I still don’t know what to think of these. Id have to see it in hand to make proper judgment. I do like the art tho. But still a tad annoyed it’s not a proper steel

I’m tempted as well, which is why I asked the question. I have the digibook with the same art, but… this intrigues me.

 

[RPedro]

Actually, I’d like to know this as well. Are they wider than a normal steel?

it has the exact same size.
here's a size comparison. tops and the side opposite the spine are open, like a book...

 

[Lenny Nero]

Really stupid having double covers - the booklet is hardcover already, and then there are these metal flaps - they seem extraneous.

That’s really helpful, @RPedro . Thanks!

In a plastic slipcase I might not mind so much that it’s always ‘open’… still undecided, but thanks.

Hopefully we'll get a proper steel with this art someday

UK Blu-ray is the re-issued with AVC instead of MPEG2, correct??

UK
StudioCanal releases from 2009 and 2015
Film Blu-ray Codec: was MPEG-4 AVC

UK
Paramount releases 2020 (20th Anniversary release) and re-release in 2023
Paramount UK done a re-release of the Blu-ray on February 27 2023 it's the same Blu-ray that was in 20th Anniversary release
Film Blu-ray Codec: is MPEG-2



Only the 4K UHD disc has the new 4K restoration

 

[Lord Vader]

Aye, my copy dispatched! Looking forward to giving the disc a spin next week and checking out the transfer. Got a couple of weeks off work so having a bit of a binge for all my recent pickups. If I can tear myself away from Starfield that is (can't stop playing!!)

 

[samdavies]

At least it's a different 1080p disc to the US though, as it doesn't have the DTS lossy audio.

New release and shi*ty transfer on BD so pathetic. Luckily UHD is superior in all aspects and only idi*t will use BD on release like that or one who doesn't own UHD player.

Amazon UK back available
Amazon product

I did have this on pre order but cancelled
The reason is I already have the 20th anniversary DigiBook release that has the exact same booklet you get in the Fabelo StoryBook

I went with the 4K+Blu-ray Amaray release instead as that is a lot cheaper in price
Amazon product
I will have delivery of that release on saturday or sunday

The 4K disc aspect ratio is 1.85:1 and picture quality reviews I seen says looks great
The Blu-ray is the existing 20th anniversary disc with aspect ratio 1.78:1

 

[samdavies]

Just in time. Ordered from amazon with their 25 day £5 code.
