There's only one version in a steelbook. The other comes in a standard keepcase.

I think people are confusing it with Appleseed which was released in three variations. This time Geneon released Hellsing Ultimate with only two.

1 steelbook design but two different packaging.

the steelbook only is exclusively sold at Bestbuy

the steelbook with figure is the other variant

TRC

Oh okay, that explains it. I had no idea there was a store exclusive as well. Does the Best Buy version come with both discs from the LE?

I own The Departed and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I may have to pick up this new Boondock Saints one.

Lt Ripley

You better hurry up and grab one. They have already started producing it with just a regular keepcase.

Its basically the same with the set in the limited edition (with Alucard figure)

bgmat58

quick question guys. i have the boondock saints with the metal slipcover with the regular dvd case inside of it which is totally different from my departed steelbook packaging. so do i have a different one or are you just calling it a steelbook because it is metal???

Overpar

The Boondock Saints case is a steelbook. If you look on this inside on the left (usually where an insert would be) it says "Steelbook" at the bottom. The new Boondock Saints are coming with a regular case and a slipsleeve over that.

TRC

And here's the proof! I am so glad because I wanted the two-disc set but didn't want to shell out extra for the LE. I even still had Best Buy gift cards from Christmas. Thanks for the heads up xage. :-D

Hi All SteelBook(tm) fans.

Just to clarify a few things, Doom, Halo 2 and Splinter Cell were in a Viva case, this is not SteelBook(tm) SteelBook(tm) is the patented design. SteelBook(tm) can have embossing or debossing applied, and can be in Matte or Glossy finishes. Available in single to 4 disc cases.

Recently The Grudge 2 and The departed were retailer specific in the US and Canada
Heres a link for all titles globally. There will be more titles in North America

hi every one how ya doing, last night i was on google and i was looking up dvds steel book editions. I happend to come across on amazon they are re relasing xmen 2 the 2 disc set and man on fire and hannibal , castaway and fightclub in steelbook edition. I saw the cover art for xmen 2 and fightclub and, i have to say they look cool im going to be double dipping on xmen 2 just to have the steelbook edition. Im going to buy fightclub i never got around to buy the current 2 disc set or the one disc set. Just letting ya know if ya interested in seeing what the cases looks like go to amazon.com i would post pics put im on crappy webtv lol by the way they are coming out in june. take care

BuckNaked2k

Oooooooo, that Fightclub Steelbook looks pretty sweet. I may have to (reluctantly) double dip on that one.....damn!

y2afromphilly

you damn right its sweet, good thing i never got to buy the current 2 disc set of fightclub or the one disc set. I was thinking the other day damn if fox is re releasing these movies again in steelbooks. They should start releasing all their movies from now on this way it doesnt matter if they are 1 disc or 2 disc set they look awesome in this kind of package.

richard1.1

How accurate are the amazon descriptions on that link? As it is listing as having DTS. Cool packaging and DTS would definitively be worth the double dip.

jpdude

where can i find that Superman Returns steelbook shown above? is it really R1?

xage

Ofcourse its an R1, I bought it from Futureshop Canada.

Not sure if I'll double dip on the Fox steelbooks. Might wait for some pricedrops. I'd get the Abyss if it were anamorphic.

benh911

I'll probably double dip on Man on Fire..I was thinking of getting the Collector's Edition anyway, and I love these steel books.

madcougar

I can't imagine double dipping for just the steelbook. This reminds me of when comic book companies started putting foil and holograms on their books to pursade people to buy multiple copies. That didn't end well for the comic book companies.

OldBoy

and, coming soon...

neuroticomic

for anyone who purchased the FIGHT CLUB steelbook, is there a booklet included?
thanks in advance
