Big fight scenes = always a winner.

Anyone that likes the whole Troy story should read Glyn Iliffe, fantastic books :) It always makes me want to re-watch the film :)
 
I have the Canadian version too so I'm really wanting to see if this artwork is any different than it. If so I may be very tempted to get it as this is my favorite movie of all time. :oohyeah:
 
Inside artwork

I'd love it to have inside artwork similar to this.

What do you think?

The front could have a similar gold theme - a bit like the HMV Devil's Double steel but with actual inside artwork! Lol. :hilarious:

first time ever on bluray steelbook in the UK. not a re-release.

like most people say, some people are not fortunate enough to order overseas. it is a welcome edition for people who buy from UK only.

very selfish for people who own other region versions to say it is a waste.

Did you copy and past this from the last thread someone dare mention the words 're-release'? :rolleyes:

You say it's selfish for Steelbook collectors to say it's waste, well I say it's selfish and lazy for someone to wish every Steelbook ever released be re-released in the UK or any other country for that matter. The majority of Steelbook collectors import, it's only a select few who don't (typically new collectors). It's so easy to import that there's no excuse not to. It's easy to get a region free player so that's not a problem either.

Personally, I've only been collecting a couple of years but I went back and collected ones I missed out on. Re-releases annoy long term collectors because they take the fun out of it. Where's the fun in collecting if everything is available at the click of a mouse? There's also the fact that collectors spend thousands of £s and $s collecting, buying OOP items, rare items, joining group buys etc. in the hope of having something unique (which for me is one of the main draws. I like the thought that I have something not many others have) only for studios to ruin that for us by chasing new customers.

im totally with you on that one my friend , plays steelbooks are getting very dissapointing now , there where some very good poll ideas for future steelbooks some months back here on the forum , i even mentioned the great escape being one myself , maybe if play are going to bring out all these they should do what they did with iron man and limit to so many , like 4.000 copys. the 1st wave they brought where interesting , like man on fire , preditor and taken, but the taken the fun out of it now.
we need classics like the warriors , the great escape , unforgiven , italian job
come on play sort yourselves out
we need to start doing some kind of polls to let play know what kind we looking for.

Worth noting mate that the releases announced today are not Play exclusives and will be released everywhere, so can't blame them for this.
