Don't like that cover at all, so hopefully it's just a mock up design & the design will be more like this:

I believe that the cover in the OP is the final design and not a mock up.

Hope we get the same extra's as the US version

badly want those deleted scenes!

the only thing missing on the US version is the warrick davis commentary! hold onto your dvds

Damn!

Thought it may be the case, as the German Steelbook has the same artwork!

Oh well, it's not the end of the world & I have to own it anyway as it's a childhood favourite, so i'll live with it!

According to DVD Active, we get:

Quote:

NEW – Willow: Deleted Scenes with Ron Howard
NEW – Willow: An Unlikely Hero – Personal Video Diary of Warwick Davis
The Making of an Adventure with an all new introduction from Ron Howard
From Morf to Morphing with an all new introduction from Dennis Muren
Matte Paintings
Easter Egg

so yes, it looks identical.

HMV are listing it as £13 now, but only a crazy person would order from them.

Caesu · 12-14-2012, 07:10 PM

Im betting this will be region free as well, just like Titanic.

evilzedar · 01-06-2013, 12:22 PM

I had the standard version on order with Amazon, but as the Steel is the same price I have switched to that.

thanks for the link i just changed mine

nazmanson · 01-30-2013, 01:19 PM

Does anyone know if it will be playable with region A players.

As 20th Fox usually locked the region.

TQ

No way to know for sure until the release, although they often release as ABC.
The 2012 releases of Titanic and Prometheus were region free.
