This is coming from Scream Factory. Their Standard 4K will be out a month earlier on September 10th. This Steelbook is a Walmart exclusive, but since those tend to just be timed releases, I won't be putting it in the title.

not in love with the artwork but I need this 4K steel nevertheless
Hopefully we get one for Prey at Night

Not liking the price. Will wait and see if it drops

[El Rey]

yeah I wondering if it would drop or not being a Shout factory release. don't like the price but willing to pay it since its one of my favorites.

[MifuneFan]

Their steelbooks tend to drop to the mid to low 30's from what I've seen. Usually around $33 or so.

If the price drops prior to release, does Walmart charge you the lower price like Amazon does?

They do not. The price you pre-order at is the price you pay regardless. Super lame.

Glad I asked -- will definitely wait before I pre-order this title.

[El Rey]

yup I held off on preordering due to them not automatically adjusting the price when it drops and now it shows sold out. I am sure it will be back at some point but still annoying.

question though - will Shout offer this on their own site as well?

I'm glad Shout is letting us know a SteelBook is coming (and the fact that it's coming only a month after the standard release). That way, this time, I won't have to turn around and sell my "Collector's Edition" with the slip six months after purchasing it, like I've had to do a few (too many) times in the not-so-distant past. A low bar, to be sure, but I'm pleased with this improvement.
