Universal Steelbooks-June 25th

[Kaiju]

I'm not sure if these were ever announced, but they look pretty damn awesome. I was just browsing the front page and stumbled onto them.

Here are a few I'm interested in:

Loving the comic booky covers!

I'm glad I haven't picked up Shaun of the Dead yet. Putting in my pre-order now, especially with a current price of $13.99. Thanks for the info.

I just did the same. I think these may be re-releases of UK steelbooks as I've seen the Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz art before. In for those two at least!

[Emcg0211]

I can kinda see the comic book theme for Shaun of the Dead and Serenity. But why the other two?

Thanks for mentioning that there's one for Hot Fuzz too. Pre-ordered that one as well.

No problem! For that price, they're definitely worth getting.

I'm only assuming they're Steelbooks because of their appearance in the pics though.

Doesn't say they are steelbooks.

They have the round corners which always turn out to be steelbooks

I dunno... they just look cool, haha.

They have a few others too...

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Paul-Blu-ray/70060/

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Scott...Blu-ray/70070/

Those are more suited for the comic book style, but yeah. They have Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy and a few others that fit the style also.

If you go to the Amazon pre-order pages, there are pictures of each that make it clear they are SteelBooks.

Spoilerized due to the size:

Oh yeah... I definitely have to get Shaun of the Dead now. Love that movie to death.

I also see the following:

Van Helsing
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
The Chronicles of Riddick
Pitch Black
Hulk
The Incredible Hulk
Scarface

Ah, I see what you're talking about. Nice...I'm gonna pack my pre-order cart.

[Jumpman]

I'd get Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick if I knew absolutely sure that the upcoming Riddick would get a steelbook to match these...

Wrong section.

[Scottie]

Thought only Canada was getting these.

[brian9229]

Nice, pre-ordered.
Shaun of the Dead
Pitch Black
Chronicles of Riddick

Ha... but seriously, who cares? It's related to North American Blu-rays, right? So, technically, it's the right section.

I just wanted to let more people know. Not everyone visits the Steelbook section.

Beyond the packaging, they also happen to be new versions of the releases with added content (DVD, UV copy). So unless there are also non-SteelBook versions being released alongside these, they're a general release, so talking about them here is just fine.

Looking at your post history, you really love trying to play mod, don't you?
