Just saw the movie and another great Ridley Scott masterpiece. Highly recommended.

It seems that this little damage has every Steelbook.
Every user from bluray-disc.de get the steelbook with this product defect.

But its very very small, you see it only if you remove the plastic foil and know where the dent is.

Rat-Man · 03-30-2009, 07:51 PM

yes, also my copy have this defect

jw · 03-30-2009, 08:43 PM

yes the ones I got have it, but looks very faint compare to the picture

Travis Bickle · 03-30-2009, 11:41 PM

Wow! Hooltra looks like you have damage in several areas!

The one on the cover that others have pointed out already, on the back theres a dent where the steelbook opens, the view of the steelbook spine looks bent at the bottom, and the clear plastic disc inlay appears cracked! That's f**king criminal!

You just gotta send it back...

yea all 30 of mine have them, not even gonna email them as its a widespread problem that is documented across the German forums as well, so I gauge its a manufacturing error

Yep. The Error is definately a Production Spoof, as it doesn't matter where you get it from (Amazon, MM, Saturn, uncut.ch,etc...). Some are graver than others, but they all have it.

But on the bright side, I REALLY enjoyed this flick!!

yea, the ones I have arent as noticeable but believe it or not, Amazon threw the steelbooks in a box and none were damaged

Yea, you gotta love Amazon's Packaging (NOT!!!!!)! I was literally shocked that my Pinocchio Box wasn't damaged when I got it!

victors · 03-31-2009, 11:11 AM

I agree with you guys, but now Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.fr both use the new systems of shrinkwrap all your package. Your item doesn't even move inside the packaging box... I never have any problem with Amazon steels, specially now.

HUM... I ordered a cardboard case.. would the shrinkwrap damage my cardboard?

urbeenjammin · 03-31-2009, 11:54 AM

well,if there's a positive,this is considered a standard.similar to the wanted u.k. steelbook with the logo partially off the top of the case...so this is considered the norm.not a handling issue at all.so complainers won't be able to use that as an excuse with their steels being mishandled.

Jase Winter · 03-31-2009, 12:51 PM

mine arrived today from amazon.de, no dents or anything but atleast one of the discs is loose inside, hope it's not too scratched up!

If you unwrap it, take a close look at the lower right corner on the front. I garantee you that you definately have the mentioned indentation.

victors · 04-10-2009, 07:50 PM

Got mine yesterday. The title is not that big. The only problem I think is the red is too dark.. I hardly could see the picture of the cover

lolototo · 04-14-2009, 06:37 AM

The way it was losely packed with all other items together was very wrong, the oversized hard digi-book might be the main cause for the bent. The similar situation also happend to my TF1 steel Hyper Tension received earlier with other steels in one package. But most of the steels shipped individually didnt have the problem.
