Life of Pi 3D/2D Steelbook (Limited Edition) (UK) - Page 8 - Blu-ray Forum

Yes and this matte finish on popular movies is a real dampener to me.

Outlaw1986 · 03-16-2013, 07:15 PM

I wish they came out with one in the states. They just got the regular versions here tho. And I think the one from zavvi is overpriced.

Hussun1 · 03-16-2013, 08:28 PM

Would've been better with a gloss finish but still looks great. Hope the UK version has a lenticular as well. Should be similar to the Looper FS steelbook with some nice back and interior artwork. Can't wait to receive it!

lgans316 · 03-16-2013, 10:33 PM

Looper FS is glossy.

GenPion · 03-17-2013, 12:12 AM

Matte finishes on Steelbooks are much nicer and preferred for my interests in steelbook editions. I don't like the glossy ones as much.

Glossy = fingerprint magnet.

I think the dude is referring to the lenticular printing, which I suspect will not look good. I much prefer the look of metallic silver on the HMV/Zavvi Looper.

I preordered this thru Zavvi. Their version isn't out until 4/29.

The question is... what's under the lenticular card?

The Looper Futureshop steel front cover is vastly different from the lenticular card covering it.

Not sure I'm a fan of how they keep that secret and everyone basically blind buys a steelbook having no idea what the front cover is.

Seems like a relatively important thing that buyers should know.

I would imagine it would just be the same art as on the card. At least I hope so. Every other 3D steel I've seen released in EU has anyway.

It's the same. I just saw a pic of the steel without the card within the last 30 minutes but can't find the thread at the moment

So it's a definite that this will become the UK's first ever lenticular steel then?

UncleBuckWild · 03-27-2013, 12:52 AM

For people in the UK.

Looks like this will also be available at Tesco... for £22.00.

Don't expect to see this in stores, the last steelbook we sold in Tesco was Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and I don't think there was ever one before that in store at Tesco.

mrpink134 · 03-27-2013, 01:31 AM

IS this region free?

Other countries versions are and there has been talk of the UK one having the lenticular cover but Ive not seen anything confirmed 100% so as far as Im concerned, I dont care what folks say ours will have based on what other countries have, I'll believe it when I see it ....
