excellent film,and it say's it has english subtitles.
man,september & october are going to kill me.so many releases.
 
Think its cause all TF1 titles are steel. They listed it as a steel on another site, just not on amazon.fr yet but it may very well be steel too.
 
I am not too sure about this....
amazon.fr tend to confuse people. I ordered a few from them and it turn out to be plastic casing but the picture shown as steelbook. I.E. Bangkok Dangerous, Casino, Pulp Fiction and Saving Private Ryan.

Watch out!

yea with amazon.fr its like playing lottery - either you get lucky or not. The problem is they stock both in there warehouses and they just reach up and get which everone is in reach at that time- and there support really sucks - no reponse and "i dont care " attitude.
 
Well this is the first time I deal with amazon.fr and probably the last. After receiving 8 to be steelbook and 6 out of 8 were plastic casing. I cancelled the rest of my ordered like Apocalypto, Laader 49, The Passion of the Christ and Gran Torino.
Like you said Amazon.fr is like playing lottery and definitely this lottery is way too expensive for me to play with. After I got burn, I figured I should post here and warn the rest about amazon.fr

BTW where else can I order "The Passion of the Christ in steelbook"?
 
I've never order from Amazon.fr for the same reason. I am not sure what other store you can order from. Maybe mams can share some light on that?
 
Unfortunately all the sites I know do make no difference between conventional boxes and steelbooks.
Fnac is more reliable if it is marked "boitier metal". But the safest is to buy directly in the store, which does not help foreign collectors.

That said, we believe at 99% "Apocalypto" and "Passion of the Christ" will emerge only as steelbooks, at least at the beginning.

Problem is the same with "Green zone" which will be released on august 31st. Everywhere the pictures show a steelbook, but there's no more information (I've ordered mine from amazon.fr...)
 
Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto and "Indigènes" (can't remeber the english title for this one) won't be released as steelboks. Only plastic cases !
 
Bidou-would you mind sharing a link/source via PM to confirm this, so I can change the titles? Thanks! DB
 
Lol...
My source is that I searched out two FNAC stores, two Planet Saturn, one supermarket and one Virgin, and none of them had a single steelbook (only plastic cases). Each time, I asked some sellers about these titles, and none of them have heard about a steelbook release.

By the way, I will receive a package from Amazon.fr (today or tomorrow) with Apocalypto + The passion of the Christ (+ La Rafle)... I'm pretty sure it will be plastic cases :)()
 
Bidou-thanks for your note. Not trying to be a pain in the butt:) Since there is so much speculation with Steelbook releases, I asked because we want to have 100% confirmation before posting info in the forum. As Amazon.fr listed a SB pic, this thread was posted. As we all know, sometimes incorrect info appears at retailers or other websites, which then appears here, and it causes confusion and additional orders/returns for others:) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, as a regular trader from France. If you wouldn't mind letting me know if you in fact receive plastic cases from Amazon.fr, I will update this thread (Amazon still lists Steelbook pic, which is often unreliable). Then if anyone does pick up a Steelbook version of this, hopefully they let us know. Thanks for your help! DB
 
Hey Freedom-thanks for posting-I prefer to see one with feedback from a customer that received a SB-if you happen to see one, please post if you get a chance. Unfortunately people mis-list all kinds of things on Ebay. Thanks! DB
