United Kingdom Universal 100th Ann Steelies - Quartersteels/no artwork?

According to a thread over at bluraysteelbook site:

Thanks to Wreck we have now found out that the steels will feature LANDSCAPE ART and NO INSIDE ART, with the possibility of having no back art either (to be confirmed).

To be perfectly honest I'm really not too bothered if this is the case, I can easily do my own artwork and I quite like the Waterworld Quartersteel so not a problem for me!

Thanks for the info. If this is true, I will give this a pass. Although Casino is the only one that I am interested in. Wasn't the German wave horizontal with no back and inside artwork?

What's a 'quartersteel'?

I don't own any horizontal ones at the moment but I can't say i'm too bothered if these do turn out that way. As long as there's no printed banners or logos, i'll be happy. I'm more disappointed that they won't be having inside art or back art. Still I'd rather have an average looking steel than an amaray.

I expected this to be bad but it's turning out to be worse. Thanks to Universal for saving my $$.

Actually it's a QuarterSteel because it doesn't have inside or back art -- only a quarter of the art of a regular SteelBook!

It means its around £5 per movie, since you only pay quarter the price.

The Media Markt Exclusives were normal G2s with pretty nice designs on the front.

Looks nice! Might be my first horizontal steel, as £9.99 is a great price!

I've got 4 Steelbooks in my Play.com basket now, MI-Ghost Protocol, Casino, Kick Ass and AWIL. I've never pre-ordered anything from Play, do they take the money out of your bank on release of the order or straight away??

They take the money when the item is dispatched. For pre-orders this is usually about 5 days before the release date.
