Looks like it won't be an HMV exclusive ?

BluraySteve · 02-24-2012, 06:59 AM

Ordered. Loved the film and was holding out for a steel!

what makes you think that?

I believe if it was they already would have stated it in the title 'cause it's something worth to tell from the very first moment.

HammerDave · 02-24-2012, 11:01 AM

Loved this movie, so ordered.

Yes, exactly, they didn't put "HMV exclusive" so i'm pretty sure Amazon UK will have it too

Anyway, we'll see.

They didn't put 'HMV Exclusive' but still they're the only ones having it. Amazon, Zavvi and Play got only amaray case versions + play got an exclusive with artcards... we'll see

Prog5000 · 02-24-2012, 04:32 PM

Ordered.

nekelstal · 02-25-2012, 07:48 AM

Artwork updated

hobgoblin · 02-25-2012, 09:47 AM

Is now showing as an HMV Exclusive.
OP might want to update the thread title.

Toscaclarinet · 02-25-2012, 10:51 AM

I reckon it'll have age ratings etc printed on, since it's an hmv exclusive Disney steel.

Dino Last · 02-25-2012, 03:18 PM

Well I have pre-ordered it, but I will keep an eye out to see if USA, France or Germany get better steelbook artwork, it's a real bummer that Disney will be distributing the Avengers, their Steelbooks are so disappointing compared to paramount's

Disney don't know what the consumer wants.

Age ratings, ugly banners, high prices, no extras, exclusive extras. SMC Disney.

GreatGreg · 02-25-2012, 09:11 PM

Don't know what you guys are talking about.

Disney has some of the best artwork for SteelBooks, IronPacks and MetalBoxes, especially the newer ones, unless you are only talking about European versions.

Paramount on the other hand... let's see there was IRON MAN, and STAR TREK, but they have had a moratorium on a lot of good releases.

Looking forward to THE AVENGERS. On the Future Shop site people are even contributing artwork for the upcoming releases. Apparently the Disney people read the forums.

snooloui · 02-25-2012, 09:15 PM

We're talking about the rubbish releases of films such as Cars 2, the latest Pirates of the Caribbean etc. which feature printed ratings logos, banners, back data, lack inside art and poor extra features. On the other hand Paramount have released titles such as Thor, Captain America, Cowboys and Aliens which feature no ratings or banners, inside art, back artwork, embossing etc. I think that should give you an idea of what 'you guys are talking about'

Mavrick · 02-26-2012, 05:55 PM

To be fair Cars 2 and PotC had inside art but the outside is just pretty average. They are miles away from the quality of Paramounts Steelbook releases.

GreatGreg is from the US though so probably doesnt realise how shit Disney UK steels have been. They definately aren't as good as what the US has got, and thats probably why he thinks Disney are good for steels.

My mistake

Yes, we're from Canada, just waiting to be annexed by the United States as the 51st state.

But we are ready to defend our country with our lacrosse sticks and hockey toques as we are not allowed to carry guns...
