I like my Italian steelbook better.

JimDiGriz · 07-09-2015, 02:34 PM

The General is rather late here isnt he?

I expect everyone has got the rather nice boxset already. Easy pass.

DarkEco910 · 07-09-2015, 03:17 PM

The more I look at this artwork, though, it reminds me of Zavvi's Empire of the Sun. They would look great together if they were being displayed.

There's nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning.
Smells like victory!

I wish we'd get an awesome Steelbook release that includes all 3 discs of the Full Disclosure Edition. I love that edition. The packaging sucks, but content clearly wins out here.

Wireduck1 · 07-09-2015, 11:10 PM

The horror; the horror.

Well they are using the same artwork as the UK 3-disc boxset which was very nice.

THX19870107 · 07-10-2015, 09:19 AM

Amazing news! I have been waiting for this for ages now! Now let's hope that this will include all 3 existing discs, and existing art cards would be also very welcome.

babylon · 07-10-2015, 11:09 AM

This one has the potential to be great if they do a gloss finish and have 3 discs

CouncilSpectre · 07-10-2015, 12:35 PM

Got the box set. Pass, but could be good.

It's zavvi. So you will get 1 disc. Be grateful in case it's glossy :P

i will possibly buy it in case it drops to 10pounds or less. Got both 3 disc bluray editions already (UK + US)

I could be wrong but I don't belive SC uses gloss too much. Maybe here and there but I think the bulk of my SC steelbooks are matte.

That used to be the case but the majority over the last year or so have been gloss.

(W)KRP · 07-11-2015, 01:28 AM

By far my favorite art of this film. That's why I got the AU metal case. If it's glossy I might get it anyway.

GenPion · 07-11-2015, 01:41 AM

The art is stunning but this should come with all of the discs.

lolwut · 07-11-2015, 03:51 AM

1) Easy pass if it doesn't come with the 3 discs from the Full Disclosure Edition.

2) The front is very nice, but the Italian steel is something else with its embossed gold title and (I believe) glossy finish. It only has 2 discs though.

3) I hate you Studiocanal and your black-and-white inside art.

4) The back is boring.
