My "steelbook" for this (and its companions) are much better.

Not sure I like the front of the steelbook but it does seem to match the Classic Warner wave that came out a few years ago. But now we get a slipcase and a higher price

Favorite Hitchcock movie. Gotta have it.

MifuneFan · 09-15-2016, 02:40 PM

The cover is actually the poster art. I hope to god this means we'll get a Vertigo one with that iconic Saul Bass artwork

MifuneFan · 09-15-2016, 02:55 PM

Kind of a missed opportunity with the slipcase in my opinion

Though I guess they have a whole line of artwork like the one they're using, and only a handful of the nicer anniversary ones.

Yes! I don't care much about the slipcover (though nice that Zavvi got the message about slipcovers with different art from the steelbook), but I'm excited to have a steelbook that goes well with the North by Northwest poster-art one from a few years ago.

And I totally agree about Vertigo. It's one of my most-desired steelbooks. Seems like the easiest choice in the world to make a glossy, bright orange steelbook with the Saul Bass poster. Doesn't need to be anything more complicated than that.

I've been surprised (and my wallet's been happy) that no one has decided to do a whole run of Hitchcock steelbooks; maybe it's about to change.

That movie rating logo is such an eye sore...

Hey that's my "steelbook" as well

Although I guess I will double-dip.

It could be way worse.

The documentary 'Hitchcock/Truffaut' (2015) is on Film4 now.

Welcome to the UK lol. Be nice if they remove the logo from the slipbox or better yet if it were a sticker.

Fantastic addition to 'Psycho', 'Lifeboat' and 'North By Northwest' steelbooks, now bring on all the Hitchcocks starting with 'Vertigo'.

Actually, as it's Zavvi we all know that realistically they'll probably leave it at this. They have a habit of leaving steelbook runs incomplete, (eg: 'Resident Evil', 'Die Hard', 'Luther' etc. )

rickah88 · 09-16-2016, 03:21 PM

Glad to see we are starting to see different artwork on the slipbox.

DJJez · 09-16-2016, 03:27 PM

1 to the uk please

jaraxxus · 09-16-2016, 03:35 PM

Not so bad, but I think I'll pass.
