X-Men: First Class (FNAC Exclusive?)

[Kynch]

Read over here: https://forum.blu-ray.com/ironpack-o...exclusive.html

The description clearly states a SteelBook for the movie. Booya!

Already announced as a steelbook and the movie is not even out in theaters. I doubt it but it may be possible.

Same thing happened with Fast Five, so you never know.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a FNAC Exclusive SteelBook. 20th Century Fox love them some SteelBook. You can safely stop doubting.

the problem with Fox steelbooks is they never have inside artwork....

ok, except Avatar...

Perhaps you should try typing slower and maybe USE CAPITALS.

FFS !!

Kynch, I don't know why you're talking about a steelbook in the topic of the Fnac box set because I've re-read what is written behind it, and there is nothing about a steelbook, neither on the website.
And even the, the steelbook is not clearly stated on the Fnac website.

On another not, the card on the box set is only of €24.99.
And the steelbook should be at 29.99...

Description on FNAC site originally mentioned clearly SteelBook.

I don't know whether or not the edition that Kynch posted contains the steelbook but this one sure does.

I received my order from FNAC today and it is indeed a steelbook, and a nice one at that.

You cannot tell from the pics but it comes with embossed lettering on the front cover. The Blu-Ray banner is grey to match the colors of the artwork and it's also quite thin, so it doesn't yell out Blu-Ray like some steelbook covers do. This banner actually works for the cover, it doesn't bother me at all. There's only a small Blu-Ray logo on it and nothing else.

The back cover has nice artwork and no disc info etc. There are no annoying age rating logos anywhere, so the steelbook looks really clean. It's pretty much perfect if you ask me. The spine is upside down as usual but that can be easily fixed by removing the spine and turning it around.

You also get a small, hardcover picture booklet. It's quite nice and contains a lot of pics but it's kind of surplus as it won't fit inside the steelbook.

My camera is busted, so I cannot post any pics besides the one that I found online but here's a video clip that shows what the steelbook looks like:

nice and honest review.

by the way, the spine is opposite for all the French release steelbook...not a mistake..it's was intended that way.

The gray banner color is perfect for this color. You do know your color I prefer the banner to be bigger just like Iron Man futureshop That's my only gripe about it. I wish all future release continue to use the banner.

Thanks. I thought I should post a short review because I wasen't sure myself if I would be getting a steelbook or not, until I opended the parcel.

I forgot to mention it but this one has inside art, unlike the UK Play.com exclusive. The UK version also lacks the embossed text on the front cover and has age rating logos printed all over the steelbook. This is clearly the better steel, if not the best.

Yeah, I've noticed that all French steelbook releases have the spine going the other way (and some German releases too). I just remove the spine from the case and glue it back on the other way round.
