It seems they really will release any old crap as a SteelBook these days! I remember a time when a SteelBook was PREMIUM packaging, but now it seems like the studios just use it to make their crap more desirable! It's the only way they can make collectors want to buy something like this...

And yet another December release! Zavvi are really pumping these out in order to secure those pre-Christmas sales!

Yeah, because zavvi are in charge of release dates. Nearly every summer movie ends up coming out before Christmas because it's a prime time for studios to make money, hardly a shock.
 
I have no problem with most new releases getting a Steelbook release (Unless it was meant to be part of collection, I'm looking at you Planes) It's not like they are asking you to double dip, here you have the choice to either pass, get the amaray or get this. As for me it's a Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! and another!

Most of the other catchphrases had already been used. lol
 
AP cracks me up :hilarious: I can handle not having the steelbook though, will most likely opt for the normal version. Nice to have the choice though :)

He's got a foot like a traction engine!

I love this film. I understand it's not for everyone but I'll definitely be getting this.
 
Annoying that almost every film that comes out nowadays ends up in steelbook form but I'm glad more are also becoming readily available and not all Zavvi exclusive, makes me more willing to hold off getting it on release as less likely to go OOP straight away. Hopefully price on a lot of these will go down eventually like many of the Universal steels?
 
Knowing me, Steeler, knowing you, random customer representative of The Hut Group subsidiary company Zavvi - aha!

Will this be remembered as the steelbook that captured the essence of Norfolk? Only time - and possibly half a dozen rabid ebay scalpers - will tell.

I think that's all the Alan Partridge quotes pretty much used up now!:p

Slight problem.....I was a bit bored so I dismantled my Corby trouser press...I er...cant put it back together again. Will that show up n my bill?

If the steelbook fails to sell out will it go into the sales or will they all just get pulped? :hilarious:
 
Needless to say I had the last laugh.
