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!

Completely agreed with you, but to be honest I can say they are perfect if they are region free since it's fox release sometimes have region lock, so everybody around the world who doesn't have all region player can enjoy the movies as well instead of the steel, imo 8 titles release are great movies

 

[SlimJim24]

100% agree with elena. They need to be region free.

 

[manutd123]

Yeah big thanks to all.

20th Century Fox, this is how to do steels.......!!!!!

 

[MrSharky]

Just need a bit of embossing/debossing on there... and the job's a good 'un.

Seriously though, thanks to HDN (and Wreck in particular, it seems) for the input and feedback which they seem to be listening to.

 

[danman227460]

now if only Play.com started to ship overseas then that would be great. Other than that, good job to everyone here for getting Fox to make SB.

 

[Sirjump]

Go Wreck and Play =)

 

[Hidef4Me]

Great news indeed! Hope I can get my hands on some of these!

 

[Man of Steel]

Ordered 5 of these babies!

Alien, Man on Fire, Taken, Fight Club and Predator!

Will probably order Braveheart and The A-Team too.

btw I just wanted to say Thanks to everyone for the great response.... It just goes to show what we really want in our steelbooks.

Well done Play.com for working with Fox to bring out such a strong wave of steels. A huge thanks to Wreck for the part he has played and all the HDN team for the fantastic job they do making sure we get the news before anyone else.

I'm off to sell my kids' DS tomorrow so that I can fund this habit for the next month!!

Happy times!

 

[Wreck]

I already turned in most of my regular amarays of these to make way and get some extra gift card money for more stuff

ps. BRAVEHEART IS A MUST!

Well, at these low prices, they are all a must

I'm certain you're going to have all these in your collection, probably more than once.

I hear you played a big part in Man On Fire being picked for the steel treatment so another huge thanks for that too Wreck!

 

[Wreck]

w00t!! Hopefully that blue war paint scene in the inside (Braveheart) had a little bit of my doing too
