Maybe they are updating the artwork and took it down for pre-order for the time being. I know, between the writing, the stars and the ratings logo, the stark black and yellow finish is losing it's touch. I have to decide if I want this or the amazon.de version.

I'm going for the netherlands version myself ( if it is indeed a steelbook)
I might just buy the amaray of this and swap the discs around..

As I thought, the third disc is not a Digital Copy. I just got this email from Universal:

Quote:

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your query. The steelbook version of Kick-Ass contains both the single BD disc, and the 2-disc DVD version (which contains the same content as the BD across the 2 discs).

Kind regards,
Stephen

I didn't even know the Kick-Ass DVD was 2 discs, but, either way, it sure beats a Digital Copy.

[Show spoiler]

Yes that is the correct inside artwork for the UK Steelbook.

Thanks

Hopefully that's a good sign for Robin Hood too.

Not impressed with the final artwork. Much preferred the announcement artwork.

I wonder why they changed the brightness of the yellow.

*sigh*

I was hoping I'd be able to pick this one up in-store seeing as how it wasn't an exclusive or anything, but I can't risk missing out on it now. Pre-ordered - and that makes my 11th pre-ordered Blu in a week.

Blu-Jinn · 08-27-2010, 02:17 PM

So, has the steelbook been deleted, or is it being revised on? The release date is only just over a week away, so is it possible that they're doing a final revision over the artwork?

I hope that it's not deleted since I was planning on picking it up from the store. HMV no longer have it listed on their website and Amazon won't allow you to pre-order the film.

I bet you didn't think to ask if the movie synopsis on the back cover was removable aswell, did you.

Marcus Wright · 08-27-2010, 06:01 PM

Does anyone know when this might be released on amazon.co.uk?

ElectroRob · 08-27-2010, 09:07 PM

But it will have the rating logo right?

Halfwasted · 08-27-2010, 10:03 PM

Wow these must be a rare steel, I was gonna order on amazon, but I had to order from blahdvd, I never ordered from them before and I am in Canada.

Please no dents!
