Hi fellow ninjas!
Many of our members have approached me publicly and privately about the potential of HiDefNinja.com getting it's own steelbook run.
Even though we have some great contacts with retailers across the globe and of course direct contacts with the marketing firm behind steelbooks, Scanavo, it has been maintained through a number of communications that we need studio support for any release.
I believe part of the success of the play.com releases has indeed been our membership here, in the fact that you all value a limited release with quality artwork (and thank you, as always to play.com for listening to the collectors on this forum).
I thought this might be a good opportunity to have our members voice their support of a potential limited minimum print run of a steelbook, up to 4,000 copies.
I think one studio with very good potential would be Warner Brothers USA - given their support of the steelbook packaging in the USA and their partnership with Best Buy USA in the past.
Our contacts at Warner have asked us to wait until things calm down after the new year to begin discussing this again. However, in advance of that discussion, I would like any member here to vote their support for a HDN limited run.
Note that HiDefNinja would like to publish a quality release...and we agree with you - a matte steelbook with no inside art...it's cheap and not representative of our favorite premium packaging.
Here is an excerpt of the original message sent to Warner Brothers in regards to catalog releases earlier this year.
This effort impacts all HiDefNinja members - so if you are a member from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, China, Canada, or any other locale that frequently visits this forum...let your voice be heard as well.
Finally, feel free to reply to this thread, and vote your support for this effort.
If you would purchase a limited edition blu-ray catalog release from Warner Brothers in steelbook, please THANK THIS POST.
Thank you and best wishes to all during this holiday season!
