oOo I do hope this is a special release by Japan...given its background story

 

[xxquartzxx]

Have to agree this steelbook deserves special treatment

 

[thedonguillermo79]

I agree with. You guys. Samurai + Japan should = ridiculously sick release.

Is Japan trying to be the new Play.com or what's with the amount of steelbooks from there all of a sudden?

They did the same thing last year buddy. They released the Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Blade Runner, Inception, Seven, Matrix white releases and a couple other I believe I'm missing.

Whilst comparing this to my UK version, I noticed that my one has the Title Last Samurai on the spine. Seems they forgot the "The" from the title.

If this has different back artwork than the UK release it is a must have for me

I dont think the finish on these are as bad as the UK ones. Its certainly not the same finish as Dark Knight. Its more like the finish on the Korean Seven.

Heres some shots I tried to take at the same angle

Thanks mate. The difference in finish on this one looks more pronounced than the rest.

 

[TobinFrost]

The difference is obvious when even

The finishing on all of this wave smokes the U.K. counterparts.

They also look 110% better than with that stupid blu cardboard banner.

100% spot on chip. The hole uk wave sucked. Warner UK did them that cheaply it was even cardboard on the back. It was paper. And there's a lot of love over somewhere else, especially for Heat. I wished Japan released Heat. Well, there's hope for wave 3.

Out of interest, does anyone know if this should have the lossless track. I know it was on the korea amaray but did Japan ever have it?? The uk has dd5.1. The back of this steel only has the DD logo.

Ordered this for a real close friend, he should be very happy with the quality shown above!

ricster, can you grab a picture of the data card on the back? Maybe I can scrape something from that card on the audio for this. My copy is on the same ship as Dredd

Dolby Digital 5.1 - same audio mix as the UK and US discs.

Cheers. Someone over at bd said it had Dolby true this why he bought it. Said he hasn't tried the disc yet. I was fairly sure it was korea and maybe Poland or Czech that got the lossless track. Had a slight hope this would have it. Maybe it's a misprint on the card?? Doubt it though.
