Hi There

Im getting into blu-ray ownership and love the look and feel of steelbooks. However, especially with Zavvi ones, I cannot work out which transfer it and often they are only one disc versions. Can anyone advise where that info can be found?

They are nice but it seems to me they are often not the ones to buy.

Thanks!

Zavvi SteelBooks usually just come with whatever disc the amaray UK version has. So if you can find it in our database (by switching the flag to UK), you should be able to see what it has. Or check the UK Movie forum and see if they are discussing it in a thread there.

Can one also do this to find the audio/visual bitrate of various BD discs? I often want to know if a US transfer is better than say, a UK or Asian transfer of the same film.

I know there is a thread for that, but I don't know where.

Hopefully someone can post that link so I can bookmark it for future reference.

I know there is a thread of this, so sorry if its been asked 100 times.

What's the best protective sleeve for the cheapest price? I'm from the UK, and have just bought 10 steelbooks.

Depends what type of protection you want and how much you're looking to spend.

I put all my steels in these

Are they the ones used in shops with the alarms on them?

Just anything that will stop scratching will do. As for price, well, the cheaper the better

My 10th email to Kimchi about my missing Edge of Tomorrow steelbook

Hi! This order was shipped on October 7th and now it is 4 months later and I have not received the order yet. Tracking #RR931039538KR shows no movement since October 8th and the last update was it being in the Korean Post Office. There is no Departure from the country information. You told me when I initially reported this to give it more time, which I have now done. I am afraid this order is lost now and I would like a Refund, or you can give me Store Credit for a new order that I will place. I hope we can reach a good conclusion here because I really like collecting your exclusive items.

Thanks!
Jason

Tony's reply

Jason

In case of Small Packet, we can check it via our post office.
We will ask to find it.
Please wait.

Tony

Please wait?!? That's the response I've always gotten, on the rare occasions when I get a response. You think it's going to being sitting in the PO still after 4 months? Maybe you should have checked there better on the 2 week email I sent. Ugh...
