It would have being Nice if the steal book was limited edition 3 movie pack like they did with basket case and sold them separately in normal cases. I would imagine they would move more copies that way

Nice, a must have for me, saw this in theater w/ my GF, the one that got away.

I agree josuv22, I had originally hoped for a trilogy steelbook a la Basket Case. Now I guess it's wait and see with regards to the US distributor of the 1st film (Criterion or Synapse), and more info from Scream on the sequels. I wouldn't have minded paying for a steelbook trilogy with exclusive extras now, and then potentially double-dip down the line, but shelling out 38 pounds (roughly 59 bucks) for three individual releases right now isn't very appealing, as spiffy as that steelbook for the first film is.

Don't think so, It's more likely to be the master that Umbrella have just released in Australia. Slightly different, Details here:

What about the 'Scanner Cop' spin-offs?

update regarding the transfer

"The transfer is the most recent, completed late last year and different to the German release and we believe the same as the recent Australian release. The SteelBook is Limited Edition so there will be new packaging at some point but we can't say now when or what it will be."

I get what you're saying, but I for one am really happy it's only the first as a steel. With Basket Case all the films are on the same level, but with Scanners the first is in a whole different league to the other two.

I only want the first one.
