I still think it might have to be a tiny bit thicker than a normal G2. Maybe only 1mm. Or, the swing tray will have to be razor thin, with very very shallow disc holders for all 4 discs.

I'm almost as interested to see the plastic interior as I am the steelbook itself.

Same here. What if they did a single disc on each side and two on the swing tray? It seems like that could fit.

That's how it's going to work according to Wreck. I'm guessing the disc on the left will be at the bottom of the case, and the one on the right will be near the top, with the tray mirroring that.

I cannot wait this is mine

A quadrilogy Steelbook for £19.99 and its Alien, so worth it!

Love the artwork! Now if I didn't have the box set.

I should be able to get these for the community later in the summer ... stay tuned!

Hello, Wreck,
I am a newbie and went over to Play.com to pre-order the Alien steelbook, but it seems they don't ship to U.S.
Is there anyway I can secure a copy here in the USA?
Thanks for your help.

Welcome wendigone. Simply get to 30 posts and you will have access to the group buy section of the forum. From there you'll have no problem securing a copy. I'm not sure if the GB is still open, but there are many great UK members that I'm sure will be willing to help you out if you ask nicely

Good luck

Anyone know if the front cover will be embossed?

I don't think they are going to be embossed but Wreck did mention the Fox wave is going to have the shiny 'bling' effect. Either way it's definitley worth getting a copy....or more!

Slim, fyi mine isn't anymore, except to those signed up for it, but believe Masterbaster's GB is.

Love the artwork! Now if I didn't have the box set.

I have 3 Quadrilogy Busts and an Alien Head to go with this set.

 

[jlettuce2002]

Love the cover and backing, and inside art. Rats, that they don't ship to the US. Need to get my post count up so I can access the GB for this and the Braveheart steelbook.

 

[digitalbabe]

Jlettuce, plenty of places to post on the site to make it happen. Hope you stay and become a 'regular'

Alien will be only BD discs

Are we getting some sort of hybrid double sided discs for this edition? The original post states this will be double play yet only houses in a standard G2 which should only be able to house 4 disc maximum. Can anyone update? Thanks.

I thought all titles from this wave are double-play except the Alien Anthology.

 

[Malky78]

^ yup

It's also been noted that this will be 4 disc, none of the extra discs from previous releases iirc

 

[ConanTheBavarian]

I really like the design, inside artwork is very nice, it sorta ties in with "Prometheus" cool.

 

[digitalbabe]

Hey DVD-yes,the initial info I received was the same for all releases where the Double Play notation was concerned. Alien was the exception. OP updated

 

[meaner]

[TheForsaken]

This is a must have. great artwork
