First avengers now hunger games, hmv starting to become the futureshop of the UK

 

[karl01]

one word **** i have joined a group buy for this for the futureshop edition

 

[amen]

HMV = big titles. good to see UK representing again

 

[kevintj]

I still prefer the Canadian version without the rating logo's on the bottom

 

[amen]

The new releases im sure wont have these logos on the steels

one word **** i have joined a group buy for this for the futureshop edition

From what I've seen so far this year, with so many great releases, I have a lot more faith in the UK SB market, so I hold off a little longer now before I commit to getting anything from overseas.

However, if it's a movie you really like, there's really no harm in owning two versions IMO, hence why I have 3 versions of Avengers coming although from your comments I'm assuming this is exactly the same as the FS version right?

Isn't the cover pic on FS Exclusive bigger? If I remember correctly it is, I still prefer that one.

Otherwise, I'm also sure those rating logos won't appear on the steelbook itself. Probably only on the slip. It seems to be the case with most recent UK editions

 

[Man of Steel]

I'm pretty sure those ratings will be stickers.... HMV have really clamped down on printed rating lately.

 

[kevintj]

They were stickers on the Mission Impossible UK I just bought. Looks much cleaner without them

 

[Uraki]

Believe Lionsgate are the distributors to this movie in the UK.
Their last steelbook Hurtlocker was pretty good with ratings printed on a card.
So this one could be the same

Hmm... if the mocking jay art is being released in other countries then perhaps I should have pre-ordered the District 12 version from FS instead.

 

[Noodles]

Is this movie any good? I mean, will an action movie nut like myself enjoy it?

So far I've seen no one but my female friends obsess over it, which put me off even giving it a chance, because they're the type who also obsessed over Harry Potter and Twilight, which really aren't my sort of films lol.

 

[Konflick]

I will wait for this and from now on before i join GB i will wait first. Defenitely i will join GB if the steelbook is disney cause i like FS exclusive to release disney films. Thanks for this

Just had a look at the District 12 version, can't really decide which one I prefer? It would be awesome if Amazon/PLAY etc. announced they were doing this version, but I know it's unlikely!

Would be nice to have play.com do a District 12 SB and HMV Mockingjay SB Exclusive. Somehow I cannot see that happening.

Excellent news!

Amazon UK state home entertainment release will be "the unseen version" and it has 15 cert logos on the artwork so all should be OK for this release.

Also FYI Sainsbury's are going to have an exclusive 3-disc non SB edition pre-orderable from tomorrow.

If it is released by Lionsgate then it will be Region B locked
