Appears to be the same as the UK version. JBHiFi exclusive. Oct. 19 release date.

FML. This just has to happen after I imported the UK version. :/

Oh well, I guess I'd get this too if it's cheap.

IdeaOfEvil · 09-07-2011, 06:27 AM

region free?? (hopefully??)

Top_cat2 · 09-07-2011, 08:31 AM

was just talking to one of the Big Wigs from JB HiFi, and he rekons there will be 30 steelbooks on there shelves before Xmas this year

They just got back from a major meeting and its only JB HiFi thats getting all the steels

I think they are gonna piggy Back on some of the runs being done in the UK & Europe ??

any one else heard any thing about this ??

^ I'd heard they'd be getting more exclusives but I didn't hear numbers. 30 sounds crazy though, that's almost two every week basically. JB's been lucky to get 1 every two months.

I may give this one a shot...

Just as long as they are also released in New Zealand and not just Aussie. It is annoying that stuff like godfather never got released at JBs here with the metal slipcover.

Menouthis · 09-07-2011, 11:42 AM

Hopefully some of them are Disney stuff. I would also like X-Men First Class steel.

Sanity? They're still exist as a shop? Unless you meant as distributor. Oh, steel slipcase is okay, I guess. Not as awesome as steel book but at least it's STEEL.

Before the rumour mill starts churning, I haven't seen anything that says it's a slip. Sanity's product listing says "Sanity EXCLUSIVE Metal Packaging!"

http://www.sanity.com.au/products/22...sive_Packaging

At the moment it could very likely be a steel considering it's getting a Steel release elsewhere and Fox have never done a metal slip release.

LordCrumb · 09-08-2011, 08:59 AM

whew lol, I got the UK release for just under that price so i'm not that annoyed lol

probably grab another copy as I freaking love this anime.

Hi mate , I got an Email from a member on the German Foums saying that it is the same as Scarface & Paul packaging.This is confirmed and the guy's overseas have been going nutts allready ordering Direct from Sanity

Allso there is no way on this Earth we would get a SteelBook on the 19/10/2011 and the rest of the World gets theres on the 31/10/2011 >??????
I may be wrong but I have the Email from the Marketing Department at Sanity.
I am pretty peed Off because I caunt stand those Big Ugly Slip Cases

DetroitSquirreL · 10-09-2011, 07:21 PM

anyone know the difference between this steel book and the UK stelbook?

(as far as content)

LordCrumb · 10-10-2011, 11:50 PM

No doubt the content will be exactly the same... booklet and disc.

Leterface · 10-11-2011, 07:30 PM
