Did play.com sell the company to Japanese investors??

 

[sunnyx]

I think Play are owned by Japan now.

 

[Munstarz40]

I'm starting to believe that now..

 

[chanfm]

Is Japan going to issue Iron Man (Play version) next? Jeezzzz....

 

[Lone Crusader]

That THING looks hideous, meaning the artwork. :eek: I still like the original artwork the best for The Thing.

2,682 JPY = 21.7294 GBP, that too prior to shipping.

No thanks.

 

[Colombianlove41]

I think Play are owned by Japan now.

Or maybe Play bought the land of Japan in a life game of risk...

 

[Konflick]

If japan exclusive is white steel and it is steelbook. Then i will buy this for sure

Order the UK one Rob and be done with it for £9.99 you can't go wrong

 

[Sigill]

So these play.com exclusives aren't really exclusive. It's a bit of a cop out really, what's the point in getting a limited edition steelbook when it's not limited? Makes you think twice about what is worth buying.

That's the first time I've seen a picture of it since I've been a member on here. I've never seen a copy for sale.

Does anyone actually own one?

 

[blumaster]

I had never seen one before. I also wasn't sure Amazon ever actually released it. Must be limited to like 50 copies.

 

[TobinFrost]

I've never seen the movie but in any case what is certain is that the Steelbook is really ugly.
