I'm a fan of the spine too... very unique! Plus, it's better than having 'Avengers Assemble' on there.

+1

It was either pictures or Avengers Assemble. I know which one I prefer.

I was close to doing the same thing. I love the Viva's but am gonna double dip and get the HMV one too. I think I'm the only person who actually likes the spine on the uk one.

I like it too and I am going to get the FS and this one

That is interesting, i can't seem to find if this is listed by Amazon or a 3rd party seller.

Oh, what this...Maybe a collector's box :movie:

Amazon.de has this one too...

Wondering the same.

This is hardly an 'Exclusive' then? Thought HMV were the only ones to have a Steelbook of this for the UK?

 

[Paulapips]

I preordered the amazon.de one....can't wait for this one

 

[snooloui]

So not only are HMV releasing mainly rubbish exclusives but the only good one is now not exclusive? Great.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

So,

1. Special Collector's Box
Or
2. HMV's listing is for a MetalBox and Amazon for the 2D steelbook
Or
3. HMV's Exclusive is not in fact

 

[Noodles]

My guess is it will probably be a totally different steelbook to HMV's (different artwork). Or at least, that's what I hope!

It was always too cheap to be any good. (Only one disc and no 3D). No effort at all put into it

I thought the 3D sucked on this like Thor and Captain America. This 3D gimmick is getting tiresome. I would prefer a set with bonus features as it at least gives a nice insight into the movie.

If you note it has the same ASIN # on both Amz.uk and Amz.de. Methinks tis a Marketplace seller trying to pull a fast one.

Agree big time.

 

[DominiCD]

Cancelled this edition for the french Auchan Exclusive Edition.
No 3D disk in the hmv edition.

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

Ordered this as well as the Amazon.de one.

 

[Pipper]

I've also ordered this and the German release, although I think I'll be cancelling the HMV one, it just seems boring compared to every other avengers steel that has more than one disc

The 3d isn't great on those movies because they were post production conversions.

True 3D, such as that seen in Avatar and Underworld: Awakening looks fabulous and really helps immerse you in the world of the movie.

Sadly there are lots of companies chipping in with cheap conversions, which spoils the rep of 3D a bit. Done properly, it looks terrific.

I'm generally not a big fan of 3D and the avengers was the first 3D film I watched at the cinema and you're right, it really didn't help 3D at all. The only time I got a sense of it was the black widow fight scene at the beginning. After that there was nothing
