A Big Thank You to 20th Century Fox & Play.com (and lets not forget Wreck)

[Man of Steel]

Fellow HDNs it looks like our prayers have been answered thanks to Wreck and the HDN Community.

If you don't know already, which im sure you do... but 20th Century Fox have just released a wave of play.com exclusive steelies, but here's the catch they have listened to what the HDN community have been saying.

So what do we have?

Awesome Front Art - Check!
Clean Back Art - Check!
Inside Art - Check!
No Blu-Ray Banner - Check!
No printed age certification ratings - Check!
Limited print run (4000) - Check!
Great Price - Check! (as pointed out by zesty, seriously at £9.99 they're a bargain!)

The only thing that is uncertain is if these titles are going to be de/embossed or not, if they are then this would be by far the best wave ever - if it's not already! But being honest they've ticked so many boxes I wouldn't complain if they weren't.

And whats happening with play.com?

Well thanks to Wreck it looks like we're going to be getting packaging designed especially for steelbooks - so no more bubble wrapped envelopes anymore, and hopefully no more damaged steelbooks.

I thought I'd just create this thread so we can say a big Thank You to the people who have made this happen, and so that Wreck can pass this on to the relevant people to show our appreciation.

Cheers guys, I do love this community!

a big thanks to wreck for initiating the debate & his time and effort in seeing it through also to fox for listening to us the collectors & giving us what we want and finally play.com with their proposed new packaging,
drinks all round i think

if the wave does as well as we know it will perhaps fox will give us a second
which hopefully will include Independance day & the die hard series

Thank you to both Play.com and the HDN community.

Finally, our dreams are coming true. You all rock!

I second everything said in the OP... my only quam is that play.com does not ship worldwide!

¡Definitvo muchas gracias play y wreck!

I join the request to be able to pay with international credit cards (HMV UK does it), I have the way to send them to a UK address but if international delivery will be available too will be amazing!!

I couldnt do anything without the community, so big thanks to EVERYONE HERE and the fine folks at Play.com and a great studio like Fox.

Hopefully now this could be the start of some great steelbook getting released and at amazing low prices

Hope the finish quality doesn't depend on the low price.

There's loads more Fox titles that would make awesome steelbooks, hopefully this is a sign of things to come

Hey all-if you have other suggestions for Fox movies in Steelbooks, please do post them in the Steelbook Feedback forum, so members can vote on each title. Thanks!

I know what you mean but that's why we have this lovely forum and all the help from its friendly members arranging those GBs

 

[jbsolo]

I am actually very curious on how much was already pre-sold after today....just so we have a general idea which steelies will be sold out first...I am thinking Alien and Wolverine and Taken...

 

[classified01]

Much appreciated
