G1 sucks, but its a trilogy set so whatever I guess.

Where does it say Steelbook and Bestbuy Exclusive on there website?

And when everyone says Universal is a flipper company. Does that mean regardless of the set you buy you will get Flipper Discs?

BB.com doesn't always put "exclusive" and "steelbook" in the item listing until right before release. And if you look closely at the pic, it says "Best Buy exclusive" or something to that effect on the paper slip that goes over the top of the steel. Plus it looks G1 sized in the pic, and it's $10 more than the regular edition.



And if you read the JP Canadian thread you would have seen that the picture on BB.com looks just like the Canadian release...



Looks pretty clear to me.

yea...i think ive come to the decision of just wanting the 1st movie...i already have the other 2 on dvd and thats enough for me...

what are the chances a few months after this release they will release a single disc steelbook that looks exactly like this but with only the 1st movie ?

I'm thinking it might be the same price as the regular release on the 25th.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! I just cancelled my order for the regular set and got the limited UK set yesterday. Now I have to cancel that and get this! I know I said I wouldn't get a G1 (okay, wouldn't it be much easier to call them DS or BS for DVD Steelbook or Blu Ray Steelbook?), but I'm very happy with the Green Lantern Best Buy steelbook. And having this next to it will just make it look even better. Having the steel look trim to this just makes it look a lot better. The UK looks two plain with the two colors.

You are correct, they aren't actually BD releases, they're DVDs in a DVD case with a BD in them. It's actually extremely irritating given the market we're in and that it is nearly 2012 yet DVDs still get better editions than BDs.

The Green Lantern steelbook has the Blu-ray logo on the spine, not the DVD logo. Regardless of the size, that makes it a Blu-ray release, IMO.
