Scarface (Limited Edition Metal Slipcase)

[gettodamoofies]

EzyDVD has listed a Scarface "Metal Slipcase" for pre-order. Due for release August 31, 2011.

Prelim art shows it to be square-edged so it could actually be a metal slipcover. Having said that Universal are responsible for the majority of the Steel Cases we've seen in Australia so this may be their next one.

Suffice to say this will be one to keep an eye on, particularly if it does turn out to be a Steel Case as Uni's previous releases have always proven popular and generally sell out quite quickly.

nice find!! That will be a musthave for me, already own all the others, sadly the logos will be fix and not removeable

^ The Blu-ray logo will be and the spine ratings logo likely will be but if it does indeed turn out to be a Steel Case then the front ratings logo will likely be a sticker. None of the Universal released Australian Steel Cases (Smokin Aces, T2, Inglourious Basterds, Fast & Furious, Gladiator) have printed on ratings logos on the front. Only the Paramount releases do.

Not sure why you would think that. Have you seen all the other aussie steelcases? only the godfather trilogy and saving private ryan have printed ratings.

Curiously JB Hi-Fi is now listing a SteelBook for release: http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/d...al-copy/650143

Having said that, with JB's track record in calling everything that comes in a metal case of any kind a SteelBook (they did so for the Hurt Locker/Sherlock Holmes MetalPak) and that the art they are showing is art for the US release I would suggest that this is most likely the same title. EzyDVD at least has Australian art. If that's the case whoever's doing the web site listings wouldn't know what a SteelBook was if it hit them in the head.

Well if it is the slip cover Im cancelling my order @ezydvd [dont like them] and getting it @ JB personnaly not by mail so I can inspect them, plus there cheaper .

Edit: Just phoned JB, they are going to contact the supplier, will post info when received.

Edit 2: just got back info from Jb (within 5 minutes!)

Anyone have any experience of what JB Hifi's packing is like and if they mark as gift for customs (UK)?

Cheaper than Ezy who I have ordered from but if the packing is rubbish and I'm likely to get hit by customs with JB Hifi then I'll spend the extra and get from Ezy.

Thanks.

I got 3 Godfathers from Ezy, minty fresh without costums, because it was gifted with low value

Thanks, maybe I will just stick with them then.

BTW, did you get your Godfathers recently? I notice they are still on the site but heard that others have ordered the metal ones but got amarays instead.
