Is this real? The non-region coding makes me want to think otherwise.

DISC TWO
* The Film - "Workprint Version" (96:41 mins). Workprint is in poor quality.
- 0:00 Frank Castle and Jake Berkowitz are on a stake out with Sam Leary under cover as a prostitute (Moretti Bust). It continues to shows Frank Castle's family and the friendship between him and Jake. Frank gets a phone call from the police station that Gianni Franco is leaving the country and the pair head off to the airport to serve him a warrant, afterwards the pair returns to Castle's home to see his family being blown up in the car (16:04).

Through out the movie we see extended scenes and alternate dialogue being used, and only the major differences have been highlighted above. The workprint also shows 4 scenes in a different order from the theatrical version.

This movie was heavily cut in Germany and the restored 5 minutes of footage to the unrated version appears in good to poor quality through out the film, and is taken from more then one source. This is an NTSC source master that has been converted to PAL.

so there is a version like this, but some differences abound and this one is R2.

The metalpak was made by another company. No comparison in my opinion. It is a two piece construction, The SteelBook is a one piece. when you open the metalpak, it stops at about 155 degrees. The STeelbook opens like a regular DVD case and lies flat. If you make the metalpak lie flat it damages the hinge which can cause some metal edging to appear. Made in China. SteelBook made in Europe and USA. SInple really.

Is the Die Hard SteelBook the single-disc edition or the 2-Disc CE?

2-Disc.

Scott,

Do you want to update the first post? If people come here looking for a "definitive list", they should see more than two titles. :)

well, at first it was a question. i made a little note to see all posts in thread. maybe one day when i have time i will compile and put in 1st.

I have edited my Post (#72) to update my Steelbook findings. You are more then welcome to copy and paste it into the first post for everyone.

For Canadians, the next steelbook exclusive from Future Shop will be the PE Jungle Book.

Futureshop.ca has also solicited an exclusive Steelcase for Fantasic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer version:

Edit:

Shrek the Third

It's going to be very expensive months for us steel book collectors.

I was researching steelbooks from germany and I came across this....

http://www.steelbooks.de.vu/

Thanks. It has been posted on this thread a couple of times. ;)

Futureshop now was a steelbook listing for Spider Man 3 for $35.99 (ouch)..

It's listed as bilingual, so probably will have English/French packaging..
Later

Damm! I wasn't aware of the Death Proof and Transformers steelbook edition. Thanks for the heads up johnsun.

Indeed. I do like these things.

Madness? This. Is. STEELBOOK!

This is bullshit. Futureshop gets so many exclusive steelbooks! That's it, I'm moving to Canada.

Can't we just order from their website?

No, the bastards don't ship outside Canada!

Sorry, Futureshop.ca doesn't ship outside of Canada.

why are some of these so rare? I'm looking for I, Robot, Cast Away, The Day Afetr Tomorrow, and Hannibal. Werent these just released a few months ago? Are they already OOP ? I cant find I Robot anywhere.

I don't remember there ever being an I, Robot steelbook. The other three shouldn't be too hard to find, I have Hannibal.

i'm pretty sure i've seen I Robot steelbook edition somewhere. I think Cast Away and Hannibal are already OOP

I Robot steelbook is only available on R2, Germany and UK Definitive Edition.
