No, it is a 2 disc set. Unfortunitly one disc comes in a paper sleeve and does not fit in the case. Looks like somebody screwed up when specifiying the amount of discs that would be in the case.

That's a great looking case.

I saw this at BB today and thought it looked pretty nice, but decided against purchasing it because it only has a steelbook case and no extra content.

On the paper back of mine it was the same as my regular Blu Ray, and the steelbook said it had almost 13 hours of bonus content, but I haven't watched mine yet so I can't actually confirm the extra content.

Has anyone watched theirs? I'm assuming that the quiet re-release one could get by calling BVHE Customer Service which corrected the mis-framing of the original TCOtBP release that cut off Orlando's head in some shots is what's being proffered here.

My perception from watching Amazon Marketplace and the stock still available at the three Best Buys I've been to in the past week is that these are not moving briskly. Perhaps it's because there's no new content and there are so many other options vying for folks' Holiday coin?

The paper sleeve with the 2nd disc fits perfectly on the right side.

That is correct, if you put in on its side, it fits perfectly.
This does not bother me much since I put my disks in plastic cases and print out covers. I then store the steelbooks away from hand's reach. When I first got Watchmen, the wife's sister came over to watch it and she put the disk in the ps3.
The way that she handled the disk and steelbook made me make that decision.

"Finally" picked this up at Best Buy today after my original release sold. It scanned for $19.99 not $34.99 as marked.

I just traded for this gorgeous steel myself, I just wish it was a 2 disc case, that envelope inside it is kind of tacky.

Well, if you get a hold of some of those blank steelbooks from amazon.de, you could just swap out the disc holders. I think those ones on amazon have a 2 disc holder already.

Aren't those dvd size though?

One of your James Bond SteelBook (forgot which one) should have come with a 2-disc case... Just switch the insides...

I only have the Thunderball Bond steel but I'll take a look inside it in a minute, thanks.

Have you done this? If so, how did you handle the spine?

I'm looking at my For Your Eyes Only and TCOtBP Steelbooks. It wasn't as easy as I hoped to be mindful of any damage to the tin and remove the plastic. Although the interior plastic mold is one piece, the pretty metal exterior is three separate pieces. The spine appears to be a metal strip attached to the plastic that looks like it might be difficult to remove without bending. Even if one was to successfully remove it, there's the issue of affixing it to the "new"/preferred plastic interior.

Any tips on this if you've successfully switched cases would be appreciated.
