Steelbook Supremacy

[Neon Ignition]

Up for preorder now at Zavvi

[Soundwave]

I like the more minimalist style of SB Soundwave. The big glossy pictures of characters and actors do nothing for me, that's what amrays usually look like anyway

I see what you are saying but still even as minimalist goes that's pretty weak.

Another arrival yesterday...

Sent you a message and I've got Friday the 13th (last one in the best buys I tried)

Shopping for blu's in New York isn't the best being honest

A whole host of old film SB reveals today but amongst the mix is Rocky Horror Picture Show, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Non Stop, Speed and Big.

I really liked steelbook blu rays, really did. I have a fair few, but it was when Zavvi and Amazon started printing any old ****, with little thought that I was put off. A Steelbook to me is meant to be a superior, collectors version of the standard release. Why, oh why don't they include some form of booklet, or whatever with the film. It just confirms how cheaply these are put together.

Haven't bought a steelbook blu ray since The Hobbit, and even that I felt ripped of as it was ?10 a few months later =/

I do think Arrow releases are of a better quality, I hoped for more from Canal, but they've fallen by the wayside a little as times gone on. Won't be buying steelbooks from zavvi, they've saturated the market with crap.

[Neon Ignition]

For me I'd happily have SB's be standard packaging, I've tried to wipe standard cases from my collection, trying to just have SB's as I love the consistency and think they look much better. That said, though the volume of releases doesn't bother me the pricing does, far too much milking on that front.

Art is up for Speed

[Neon Ignition]

Art is up for Robin Hood





Also for Zavvi exclusive V For Vendetta



Exclusive Mars Attacks

Yup, right pain, I had to cancel Mary Poppins to balance them all out

It's getting annoying I budget around release dates & this just cocks it all up & in fact it's rare now that you need to pre-order a Disney.

I mean most are still available.

I'm beginning to think I won't bother pre-ordering past Robin Hood now just doesn't seem worth it.
