I think they should have had this green colour scheme on the Alien Anthology Play were selling.

Then I wouldn't be double dipping I'm also in for Aliens, don't much care for the other 2.

There probably will be a release again in the future, doubt it will be in the UK though

horrible!

I guess I'll be ebaying my copies when they arrive

REALLY?? I saw one going for around £20 including postage, Aliens fetched somehwhere similar, but come on it's not that bad is it? The back of it, okay fair enough, it's what we've come to expect from Germany. But i'm not a fan of data cards, this is the best alternative to leaving it blank.

Data sheets are the best and worst thing for steelbooks. They keep the text off the back but also hide dents. Not much of a problem when buying from retailers but a pain in the arse when buying from eBay sellers or group buys.

To me, the bad outweighs the good ( for the others from this wave too)

Pro:
Nice art
No Ratings logo
Clean spine
reasonable price

Neg:
Full 1080p logo on front
German Writing (this is minor considering it's a German release)
Printed back
Matt finish

I've no idea on inside art, but it wouldn't change my mind. I think I'm spoiled with all the FS, Play & HMV exclusives. I think this was a wasted opportunity tbh

 

[funkeule]

NO INSIDE ART ;-) Fox Germany still has to learn how to produce steelbooks correctly...

 

[Stash]

Pretty nice but I LOVE my digibook anthology.

 

[sunnyx]

Very disappointing. I hope play.com can release some soon to go with predator and Alien anthology.

Does anyone know if there's any plans for Alien 3?

 

[MakeMeHappy]

Alien 3 and 4 will be released with the second Fox steelbook wave at the end of this yeahr.

Alien 3 and 4 will be released with the second Fox steelbook wave at the end of this yeahr.

Cheers mate! The obsessive completist in me thanks you!

Alien 3 and 4 will be released with the second Fox steelbook wave at the end of this yeahr.

I hope so because 3 and 4 would complete the set. That would be awesome to have all four as separate Alien releases. I mean I have the Play Anthology but it wouldn't compare to four separate releases.

 

[FlawdaBoy]

Gotta wait till November now

I received mine today along with Aliens. It's not the greatest steelbook, I think they could've done a lot more with it and cleaned up the back a bit. But that said it's still a nice disc, and you're right - it's cool having the individual releases.

 

[Corvinus]

Very nice but the front panel. The printed page if you have an empty interior is not as promising ...

Thanks for the pics! I own the Alien Anthology already but still think it was worth buying this and Aliens. I was not dissapointed it is awesome! AVP was a huge dissapointment, it is just the amaray artwork. I bought the steelbook for the game instead it is much, much nicer here it is in the middle:

got my copy yesterday. underrated!! i think it looks great!!

Those FOX releases from Media Markt are really cheap. Hopefully I Robot and Titanic won't be affected.
