Yay! Ordered.

Where will we have handy links for the other stores and countries? I see a thread for the US Best Buy and this one here for Zavvi UK. Fnac has it in France and I just see a listing on this site that amazon Spain has it, cheapest yet, 25 Euros.

If you want them you will probably have to search for them and make them yourself.

This site focuses mainly on the U.S. steelbooks, Zavvi steelbooks and Blufans.

Some people will occasionally mention that the same steelbook is cheaper in other countries but nobody makes threads for them.

I assume you mean "this thread" and not "this site".

To be honest I don't think it's worth creating specific threads, and in the past I have seen threads listing shortcuts for other countries' versions and I've found that extremely helpful, and they were in the main post, so only the OP can do that.

FYI Spain is not 4k, just 2k - this is why it's cheapest.

Thanks for that, I didn't start my check yet whether or not to cancel the fnac version so now that you tell me, I won't

No, it does not. You may want to read your post again. This is what you are saying: "This site focuses mainly on the U.S. steelbooks, Zavvi steelbooks and Blufans."
"This site" means blu-ray.com. And if you meant the main forum blu-ray.com/forum, you would again be terribly wrong.

Ah Yes. OK I see what you're saying. I meant the Blu-ray SteelBooks forum or thread (not sure which is the proper term) as opposed to the West Side Story thread.

Just got mine from Zavvi. I was surprised at you how beautiful this Steelbook is. Really glad I took the plunge and ordered it.

A steelbook should always have separate thread when a release is exclusive to retailer in a country

As this is a UK steelbook it has a separate thread
It's not a trade wide release in UK
UK steelbook release is exclusive to Zavvi and shoud only have a purchase link to Zavvi


If a steelbook with same artwork is been released in other countries a separate thread should also be created for each country especially if is a retailer exclusive in that country
You also should not assume the steelbook will be exact same as other countries as often it's not

Steelbooks can also have different finish and different discs content in some countries so they not always the exact same steelbook
This reason alone is why there should always be separate threads

Example
The USA steelbook in regards to this film release is a Best Buy Exclusive which is why it has a separate thread
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=348227

You should always have separate threads when it comes to releases from different countries which is what we do at Hi Def Ninja web forum
As in separate thread is created for each country release with purchase links that apply only to that country

Same as Best Buy. Would rather support them in Zavvi, but them I'm not across the pond.
