Warner Steelbooks - $9.99 each at Best Buy, 6/3 thru 6/9 - REDUX - Page 8 - Blu-ray Forum

Drewbee87 · 11-20-2012, 08:10 PM

I got Superman Returns today. Why is it so difficult to get the BD out of the hub?

lcummins · 11-20-2012, 08:23 PM

Just an FYI for "complete-ist" out there... the Wrath of the Titans is actually different from the 3D release steel... same artwork but the title doesn't say 3D. Not much difference I know, but some people (like me) see them as different steelbooks. The Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows looks to be identical at a quick glance, but I will take a better look and compare them tonight to be sure.

Wasn't hard for me. Put your thumb on the hub and pull on one of the four corners with your index finger. Should just pop right out.

Have somebody pictures off all steelbooks?

I did! But after bending the clips that hold in the disc in just a little, it's coming out a lot easier.

They had to dig in the back, but they had all four new ones. I have a complete set again

If somebody can help me out with that non-3D Wrath of the Titans steel, pls let me know! I got some play.com steels for trade.

solarrdadd · 11-21-2012, 05:41 PM

my store has almost none of the items listed; only saw the batman steels and that's it. i see they are listed again in the sales circ. for this coming weekend so perhaps they will be available in bulk starting sunday.

Brian81 · 12-20-2012, 08:46 PM

I missed the sales in May/June, and ended up buying MOST of these in the fall at retail price. Argh! Especially 'Matrix', 'Shawshank','Gran Torino' and maybe one other which were like $25 each. Turns out they weren't so limited, or they went and ran another batch off.

Well, I did pick up 'Sherlock Holmes' which I missed the first time around.

Anyone grabbing what titles are left for this latest Best Buy upgrade and save?

I was told that the Best Buy steelbooks are all missing the inside artwork since they're just cheap reprints or the out-of-country originals. Is that correct?

I'd go as far as saying that your inquiry about the lack of inside artwork is correct. However, your inquiry regarding "cheap reprints of the out-of-country originals" is a little off the mark.

The first wave did have Canadian markings (ratings, I can't remember exactly) on them. Some of them did at least. How could the outer artwork be the same and have no inner art? Unless they were leftovers or something that didn't go through the full process.

I was going to pick up the three Lord of the Rings titles yesterday, bit they're $14.99. I already own the (non-extended) trilogy, so my max price for double-dipping (even for steels) was $4.99 each after U&S.

I believe these are the only Warner steels that aren't currently $9.99. Story of my life.

From the looks of the May 7, 2013 release slate, Warner is not only re-releasing some of their own films already available on BD but now putting them in Steelbooks (HEAT, THE TOWN and all of the Burton/Schumacher BATMANs), but they are also re-releasing some already available Par titles as Steels (CHINATOWN, FACE/OFF, BRAVEHEART).

Also, it looks like quite a few of these $9.99 BBY-exclu Warner Steelbook titles from last year are now going wide (THE MATRIX, V FOR VENDETTA, SHAWSHANK, LAST SAMURAI, etc.).
