I'm still struggling to believe that this has sold out. That slapped together in Photoshop front 'artwork' is appalling.

Well, to be honest, there's not a single artwork on any steelbook that's not a bit photo shopped.
And I've actually seen artworks at least ten times worse that this.

But........it's so badly done! That picture of Ripley and Newt looks like it's been cut out of a magazine and stuck on with glue. Really distracting.

It really isn't.

Maybe that's done to reflect the technology of the time as photoshop and digital media didn't exist then!

Photoshop was initially developed in 1988, i.e., 28 years ago - not that far off from Aliens

 

[Lollard2002]

But I never saw Photoshop until the 90's. 1998 was the first time I saw it and even then it was 2002 before I first started using it in a working environment. At home I didn't get Photoshop until 2009 and it's scary to think that I now have a home studio that you could not have even dreamed off 10 years ago......... From Imagepro to Creative Cloud.... What a history.

Well, in 1990 Photoshop was exclusively available only for Macintosh computers. It was in 1992 that PS became available for Windows OS.

It was developed and tested in 1987 and in 1988 we received a first working Photoshop. It was called Imagepro until 1990 and it was a masterpiece of a program for its time.

Photoshop me out of your life...

Well I've been using Macs (and still use them) since the early 90's and as I said it was 2002 before I first started using photoshop.

Maybe you were late to the party

 

[Lollard2002]

No just where I live and I suspect where i live I was one of the early users. Now it's a different ball game but then where you lived really did determine how up to date you were on technology.

I like to keep this [steelbook] handy... for close encounters.

USA release the new extra on this release is a code to stream on fox-extras online it's not on the disc itself so it's most likely the same for the UK release a code to stream online and these have a limit of 10 times use

The Disc itself is same one as before

Paul, do you know why there's a 10-time limit?

 

[paulboland]

Paul, do you know why there's a 10-time limit?

Fox decision they have this with all streaming extras with the codes it's not a great idea IMO
Why they limit to 10 viewings I don't know it's a bit of a rip off be lot better if you could at least download it or add to a flixster library for unlimited viewing

 

[Starling]

Have to agree, bad artwork. Not only that, the colour strobing on the image put up is shocking.

However, if anyone watches a movie more than ten times you're missing out watching other movies. IMO.

There's always that one favorite movie that you love and watch at least 200 times.
