not sure. i need to see a picture of the spine. Might be an ironpak.
i may not get this, if t was a JB exclusive, then i would but if its not a steelbook. no dice

LordCrumb · 10-14-2011, 05:40 AM

^ No its a MetalPak, you can tell by the hinges.

When mine arrives from JB and its a MetalPak, i'll be disappointed, but not to the point where I would send it back. I have Hurt Locker and Sherlock Holmes in MetalPak and I like them.

Rusty1989 · 10-14-2011, 05:44 AM

Ah, excuse my ignorance. I'm obviously new to the Blu-Ray format and the differences between packaging :P

Sorry about that, Supernaut is right, it's a metalpack.

LordCrumb · 10-14-2011, 05:47 AM

I've emailed JB and told them to change their product details lol

change the Blu-ray.com database entry as well. i changed it but i put steelbook, so just swap steelbook for metalpak

Supernaut · 10-14-2011, 05:57 AM

I'm afraid it's no dice for me. It's kinda like finding out that Santa Claus is indeed just a fat alcoholic with a caribou fetish.

NickMate · 10-14-2011, 05:59 AM

Cant believe i was excited for nothing. But had a feeling when it was stated metal packaging instead of steelbook.
Ill just buy the Jb hifi exclusive slip to go with my US slip

Oh well.
Also how good is the NZ thor steelbook

Yautja · 10-14-2011, 08:04 AM

ok, so the NZ version is listed as a steelbook, anyone know if this is right?

I am confused about all posts

So, is it 100% confirmed, that the Sanity exclusive turns out to be a StarMetalPak?

Can anyone confirm having it bought from Sanity???

Really appreciate

yeah it's definately a metalpack if you go to page 1 & scroll down you will see a couple of pictures of it.

T-1000 · 10-14-2011, 08:38 AM

WTF....

Anyway, thanks all for your help on this,....

Pieter V · 10-14-2011, 09:37 AM

The backcover looks nice. Perhaps the Play.com steelbook will have the same backcover.

PS3_Kiwi · 10-14-2011, 11:21 AM

Hope the JB Hi-Fi NZ exclusive isn't a Metalpak, or it will be going straight back

Nommag · 10-14-2011, 09:30 PM

I'm going to just wait till it comes out and then decide from there. JBHIFI has listed two releases so if its a steelbook here I will get it and if it is not I will get the other release that looks like it has more content. I hope it is a steelbook though so their spines match up on my shelf.

LordCrumb · 10-17-2011, 04:47 AM

JB are forwarding my email to the 'right people', but I doubt they will confirm the MetalPak before the release date considering its only 2 days away.

bluraycollector312 · 10-17-2011, 06:05 AM

Hey Guys, Just got my copy from Sanity today and I can confirm that it is indeed a Metalpak, not as good as the metal slip or steel-book i was expecting but it's still embossed and pretty cool

A good add to the Aussie Collection

Regards,

LordCrumb · 10-17-2011, 06:22 AM

Yeah i'm sticking with my order.. they do go OOP, look at Hurt Locker and Sherlock Holmes.. you can't get those MetalPaks anymore.

Exactly! They are harder to find than Steel-books ever are. I found a Sherlock Holmes Metalpak the other day

I was stoked (bought it)! But I've only ever seen The Hurt Locker once and I missed the oppotunity
