That’s what happened in the US. Now the same pattern is happening elsewhere in the world.

Eventually 3D will be niche like vinyl.

There’s way too much product out there to get hung up on a near nonexistent tech. Plus I see all of life in 3D, every second my eyelids are open. I don’t mind the few hours 2D break when looking at the screen.

Doesn't Best Buy most of the time get the same steelbook anyway?

They will more than likely do comic art first and re-release an overseas steel design 8 months later or so.

I'd be okay with that in this case to match up with the other comic art DC steelbooks. The only one I didn't get from BB was the Aquaman 4k steelbook because I liked the UK one so much better.

weird thing is im pretty sure i tried to avoid using the words exclusive when i made this topic because i figured this would end up being the case. Maybe someone edited my post. Either way i tried to update appropriately

This thread should be re-named if possible. Never was, and is not currently, a Zavvi Exclusive.

Theres been a few posts about this already. it's not possible for OP to edit a thread name once posted (pretty sure an admin edited zavvi exclusive into it the first time). So if an admin finds a chance to change it i'm sure they will if not atleast additional purchase links are in the OP

on a side note, i'm surprised bestbuys taking some time to put their listing up. typically they have a listing up the day it comes to theaters.

Yeah no worries I saw and thanked your previous post, my comment was directed at whoever unnecessarily labelled it an exclusive and can change it.

I've been importing my DC steels since Wonder Woman. I'm not a fan of the comic artworks at all.

Wonder Woman doesn't look like Wonder Woman on the cover. Aquaman looks weird to me and Mera doesn't look great either. Only Justice League looks fine to me. A bit worried how Shazam! will turn out.

Will go ahead and blindly pre-order this as the Best Buy steelbook will most likely be that woeful and vomit-inducing comic artwork.
