Gladiator SteelBook™ (UK) - Page 16 - Blu-ray Forum

I have both on preorder right now. I originally preferred the white artwork, however after seeing that picture Jumase posted the UK one is definitely growing on me. It'll have to be a game-time decision...

I went crazy and have both pre ordered

I am so happy I clicked the Steelbook section today. lol...I usually don't buy them. Only have Sweeney Todd but the UK SB looks absolutely stunning! Minus those annoying age restrictions.

I pre-ordered it for the $17..with the $3 shipping it comes to about $30 US dollars shipped...if the currency thing was right. That's really not bad @ all considering the US Sapphire release is fetching about $27. You guys got lucky with the $13 price. Just to clarify some things..

I read the 16 pages and my mind is fried lol. We don't know if it's region free but most of Universal's titles are so we should be good there. Someone mentioned subtitles...what's that about?

And also the special features may be PAL encoded. All-in-all I'm doing it for the case. I love it!

amazon.fr has a pre-order link now showing a white cover steel, same as shown at amazon.de and much cheaper. But without any discreption regarding SteelBook, maybe it's just a regular packing as the UK regular one.

anomynous · 08-04-2009, 03:09 PM

It's in pounds, not euros, so it's about $35

common mistake

richieb1971 · 08-04-2009, 03:19 PM

Universal and Paramount don't do PAL trailers. Not that i've seen anyway.

Is the US$ weakening then? $35 seems a bit steep to me. £20 right now is just under $34, take VAT off, you should be under $30.

Yeah - but amazon.fr shipping is awful - even if they get the same cover as the German one, I'm sticking with amazon.de - less chance of getting damaged steelbooks or loose discs.

I've paid a few EURO more for the express shipping for recent orders and got all steels mint

Remember the original first post I made for this thread?
Well it came from a French press release about the upcoming SteelBook of Gladiator.
Still, they used the UK cover, and I'm really unsure France will be getting this in a SteelBook. We'll see.

Kynch, I didn't find your post yet

Maybe you can help us to get confirmation from amazon.fr

That usually works for me - but my last two orders - every steelbook had a loose disc.

CMM · 08-04-2009, 03:44 PM

Only £3 more than the regular.

My first steelbook

I don't trust getting answers from Amazon.fr, so if you don't mind waiting until October 1st, I'll let you know then.

VAT isn't coming off for me, and they won't take it off even if I email them about it
