Come on, @zerox39, let the dawgs out! Kidding, I know how it goes.....

Yes yes!!! Let them loose!!

800 of each title?? Keep checking in to this thread at least twice a day for any news on the titles to be released, then want to jump straight into the group buy on this- Got a feeling at least half of them are going to be titles I want, and don't want to miss out!!
The last Future Shop steel I wanted was the Cap America Winter Soldier to go with all my other Marvel steels (including the Thor 2/Avengers steels with titles on front and spine) I got my sister to get her Canadian friend to order it for me, but turns out either my sister was lying and didn't ask her, or her friend didn't order it. I payed over the odds for it on eBay, and needless to say I don't want a repeat performance!

All of them are live now

Well apart from Desperado it's a pass on all of them. Poor selection

 

[Ricker]

There are some weird titles in there. Tommy, really????

 

[Hella]

Solid selection, I see six movies I own in amarays that could use a steelbook upgrade, and a few more that could replace an existing steel if the art and finishes are great... fingers crossed this is at least a step up from the chintzy domestic Warner waves of the past.

Anyone else feel a bit underwhelmed with the choice of films on the list?? While I understand they'd never be able to release a list where every single film is wanted by everyone, surely they had more in their back catalogue than this??
For the record, I'm in for District 9, The Karate Kid & Leon. Just hope the artwork for all the films makes up for the disappointing list!

Seriously disappointed dude! Some great Sony films that don't have steels yet.

Do we have the pricing on these? Will they be around $15 like the last Paramount wave that came out?

Never know; they may get round to releasing a second wave down the line. Feel like it's a bit of a missed opportunity- You looking to pick up any of the releases??

 

[snooloui]

I think it's a solid list of titles, at least there are a good few that are new to Steelbook. I'm not sure I will go for any of these though. The obvious concern is quality, it will be interesting to see what Sony decide to do in regards to artwork and finishing.

 

[ocielz]

Desperado and Kung Fu Hustle for me

Might pick up Desperado depending on art/finish, passing on the rest though.

 

[MGD]

Desperado and Kung Fu Hustle for me

D9 and Snatch for me

 

[digitalbabe]

Thanks @zerox39

 

[charleybusko]

For Kung fu husle, maybe... but easy pass for the rest (depends on the artwork and price though)

 

[dfoles]

Snatch! Finally!

 

[mlmaier84]

Snatch! Finally!

I'll +1 the **** out of that!!!

 

[Drum18]

Great to know I won't have to spend too much... only Fifth Element for me. The rest, easy pass for ME.
Glad to see some new titles that have never been on Steelbook before! GJ Future Shop!

Now... the artworks....
