The Dark Knight - FNAC Exclusive SteelBook™ [France]

[Kynch]

I forgot to put "Unconfirmed" in the thread title, but it has more to do with the fact that I don't know if it'll be a SteelBook or a simple MetalPak.

Found this info:





The Dark Knight - Boîtier Métal - Edition spéciale Fnac - Blu-Ray

Out on February 13th for 30€.

UPDATE WITH PICTURES:


Still sealed


Front cover of SteelBook and small folder


Back cover of both the SteelBook and the folder


Interior of SteelBook plus the comic book and the two photos


Comic book

Looks exactly like the German Edition.....

Has anyone ordered from FNAC before? How do they ship and how good is their return policy? Have they previously offered SteelBooks or could this be a MetalPak?

Is that somewhat of an issue?

I've ordered from FNAC before but since I'm from France, I don't know how their international shipping is.
Regarding shipping and return policies, I'd say they pack their stuff alright, although I got a 7" Vinyl sent so I have no idea what they use to ship DVDs and Blu-rays.
I might have announced something that isn't true, I just read "Boîtier Métal" and assumed it would be a SteelBook. I'll edit the post when confirmed or not. And they haven't had any SteelBooks before, but given the fact that the movie's been released as a SteelBook in many different countries, you could bet it'd be one in this case as well.

It seems this SteelBook is not exclusive to FNAC. Lots of online stores are carrying it including Amazon.fr. What may be exclusive is the 32 page comic book and 2 photos. I did a comparison of costs between Amazon.fr and FNAC for 3 SteelBooks delivered to US and

FNAC: 24.58 Euro each x 3 + 20.55 Euro = 94.29 Euro = ~ $120 or $40 each.

Amazon.fr: 22.98 Euro each x 3 + 14.70 Euro = 83.64 Euro = ~$107 or $36 each.

Are extras worth $4? I guess that's up to you.

ps. How many more TDK SteelBooks are we going to see?

[Kynch]

Wow 20€ shipping for three movies to the US. That's expensive.

Probably just an early photo, but the Amazon.FR pic shows the spine reversed (words reading bottom to top instead of top to bottom)... There are several SteelBooks that have this and it looks like crap...

I'm sorry for not doing more research then:

The spine on French books (and DVDs) always reads bottom to top. That's the French standard.

As far as I know none of the French TF1 SteelBooks are like that... I know for a fact that Kill Bill, Rescue Dawn, Next, and Casino have normal top to bottom spines...

Here's a pic of more spines as well...

What is the confirmed format on the french version ? It would be earth shattering if this is a 2.35:1 master all the way through.

Is that you, DF?

Is it too early to ask.. where is the portuguese subtitle??

29,99 € + 8,30 € = 38,29 €
It's expensive! I already got the German and it was cheaper!!


By the way I only pay 5.7€ from Portugal to worldwide.. We could combine forces

FNAC are using excessively high international shipping prices indeed. Might be better to go for the Amazon.fr version, except it won't have the small freebies the exclusive FNAC version has but who cares about 2 postcards and a comic book?

I also missed out on the FS post cards, so I would rather get the more exclusive version.

[Kynch]

Well I'm definitely getting a copy or two of this the day it comes out.

I don't think we're supposed to talk about this here, PM me instead.
