Should be availble on AmazonUK, I'll just wait for that purchasing option.

Vertigo2010 · 03-12-2014, 08:28 PM

This'll still be the cut version though right?

It'll be the same version already released in the UK, so if that's cut, this will be too.

Also just a heads-up for importers, this will be region B locked

Same here most likely. Amazon's packaging might not be the best, but they're excellent when it comes to returns / refunds.

This has the potential to look pretty stellar!

Not seen this one but put in an order. Probably be a while before I see, still not got round to opening my Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon steel which I've had for over a year

Ditto, I really wish TMNT would show up as well. Why it has taken so long is beyond me. Maybe Zavvi get ta certain time frame were they list if first then everyone else.

I thought I saw it on AmazonUK, or was that the non-steelbook?

Isn't the transfer of this horrible? I have the amaray and I was really disappointed with the picture quality, especially considering it could have looked stunning.

rickah88 · 03-19-2014, 11:06 PM

Looks like the AmazonUK listing is up:

I submitted the edit for steelbook packaging, for this site's listing:

That looks boss.

neoz · 03-20-2014, 01:32 PM

Hmm minimal artwork again. Was hoping for something different but nice.

Jude72 · 03-20-2014, 01:36 PM

Got my order in at Amazon.co.uk. Love it and I already have the US blu-ray so doesn't matter than the disc is region locked.

Did the same thing as well.

Also added the rear and interior artwork plus the links to Zavvi and Amazon UK guys.

MifuneFan · 03-20-2014, 03:12 PM

I absolutely love it. It looks like something that Masters of Cinema (UK) would make. It's too bad the transfer is so poor though

Glad someone else said it.

ultlife2013 · 03-20-2014, 07:31 PM

I like the Disney spines on the studio Ghibli releases but those Japanese releases are nice as well.

I think the fox basic artwork isn't really working for their steels

GenPion · 03-20-2014, 10:39 PM

The Ghibli ones are beautiful. This is just a so-so design. This isn't that interesting either as the South Korea digibook looks much nicer and has a better transfer than the US or UK editions (better bit-rates).

G:Box · 03-20-2014, 10:50 PM

the problem is not that the design is minimalistic, the problem is the design itself, the choice of font and art. I think they could have come up with something way better than this.

I wasn't getting this regardless. Already double dipped twice on this release.

I like this...
