I don't have a whole lot of exclusives that aren't steelbooks, so I'd say my favorites are

from Best Buy

from Zavvi

On both of them the gloss is incredible, and in the case of Cinderella makes it better than the other Zavvi Disney steels.

On the digibook front my favorite is from Best Buy

bigdaddyhorse · 04-14-2015, 12:53 PM

Best of the best:

Just plain cool:

Would be better if steelbook, but the nicest metalpac I've seen yet.

Only wish this wasn't so huge. It should be Jaws size, not Jaws and a half!

Actually like the normal art better, but the steel is nice, esp. without stacked/stuck discs!

Best exclusive steel ever (by look and feel of steel), IMO at least:

I also really love my Fright Night 2, Night of the Living Dead 90 and Maximum Overdrive BD's, exclusive to vidjunkie.

That crew does some great work that puts major studios to shame!

All these people posting the digibook of JAWS are cracking me up. Suffice it to say, my Amazon.de Limited Edition Exclusive of JAWS pounds your digibooks into the sand!

I'd agree with you if everything was in English.

The outer box is, and the massive book inside is, so I can put up with German on the Steelbook itself. Actually adds a little charm to the whole affair, IMO.

imsounoriginal · 04-14-2015, 01:33 PM

For exclusive content, off the top of my head: Noah from Target, Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol from Best Buy, The Avengers from Target, and both the Walmart and Target exclusives for Man of Steel (if you're able to track both of those down, it's a very nice complete package of extras that was unfortunately split up by the studio). As for packaging, that's too subjective, but the recent Marvel Steelbooks and the BB Captain Phillips and ZDT Steelbooks are really nice.

EDIT: my favorite Steelbook that I own is the Iron Man 3 one from Spain, just wanted to single that out for packaging.

My English may be a bit rusty, but that back cover looks like German to me.
It is pretty sweet though. Besides the German text I can't read well (I dabble and know a few words, more from sound than text though), the biggest issue is it doesn't have a shark on the front cover!

That is nice the book is readable though (German customers may disagree with me).

Did that Jaws digibook stay Best Buy exclusive, or did it go wide after a time period? I know if it did go wide, it wasn't for long. Those sold out pretty quick, and while E.T. and other digibooks kept coming back in stock at BB, Jaws only did one time and then was gone for good. I think I saw E.T. over X-Mas in store again. Which reminds me of the E.T. steelbook from Target, another nice exclusive (and one of very few Target steelbooks that never popped back up).

Can't believe I forgot this one when making my fav list:

Another one that never came back, and lasted much shorter than E.T.

Also really like this one, even though it still pops up to this day it's the best cover art in the US (besides imports)

jscoggins · 04-14-2015, 02:13 PM

Yup, the E.T. and Jaws DigiBooks were sold everywhere, so they don't count.

I was just being a smart alleck (spell check can't help me with this one) and bustin' em. All harmless, and it is a dope package. Hopefully that sigh had a laugh attached.

I promise it did. Otherwise, I would have rolled up my shirt sleeves, LOL.

I'm pretty sure when they were first released they were both Best Buy exclusives. If that really is the case, then I'd say they count.

They were Best Buy exclusives initially.

raptors661 · 04-14-2015, 07:43 PM

I really like the Best Buy exclusive Aliens and Predator DVD box set. The movies are stored inside the base for the figures. It looks really nice on my shelf.
The video doesn't show it, but the alien blood lights up.

Not anymore. Best Buy just got a window.

I still have these DVDs because they were expensive for me:

I remember these being EzyDVD exclusives but I could be misremembering.
