If your in UK its cheaper to buy from WB store its £29.70 with code 15OFF

This was for those outside UK but I see there are even better offers out there

It's the Casino Royale with Cheese.

Interesting the experts over at bd forum have said the 4k disc is only slightly better than the blu ray disc and not worth the upgrade, thats saved me £30

Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace were both shot on 35 mm photochemical film and finished as a 2K Digital Intermediate

So Casino Royale 4K UHD release was always going to be just an upscale with HDR effect added

None of the Daniel Craig bond films are massive upgrades except maybe sky fall that I think was shot digitally and has fantastic colour rendition. They are all better than the blu rays but not reference material. Normally film shot transfers are greatly improved and I’m a big fan of film personally. Maybe the blu rays were quite good already Or maybe the HDR pass was a little light. Spectre is particularly flat. Also the cinematographer on skyfall did Bladerunner 2049 I think so it all adds up. I already have the (not complete) Daniel Craig collection so this isn’t for me as the steelbook doesn’t blow me away. I do like it though and the chip is nice.

Received shipping notice from Zavvi yesterday. They typically ship items early.

Shame it’s so dull and lifeless. They could have made the colours and shapes really pop. that chip would have been really cool double sided and not a pin. the best bond film deserves more.

The steelbook is let down by an awful finish. Was hoping for some spot gloss to make it pop like it shows on the mock up. It looks awful and lacklustre in hand. I thought these were supposed to be premium.

 

[tono06]

I was sure this was a glossy one too bad it’s all ready on my way…..it sucks.

 

[samdavies]

That's a bit naff. Printed slip rear and a dull steel finish. Glad I passed. The original glossy blu-ray steel is so much better.

One of my all time fav bonds, but the artwork is terrible. Most bond movies are...
Any of you peeps with fancy photoshop skills make a gorgeous concept for me to drool over?

 

[Retro Parrot]

It reminds me of an old safe with that round pin on the front As well.

You thought wrong. ToC has never been premium. Higher prices don't make a premium release.

Huh it really doesn't look great, does it? Considering cancelling my Amazon order now. After all I did finally track down a copy of the Zavvi steelbook only before this was announced.
