@ AZ.de

3:10 to Yuma is 8,97 EU
http://www.amazon.de/Todeszug-nach-Y...1308827&sr=1-3

Shooter is 13,97 EU
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B003UERB78

Terminator 3 is 9,97 EU
http://www.amazon.de/Terminator-Rebe...308999&sr=1-22

Does anyone know if this 3:10 to Yuma has inside art?
I know it's the only Sony Steel I can think of that won't play here on US BR players...

Forgive me if this has been posted, but inetvideo.com has a sale on steelbooks right now. Got memento and inglourious basterds for under $50 after shipping.

Much cheaper than ebay...

Beware of damaged Steelbooks. They sent out many damaged Memento Steelbooks to me and am in the process of returning them.

You should be extremely lucky to receive a mint copy of Memento.

and my past experience with them means i'd never order from them again. Was a nightmare getting cash back from them for returns

The biggest risk with returning is the merchant can claim they haven't received it and you need go through the hassle of filing lost claim. The hut group seems to be spot on with that.

oh no they asked me to send it back trackable, claimed they hadn't received it, proved wrong, found it, then took 3 months and a load of abuse/public humiliation to send my refund. Utter nightmare

What did you do to humiliate them? thanks for the warning, guys.

I have two steels coming from Movie Mars, a seller I have used in the past with great results.

Thanks for the feedback.

I bought it via amazon.co.uk. So, will esclate to amazon.co.uk customer service if I receive any unprofessional and dishonest response. After I complained about the damaged Steelbook they immediately pulled it out of sale. Its pretty clear that are shipping returned or damaged copies of Memento Steelbook. I have ordered from them couple of times and haven't had any issues but that was when the item was In-stock and easily available.

Sorensen · 07-22-2011, 01:38 PM

That's why I uphold the following formula:

received damaged item from Amazonco.uk = claiming I did not receive it

their response will be the same as when you DO successfully file a claim concerning a damaged item, but it will safe you 35 e-mails en 3 months of whining.

Ordered Momento from inetvideo and received a dented copy. Nothing major, I just didn't wanna go thru all that hassle.

It has something, but I'm not sure I would call it artwork.

And yes it will not play in US players despite being labeled region ABC. Found that out after I opened it.

ocielz · 07-22-2011, 02:54 PM

If you can get the the France edition, get it. It region B locked but it has different cover art and I don't recall inside art. Looks much better then the stock cover pic.

Why didn't Amazon help with the return? And why did it take three months?

SlaughterHighMe · 07-22-2011, 05:17 PM

Thanks for heads up on what to expect from inet. I've bought from them before with no problem, but it seems to be a special case with this memento dent ordeal.

Here's hoping I get lucky and mine arrive undamaged...

lgans316 · 07-22-2011, 05:59 PM

In my opinion they are selling damaged ones which were returned to them.
