Make Avatar A Steelbook!!!!!!-Maybe a Denmark Blu-ray SteelBook? - Blu-ray Forum

lDlisturb3d · 02-16-2010, 07:51 PM

Best Buy should strongly think about making a steelbook version of Avatar when it comes out!

jw · 02-16-2010, 07:52 PM

Studio said No to Special editions, Only hope is abroad. This was confirmed by Brana, FS buyer (Best Buy is their parent company)

Since the studio said they were double-dipping at Christmas time, perhaps there will be a steel release then.

Studios have to approve these, This will sell SteelBook or not

SapGoblin · 02-16-2010, 07:59 PM

maybe the 3D release closer to 2011 could be a steelbook collector's edition?!?!

He hinted at approaching the studio again in late 2010 about a SteelBook. I hope Germany Gets one.....

I bet the studio thought people wouldn't double-dip if they got a steel the first time. So they might be using a steel as even more incentive to double-dip.

I'm going to look into making a custom "steelbook" case so I can take a load of dough from people who are into such things.

I wouldn't joke about that - someone got banned for doing that very same thing.

Funny thing is I was about to buy one.
Lucky I didn't.
Didn't know jack about steels and metal packs etc. at the time.

I was under the impression that a certain pinoy made a custom batch - that was among his many other transgressions.

His "legend" continues to grow....

On the other hand, I've been wrong before.

Hey man no one is gonna want something that not official, so good luck with that lol.

danny24 · 02-17-2010, 07:31 AM

There will be an Avatar steelbook on both Blu-ray and DVD someplace in the world, they will milk every drop out of it. If there isn't, they are complete morons since this is the highest grossing film of all-time.

MaCruz · 02-17-2010, 11:46 AM

I'm in for one where ever it's going to be sold.

If BB doesn't do a SB, I'll take one of their action figure exclusives. I'm one who fell in love with this movie after watching it a few times.
