For anybody interested Xtra-vision has the current best price - to my knowledge - of GBP 17.99 for this steelbook.

Use STEELBOOKTEN for 10% off

Cheers for that but unfortunately the code doesn't work for this when I tried it just now - possibly only for in-stock steelbooks ?

It works on Xtravision .ie

At Xtra-vision this is GBP 15.29 with Bank Holiday Code BH1515 good until the end of Monday the 31/8/15 for anyone interested.
I presume this code is also good for other pre-order steelbooks though I haven't checked.

Yep works on 'em all. I've ordered Jurassic World and Ted 2 with it

If steelbooks are the premium packaging for Blu-rays I'm surprised and shocked to see that this particular steelbook edition doesn't have a 3D disc which I've just seen is available in a plastic-cased edition ?
Not cool !!!

Steelbook collectors getting shafted over content again. ...but as you say a steelbook is simply packaging.

 

[virkia]

I'd say PREMIUM PACKAGING should go hand-in-hand with PREMIUM CONTENT.

That would be nice, but then you wouldn't have to buy both...

No 3D though

German Saturn Exclusive is the one to get. 3D and lenticular magnet.

That has always been a problem in the UK. Studios feel UK consumers don't want 3D. US studios think otherwise, as we most always get 3D discs in our steels. There will be a MetalPak for this film released at Best Buy here in the states.

Thanks for that but I don't buy steelbooks from The States (or from anywhere outside the U.K.) though I do import from the U.S. masses of regular Blu-rays of films not yet / unlikely to be / released here in the U.K.

At the risk of sounding like a stuck record I feel it's a very poor show not to include the best and latest content available in what is designed to be premium packaging (the steelbook or the future/metal/steel/pack) especially with a brand new film and when 3D is available.

I understand that the people behind this may expect enough of us to buy the steelbook for GBP 15 - 20 and also the 3D Amaray for a similar amount - making a combined purchase price of up to 40 quid - and then, what, switch the discs around to give the purchaser the best content in the best packaging !?
For between 30 - 40 quid I would hope so . . . LOL.

As we all know this is not the first time it has happened and I expect it won't be the last and I'll not be pre-ordering this (though was tempted a while back when it was a fair bit cheaper) until the price is adjusted to what I consider to be reasonable.

Well I'm going to be Controversial - I laughed all the way through this movie
Maybe it's my age but I thought it was great !

 

[Garion]

I also agree with virkia - Steelbooks should be a premium product.
I got into collecting because of a few releases that had all the extras, the dvd version, a UV code etc - I was happy to pay a good price for them too but some companies are taking the mickey treating them as an alternative packaging and just including a blu-ray movie

I really like that artwork. Nice and bright. Shame about the film though lol

I'd consider at a decent price
