Looks like all Asian Avatar Steels the same.

this version seems very expensive compared to others.

I bet they will all be the same, just like Iron Man 2 with different slipcovers. Looks like there is a giant slip cover on this release.

You're wrong. The most expensive is Avatar Extended version Japan Steelbook.
That's Sold Out before release date

I'm confused why so many versions?

Yup. There are Korea, Taiwan, HK, Japan, China

i meant compared to korea and hong kong version etc the taiwan version at jsdvd is expensive its about £34 just for the steelbook before shipping and jsdvd shipping is expensive but also very good though.

If anyone ordered this particular edition from JSDVD have you received the order, or the prompt to pay the shipping charge? Thx

 

[lenochek04]

My order says released Dec 10th.

 

[digitalbabe]

Ah, ok-I think I misread initially, and thought it was released 11/16 in SB. Thanks Leno!

nice find guys

Received my copy from China and apparently the disc 2 is not working and case were dented and broken.
Called Amazon.cn and spoke to the CS, they mentioned can only replace the disc two and nothing can be done on the broken case.

Lesson learnt, never again order from Amazon.cn

It says region A on the back, but the discs all show region B for the Taiwan version.

Disc 1 A,B
Disc 2 A,B,C
Disc 3 A,B,C

I have not tested the discs, so I cannot confirm 100%.

 

[terry44]

Disc 1 tested and region A locked
the other discs played fine

Thanks Ash but I don't go for info based on websites because they are not entirely acurate these days. The asian avatar steelbooks look lovely. It's a matter of double dipping, buying the SB and a UK extended edition replacing the discs. Thats going to be about £65 over a $100. Lot of money

I agree, just a little FYI incase you dont know sunny. While not 100% up to date, the bluraysteelbooks.com list page has region info of which none of it based off of web pages etc. Its all on personal findings/testing of discs.
