How much did you pay?

Where did you get those? I have some that are for regular steelbooks with j-cards, but they're a little too snug for this steel-digibook.

I use these. My Steelbooks fit perfectly with their J cards.

I didn’t know that. Thanks for putting me right.

But it begs the question why say it’s got a commentary when it hasn’t. Did they put the wrong disc in I wonder?

Are you asking about the Steelbook version or standard edition?

I had preordered the standard case version back in August from them…it shipped the day before the street date and I received it a few days later that week…

Now they will see sales dry up without a slip at full price and be like OOPS we overprinted lmao.

Slippy Hollow.

Steelbook

I'll wait for bargain bin prices. No remastered bluray? With the old one being so...old? I'm really switching away from the major studios and buying more Criterion/Kino because their bluray/4k combos at least include a recent bluray, if not a completely remastered one.
Honestly, DVDs from 4k scans look better than the early blurays from laserdisc/vhs/dvd era masters. I'm so sick of seeing discs from masters that are old enough to drive or vote (or even drink).

In this case it's so old it will probably come back and haunt you.

MPEG TOOOOOOOOO...

I always think that most studios include the Blu-ray so you can buy the release now if you don't own a 4K player but plan to upgrade in the future. You can now watch your Blu-ray until then. If they have a plethora is BD in stock, they are probably looking to get rid of it.

Odd that you say that. I have the snug-fit SC2 sleeves (open spine version from steelbookcentral.com) that fit this just like any standard steelbook. I also have the SC3 version (room for J-card) and they are just too sloppy for Sleepy Hollow, letting it sit open a bit. I don't understand how the boxes that Count Orlok shows would be different than the sleeves regarding fit, but if you struggle with that, these sleeves may be your answer.

Hope that info helps.

I use those slipcase style protectors too, but mostly for UK releases with the thicker slipcover, as my polybags for US releases won't fit them. For everything else, that'll fit, I use the fully enclosed type. I've never had an issue with Steelbooks and J cards. I'd love them to be available for digibooks, but their sizes are too various.

My Sleepy Hollow SB fits perfectly without being too tight or loose. The only difference is that Sleepy Hollow is a bit weighty.

Here's SH (W/ J card), Three Ages (UK thick case with slip), and The Exorcist (W/ J card). Three different types of packaging, but all fit perfectly in their enclosed cases without without issue.

Just give a stripper that money good lord.

Unbreakable steel I want too. I had the chance to get it at Best Buy but it was damaged or I was too cheap can't remember. But it's like 60 now after tax. That's just too much I think. Cool film just like this one, but one that I will probably watch once every ten years.

Most of them were complaining about the design of it with the book inside and wait like morons for others to post pictures of it first
