Sorry these are not for me so won't be opening - sure someone will oblige shortly

I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you took a photo or six!!

 

[snooloui]

Mine just arrived. The back is German Zombieland style and the inside does have artwork

Pictures to come shortly

 

[STEELBOOKJUNKIE]

So some people are still getting their orders early then? Come on then, someone open this beauty up!! Sorry for the bump!

This actually looks really good in my opinion, much better than I anticipated

 

[lgans316]

Yes, looks nice.

 

[dvdjunkie]

Love the artwork plus inside too! I'm still waiting for mine! :s

 

[DK06CTR]

That's very nice and hd audio I'm gunna reorder.

 

[SteelbookedUp]

Much better than expected.

Will have to get one.

 

[Blu Nick]

Cool . Glad to see there's inside artwork on this one as after the Hunger Games debacle I was fearing the worst.

Thanks for the pics

 

[JAMESTALKALOT]

I had this on pre-order for while. But the mixed reviews, talk of no proper HD sound and a steelbook that might fall short and a lot of movies out this week made me cancel at the last min. I must say this is so back on the menu. I'll price it in store and if it's not a HMV £25 rip-off I'll just get it on Monday.

Just hope I fall into the 'love this movie' camp after seeing it

 

[sanjeebdeb]

this looks great.... thanks for the pic but I cannot wait till I get mine and see for myself.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

Still waiting for mine. I hope it comes before I have to leave for work.

As you know, I cancelled mine for the exact same reasons. After seeing those pictures though, I'm very tempted to reorder it. The film was ok... I think I might actually enjoy it more a second time around.

Really nice steelbook anyway. Thanks for the pictures snoo!

 

[The Jericho]

Now when i saw the pictures i will order one because it looks really nice. Don't know why there weren't any pictures before from hmv.

 

[STEELBOOKJUNKIE]

Thanks snooloui, may well have to pick this up now! Love the effect of the trees behind, looks like a reflection

They never seem to market their steelbooks properly with back or inside art.

Think they are still a very poor company in all aspects for me.

 

[snooloui]

I agree. Play.com promote their Steelbooks with high quality mock-ups but HMV only give you a tiny little picture that you can only just about recognise. They would have sold a lot more of this had they advertised the back and inside art. That being said I can see this going OOS/OOP as it's a worldwide exclusive like for example Rampart and is a very nice looking Steelbook.

 

[cudzndrips]

I was about to try and remove those horrible black scuff marks on the right side with a rubber - had no idea it was part of the design!

 

[dvdjunkie]

sadness

Did any one elses arrive like this?

See back :tear:

How on earth can they get away with sending that!

 

[snooloui]

Unsealed with a couple of really nasty looking scratches on the back? No. Get your replacement sorted immediately, that is unacceptable.
