Re: Blu-ray / HD SteelBook Covers

Best Buy is missing the boat on these Disney steelbooks. They could charge $8 each for each of these things empty and sell them by the boatloads. A quick profit for an item that's already being produced in Canada anyway (besides the fact that the more they make, the less they'd cost).

That District 9 steelbook is fucking wicked - way better than the regular cover art - day 1 purchase for me.

Re: Blu-ray / HD SteelBook Covers

Anyone agree that Blu-ray steelbooks aren't as awesome as their DVD counterpart? I still love steelbooks no matter what but besides the sometimes different artwork on the cover and back they still all look the same in their presentation. I remember buying DVD steelbooks and they have a shinier finish or embossed letters or whatever.

Like the X-3 steelbook with the embossed claw marks or the Cloverfield one with the kick ass 'broken' finish. Or hell what was cooler than the embossed Autobot and Decepticon logos for the Transformer steelbooks!

I still collect any kind of steelbook available but i just had to share my thoughts on the blu-ray steelbooks! It just feels like they put less effort into the blu-ray ones than the DVD ones.

W0ot! I just nabbed myself the Monsters inc and Up steelbooks! Can't believe the monsters inc was sold out by 12:05! Good thing i didn't wait till noon to go check (since it said pre-orders would start at noon) they were already selling them at 11:55!

I assume since UP is the bigger and less 'rare' release that they have a little more stock and selling out less fast.

Not really surprising if you ask me. Most (if not all) of the Blu-ray steelbooks are exclusive to Canadians or somewhere else. Therefore most of members of the forum don't get to purchase them so there's little to talk about...

Re: Blu-ray / HD SteelBook Covers

I picked up Monsters, Inc. and Up steelbooks today - can't say I'm a fan of the thickness of them or the way they hold the discs though.

Re: Blu-ray / HD SteelBook Covers

According to the Future Shop forum, Terminator Salvation and Harry Potter won't be steelbooks but a different metal case

Re: Blu-ray / HD SteelBook Covers

So is FShop Up exactly like the Best Buy release minus the content and the blu-ray packaging slip?

Re: Blu-ray / HD SteelBook Covers

If its MetalPak maybe the reason behind it is that WB think it looks cool to have a metal case with matching "lenticular" front design.

Here was the 1st metalpak here in US:

Chances are both HP & Terminator Salvation might have the same packaging (which comes with lenticular effect)
