Beauty and Beast isnt considered catalog by Disney since its the first time on bluray. It will mean major sales. What he is referring to is titles already on blu-ray, like Meet Robinsons, Dinosaur. Look at the catalog SteelBooks, they are terds and still in many Best Buys. Titles like Monsters Inc and UP and even Snow White and gone and harder to come by at a store level

+1

I didn't buy all of them because I owned all of the Pixars/Pirates on Amary besides UP. I picked up Nightmare before Christmas because it's my favourite movie and the Disney Classics as I didn't own them. Otherwise I would skip them. Would I buy a Toy Story 1/2 SB? Probably not but if they made 3 also a SB, it would be kinda weird to not at least match them up.

Beauty and the Beast might be a catalogue title but at least it's not like it's already been out on Amaray for several months. That might be what killed the sales on most of the titles, since they were already widely available, and for some time already.

PRINCE of PERSIA + BEAUTY and The BEAST...my dream come true...

I agree that prior BD amaray releases may not produce optimal sales, but if they keep the numbers reasonable (say 4000), they will sell. In any case, new to BD still leaves these:

Beauty and the Beast
Toy Story 3
Prince of Persia
Finding Nemo (?)
Dumbo (?)
A Christmas Carol
Fantasia/Fantasia 2000

true, but if they don't go with 12, it becomes random since the whole concept is a play on the 12 days of Christmas (aka Christmastide).

Having said that, I'll take what I can get without complaint

Usually I dont buy older movies on blu ray, but as The Beauty and The Beast is on of my all time fave movies + it comes in a steelbook, chances are around 100% that I will buy it day one.

P.S. Why do you guys think its a steelbook?
When I go to their page it doesnt say steelbook, its just two of the same identical pictures with the link for 1 not workin
P.S 2. I searched the word "steelbook" on FS website as you did and none of them came.

Links are dead. We have to wait for an official announcement but with even an error, it seems it will be likely to happen.

Just to stir the pot, we have new SKU's popping up for Toy Story and Toy Story 3 soon as well.

zwostler · 08-14-2010, 01:25 AM

chances are high that Bestbuy will also get the Beauty and Beast as Steel aren´t they?!

Anyway, its good news for those who want full collections. I'd be happy to hand pick a few here and there.

Last year 13 Steelbooks were released and beside Snow White, Up! and Monsters inc. (that most junkee (like me) bought from one of the zillion Countries who already had it) they were all catalog titles

Can you name one more "new" title?

Toy Story 3, Prince of Persia, Finding Nemo, The Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo and Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 (fingers crossed for the last two) are brand new titles so there's plenty of choice.

Cheers,

To be honest i didn't care for most of the Disney Steels released last year. They only ones i thought looked cool were the POTC Steels. Other than that i thought they were just........ok

IMO Monster Inc looked the best, along with Ratatouille.

chaingunsofdoom · 08-14-2010, 06:35 AM

Are we playing guess the possible Disney SBs still?

You guys missed: TRON and The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010). There *has* to be a TRON BR coming before December's new movie. It wouldn't make any marketing sense if there wasn't one... if it's an SB, all the better!
