The only way a play zombieland would affect the german zombieland will be if it has the same artwork which I honestly doubt it will, anyone find a play steelbook using the same artwork as a steelbook released in Germany first?

If I remember correctly Amazon.de had the same Transformers steelbook cover a while ago...
But I don't really know for sure.

EDIT:
I only found the DVD steelbook, looks the same, but I don't know what the back looks like.

War Of The Worlds shares a lot of similarities:

From my searching their is no evidence to suggest that anyone will sell the same steelbook as one released in Germany first, personally I wouldn't mind if they did do the same one even though I have the German one as I bought it because its my favourite steelbook and a great film.

the war of the worlds one carries a German title name unlike zombieland.

Can't argue with that, zombieland has a fantastic looking steelbook and is great film indeed!

That's what I meant by a lot of similarities, 'cause of the title and the German has a banner.
And yeah, Zombieland is also Zombieland in German.. so that explains that :P

Not really true, look at what Play's IM steelbook did to the FS value.

If a collector wants to collect limited editions of say the German "Psycho", then a UK company such as Play brings out the UK version.....there will be German buyers and UK buyers who do not require "foreign text"...that is why they have country specific releases.

Now if a UK collector is happy to have a German import - that is all well and good, but do not begrudge other UK collector's the chance to own the UK version when it is released.

YES! I was hoping for this one. Hope it looks like the German one.

I don't own the German Zombieland steelbook.

As long as the artwork is different I'm okay with this release.

We will see what you bargain hunters say in 2 years time when your Hunger Games HMV exclusive goes for £200 on ebay and play.com releases another one just like it.

There will be late adopters saying "ooh, now I can get it for £10 instead of that ridiculous £200".

What goes around comes around.

How do you like it when you buy something for £50 and then someone say "Well I got it for £10"? The prices people pay for things is respective of how they feel. You get a good buy, you feel happy, you get a bad buy you feel let down.

When concert tickets go on sale for ridiculous prices, Bon Jovi doesn't do a concert for those who missed out for £10 each because they missed out. They missed out, end of.

This is commonplace in the free world.

I suppose the only way to stay on the right side of the fence is to pretend ebay does not exist. But how many people will make the mistake of paying a high price for something only for it to come out again later on for a fraction?

if you want debates like this to stop, then ask play.com to stop raping everyone of their collections. Because keeping things in mint condition for 5 years only to find brand new editions are coming out is kind of wearing thin.

edit - I don't like having these threads without artwork. The titles should be announced with artwork. Cos I couldn't give a hoot if its got different artwork.

I would be surprised if more people liked the fs iron man better than the play one, thats the deciding factor which one looks best combined with scarcity, what could they do to make a better looking zombieland? Same artwork or its worse imo.
