Oblivion MetalPak (Walmart Exclusive) - Blu-ray Forum

Spartan123 · 07-01-2013, 05:29 PM

So I found this on this website but I haven't heard of this anywhere else. Anybody knows if this is true? I tried to find it at walmart.com but couldn't

I hadn't heard anything about one... if that pic is accurate, it looks like it's actually a metalpack release similar to the ones Walmart had from Paramount's catalog recently.

It's nice looking, but not as nice as an actual steelbook.

If that's a MetalPak, eww....

If it's a Steelbook, great!

Smigro · 07-01-2013, 06:24 PM

I see plastic slips on the spine which leads me to believe this will be a metal pack and not a steelbook. I would love for it to be a steelbook though since I like that artwork better than the UK and other releases.

i don't care which it is, day one for me. i didn't get to see this in the theater. i'll be happy with whatever specialty case it is. yes, while a steel would be nice, metal or digibook is just as good for me!

to each their own!

rickah88 · 07-01-2013, 06:50 PM

Love the Metalpak!! Hope this turns out to be true, one less UK import for me!

Agreed! I will pick this up from Wall-world day 1!

Looks like someone just took Future Shop's picture and made up an entry for a WM exclusive. I don't see any evidence this is coming to the US.

I thought, at the minimum, you had to have a retailer web link when submitting to the database? I guess not.
Oh well, hopefully WM receives a Metalpak. I believe that would be their first new release to receive that form of packaging.

seregloth · 07-01-2013, 10:46 PM

There will be an in-store preorder at Walmart starting tomorrow (according to the shelf tag I saw today), so it might be able to be resolved once we see what picture the preorder features.

Whirlygig · 07-02-2013, 01:59 AM

This cover >> UK Steel cover

But I will still take the UK Steel.

That's how it should be otherwise you can just add anything and start confusion.

I'd rather have a steelbook than a metalpak, but Oblivion just got bumped up a day 1 buy.

Drinkinstein · 07-02-2013, 11:31 AM

The spine on this looks different from the Futureshop one that just went up for preorder a little while ago, I wonder if its just the mockup?

I was just thinking that also...that definitely looks like a steelbook spine and not a metal pack spine.

humm,might have to head on down to wallyworld and check this out

Looks more like an Ironpak case to me. It's a strange hybrid design that has a steelbook illusion but opens differently.

Tech-UK · 07-02-2013, 12:27 PM

I wish this and the other releases with this front artwork were SteelBooks. Not keen on the UK/FR/GER bridge artwork.

I agree, that the spine does look SteelBook.
