Pretty, but I need 3D. Hope they add that version later.

Re: Official New & Upcoming Exclusive Steelbook Discussion Thread
That was indeed a problem at one time..."Alice Through the Looking Glass," "Jungle Book," and "Pete's Dragon" were missing spine titles. There's a dude who posts over at Blu-ray.com who was ingenious enough to create magnetic spines with the missing titles. You don't have to mar the surface of the steelbook because the magnetic strips lay right over the title-less spines. I may order them from him or create them myself. But that really doesn't bother me as much as not having the 3D versions. Truth is, the most recent Disney releases have had titles on the spine. In fact, Zavvi's "Dr. Strange" had a spine title while the Best Buy version did not! So, at this point I don't believe that is an issue.

For me the lack of a valid DMA code is a bigger deal-breaker. I play the digital HD copies in my pediatric office, so getting that and a 3D blu Ray outweighs the desire for a Steelbook. Still have my that Best Buy adds that version as well.
But yeah, the nameless spines suck as well. As I mentioned before, the Target exclusive Secret Lives of Pets Steelbook also lacks text.

Yeah well, digital codes are not a consideration for me. If need be, I can always purchase that seperately. My main interests are the steelbook and the 3D copy on disc.

When the American version of the same SteelBook looks much better like this:

I purchased Plain Archive's paper full slip version of Zero Dark Thirty and it looks gorgeous. Don't have much of their material, but it just might be the best Plain Archive I have.

Re: Official New & Upcoming Exclusive Steelbook Discussion Thread
I would never buy a resissue of a movie I already own just for the Steelbook. I already own the UK-imported Monster set and that's all I need.
But for new releases, I still will often take the bait.
That said, those are cool looking Steelbooks. Looking forward to seeing them in-store.

However, if you like the format, Korea and China are putting out some really nice editions these days.

Zavvi now has a Cars 3 SteelBook with 3D. Only available on the UK site but not the US site, for some reason.
https://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/cars-3.../11514906.html
The temp art displays the movie's title on the front cover, but that will probably be removed per Disney's m.o. in Europe.

Re: Official New & Upcoming Exclusive Steelbook Discussion Thread
If Best Buy keeps insisting on having expensive exclusive Steelbook releases (and not allowing pre-orders for in-store pick-up), they really need to revisit their shipping techniques. The "stuck between two pieces of cardboard" method is seriously flawed. Here's what came in the mail for me today :
