Appleseed Ex Machina
Hmm, the direct to dvd feature comes out 3/11 in single-disc and double-disc versions...

Look at the picture amazon has...

Looks like a Steelbook to me...

From the previous posts above about Dune...
Does this mean now.. that the VIVA Metal Pack of DUNE is RARE/Discontinued? now that the one who presently distribute the said Movie is under "Steelbook" packaging?

Viva no longer offers their metal cases, as it infringes on Steelbook's patent.
They originally did DUNE with Universal Pictures but had to stop due to legal issues. Universal Pictures switched to Steelbook but did not have time to create any inner artwork.
Viva first introduced DUNE in 2005 and Universal Pictures switched to Steelbook in 2006.
At this point, I would say that the Viva packaging is more valuable, as it is now OOP, discontinued and unauthorized.

For those Canadian out there, I spotted X-men 2 and Die Hard steelbook at HMV for 2/$25 (previously 2/$30).. Are there any differences in the Die Hard steelbook there were general releases and the Bestbuy US/FutureShop exclusives?
Thanks
Thanks

Die Hard (November 20, 2007 release)
From my observation, the front covers are slightly different, both in colour and artwork. The rear paper insert are the same except for the UPC.

Yeah, I rechecked their site again.. and just found out that since that incident.. they are now producing different type of "Metal" packaging..
Hmm.. Im interested with their... Metal Slipcase?

Reading Steelbook's Press Release on Steelbook:G2
http://steelbook.com/pressroom/g2.pdf
Looks like the Smackdown VS RAW from PS3 (And Exclusively from GAMESTOP/EBGAMES) is confirmed the very 1st Steelbook:G2 to invade North America!
*The first one was Blu Ray's Pan's Labyrynth in Europe?
