in a steelbook edition if offered.

gimmepilotwings · 11-05-09, 11:52 PM

absolutely

howwon · 11-07-09, 12:36 AM

I will be sending the results from this weeks poll to the retailer. Thanks to everyone that voted and posted their comments.

Link to this site will also be provided to the retailer.

No way I'll be wasting my hard earned money on this.

Agree on all counts.

DthRdrX · 11-07-09, 02:59 PM

No, and I buy a lot of steelbooks.

I would buy the rest of the Bond movies on steelbook ... hint hint.

smokinscurvy · 11-10-09, 01:32 PM

Two words ~ Fuck No!

buckee1 · 11-10-09, 05:09 PM

Not a steel book but, I am all in on the BD release.

lamphorn · 11-11-09, 03:06 AM

I don't pay more for packaging. Just don't see the point.

That said, I was never going to buy this. I might take a peek if it shows up on cable just out of curiosity. I would possibly rent a Blu Ray of his videos or a concert from his prime, but this release just reeks of necrophilia.

The name of this movie, the huge surge in demand for his albums, the inevitable remasters, the stories and tributes... are almost enough to make me consider the kooky theories about him doing this whole thing as a stunt. You have to admit, it would NOT be out of character for him. If next year, he comes out of hiding with a new album and concert tour "Back from the Dead" and explains his fake death as "the ultimate performance art piece from the King of Pop", I honestly wouldn't even blink with surprise.

Give it to WB then change it to MetalPak™ or something.
