It's now a Warner release no longer paramount its region free
Not that would bother me as I have both a seperate region A and region B blu ray player so I'm always covered to play when region locked
If your into extras as a reason to decide note the USA release has much better extras
Personally myself what extras you get in different releases always will go for best extras after best picture quality and also been a Steelbook even better
If your not into extras I can understand but with me it's always the extras that count
I've got some blu rays were the extras are better than the film itself
So each person is different of course and what makes them happy what counts

If you look at the spine it has a WB logo and a Paramount logo. Never really saw that before..although I am new to the steel game so this may be standard.

If its region locked I'm covered with my players but of course if it is locked that could rule out some customers outside of USA I have it on order and when I get delivery will let you know if its region free
The difference in extras between USA to uk is big difference USA has better extras
USA has longer making of documentary

Love this f@#king film! Whats up with that huge black paint between Mel's head and the blu banner.

So I just got this steel and I'm just curious on how many people ever got a steel with misprint on the spine? Would you keep it or get a replacement? This is what I got.

Wow!!! This isjust not upside down... It's really a misprint! That's a keeper!

 

[Bob512]

Do misprints become more valuable? Or does it depend on the collector?

 

[Wreck]

there are RARELY any misprints ... so thats awesome.

If you dont want it.. id happily buy it lol.

keeper tho .... lucky dawg you.

 

[lgans316]

Paramount release is a tad better in PQ over the Fox release due to slightly better compression and better retention of film grain

Yeah, I just love the Paramount Sapphire series... so beautiful! I will be keeping it along with this steelbook.

 

[funkydamo]

thats a wierd spine! i just ordered up a copy off amazon, down to $12 odd, worth a go at that price. will compliment the play.com steel nicely.

[mr blue]

personally would have prefered something like this to the play cover as that's terrible, cracking film crap cover art

Sorry . Typo. Copied and pasted from the black swan one

 

[Jnavotheman]

No interior artwork is such a waste of a steelbook, it's like cereal without milk. Can't do it

 

[Real Steel]

Mel Gibson's face, Mel Gibson's face. Nothing else. Haha, pass.

.

Seeing as you didn't return to the thread as promised to confirm or refute your earlier assertion that this will be region free as it's a Warners distribution - it isn't.
This is Region A Locked on both discs.

As in 99.9 % of all steelbook releases that are catalogue titles , they are only looking for a new marketing gimmick to shift the huge pile of already printed discs they have stacked up in their warehouses. The discs in this set are the original Paramount Region Locked discs.

Worth noting for those in Europe thinking of getting this set who don't have a multi-region or Region A and Region B set Blu-ray player.
