£29.47?!?!?! They've got to be having a laugh!

 

[jackanape]

It's Amazon - I've no doubt it will drop in price before release and probably to lower than the Zavvi price too. I've no idea why they always start off so high though.......

Just dropped to 24.00 on amazon. With free shipping in the UK / VAT reduction overseas, lower than Zavvi's price.

Here's a thing, an official trailer for a steelbook! XD Includes back and sexy inside art as well.

Would be better to put the inside art on the outside..

 

[ihategiantspiders]

Stunning, definitely not gonna cancel now. I agree that the front should be displayed somewhere on the outside but overall this makes me happy.

I've never seen the 2.0 version, but I know the original pretty well. Does this youtube clip pretty much cement that the version that's gonna be released in the steelbook is gonna be the original, non-2.0 one?

Unless I'm mistaken (and admittedly I'm not an expert in the differences), that scene wasn't one that was altered:

But the artwork doesn't carry the "2.0" moniker anywhere, and the original announcement did claim the original.

I wasn't sure about the art, however, looking at that video I'm tempted now.

I picked up the Ninja Scroll and that's great. This and Akira me thinks!

Looks like there's no back art.

Looks like there's no back art.

There is, it's just faint.
It's the luminescent green "circuit" pattern seen at the end of the video.

Right, that's what I meant. Not quite without art, but not quite the back of Ninja Scroll either.

 

[richrebel]

I have just preordered it, I like how it looks though hopefully it will appear as nice in the flesh.

Another price drop on Amazon.
