It says the second disc is a DVD in the description.........

My play.com version was only a one disc.

 

[denizen]

Don't own the UK one so I'm definitely up for this.

 

[lgans316]

Play.com had the extended cut disc in a separate disc and remember it was full gloss.

 

[Mickle_89]

Will this be similar or the same finish as the UK's Play edition? Or no-one knows yet I guess. Artwork is identical though, right?

 

[BluSteel2012]

Play.com had the extended cut disc in a separate disc and remember it was full gloss.

UK Play.com one was zero finish with spot glossed characters and title on the front....



Canadian one was full gloss

UK one was superb though....

What's the bet we'll see a FAC of this now it's been re-released

 

[Para]

Instant buy. I think the play.com Steel is now obsolete. Maybe.

 

[Dr. Demonic]

If the info at amazon.it can be trusted, it will have the same artwork as the UK steelbook from play.com.
BUT it will include the same disc that the German steelbook has. Same languages and unfortunately not the director's cut.
Great artwork, bad disc.........

Together with SALT - another recent announcement - of new old steelbooks this appears to be exactly the same as the previous release from 2012 - a Play.com exclusive in the U.K. (with the 2010 steelbook release of SALT being an HMV exclusive).
Both first class steelbooks even without 'bossing and both welcome releases for those not around at the time to pick them up and unsurprisingly both now long OOP.

(RE: HMV SALT - Bit of a golden period for U.K. steelbooks with the phasing out of the blue banner headers and printed backs on nearly all in favour of J-cards / O-rings for all the printed info that was previously printed on the steelbook backs with some very decent steelbooks around at the time including a few of my favourites - "Metropolis", "District 9" and "The Human Centipede").
Not forgetting that steelbooks in the U.K. started with a whimper and not with a bang with a grand total of something like 30 released in the 2 years 7 month period May 2008 - December 2010 just before SALT.

Quick unboxing reminder of the Play edition:-

I already have multiple editions of this movie so I'm not too phased out if the directors cut is not included but always wanted the Steelbook so I'm okay with it.

 

[Greyback]

I hope the Steelbook is identical to the Play one.

 

[Wreck]

Play steel is very nice. Wonder what finish on this will be.

 

[IRON MAN]

Price is €17.80 - OP updated.

 

[Apo]

released today, anyone received it?


edit: found this picture by a customer on amazon.it, hard to tell if it's like the canadian or the uk with the plastic

 

[gaeljet]

I'd like to know the finnish already, but I might have to wait untill I got my copy.

 

[AlienKing]

Doesnt look full gloss to me. Could be either matte or with spot gloss...

 

[blu-steel]

As long as her ass is glossy nothing else matters!!!
