Been really busy at work so haven't had a chance to look at the steelbooks properly still. Will have to tomorrow though...only 20 in-stock in our store to start with, can't wait to get it next week!


Its good that HMV staff are being kept busy. I would miss actually going to a store, finding a mint steelbook and taking it home that day.
When i pre-ordered this last weekend, I was told that there were at least 65 pre-orders already! Its nice to know the good people of Manchester have good taste!!

Yeah I was the only pre-order for this last I checked! I guess Manchester is a very big city but still...
 
Just received it. Really dull blurry artwork on a boring matte finish. It does not even have embossing or debossing. This is my most disappointing steelbook of the year so far.
 
The artwork is terrible on this but I'm in a catch 22 of wanting the film but not wanting an amaray. Might pick it up in HMV at some point.
 
I love the overall exterior design on this one, but the artwork isn't very sharp which lets it down quite a bit. Interior would have been better with an image of the characters too imo.

Standard Sony matte finish. I'm not too fussed - what's most important is the artwork itself, which I think is one of the best this year so far.

Picking mine up on Monday, stashed myself the best-looking copy (slightly bolder colours, straight spine etc).

Seriously? The best artwork this year? :confused::confused:If you've got a fetish for water maybe!

The Corpse Bride design destroys this and I don't even rate that!

I'd have to say the choice of art is disappointing to say the least. Easily the weakest main stream-movie Steelbook so far this year.
