Taken (Play.com exclusive Blu-Ray SteelBook™) - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

jammyone · 03-28-2012, 07:12 AM

Alien Anthology is a minimum of 4 discs so G1 or jumbo steelbook, or will they release the films as separates.
I suppose they could do a G2 holding 3 with a loose disc in a paper sleeve but it's hardly ideal.

Apparently play will begin shipping steelbooks in boxes!

Found this thread on that ninja site. Seems like they get all the exclusive news.

I would love to own this. I'm sure they will pop up on eBay, but is there a way to get some of these from an actually retailer that is in or at least ships to the US?

Mavrick · 03-28-2012, 12:37 PM

It's funny how every order I get from play has always come in their cardboard box. I never even knew they shipped in envelopes

Guess you guys just have all the bad luck?

It's crazy how much the slip sells for. I bet there were moreslips printed than this steelbook. Yet this steel will never reach the stupid amount of money that slip has sold for in the past.

Total Steel count from Play.com has now reached 13!!!!

All released within days of each other!

Will this Taken be the same 'extended cut' as the normal release, only it doesn't say on the cover (glad) but it doesnt mention anywhere else?

I doubt Fox will make a new disc with different content just for Play

I doubt it. You may want to put a request here or in the trading forum.

I love Taken, but that cover art blows.

I'm on the fence - this looks like it might have a kind of 'cut out' effect thing going on. A matt background with the character/s in overlay (see also: Man on Fire).

It's hard to tell from the current images - it could be awesome, it could look kinda cheap.

Groge511 · 03-30-2012, 10:23 AM

Ordered!
Loved the film and was wanting it on blu-ray anyway so a steelbook for an extra few quid is fine

benzgrl · 04-03-2012, 04:50 PM

Do we know Region coding on this?
