Chinatown (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
I agree... I would have LOVED to have gotten this steelbook but, as a U.S. citizen, couldn't get it without a GB
I can't view the above post for some reason but presume it's a pic of the steelbook that arrived today ?
Anyway, my copy arrived today and it's a nice one for the collection although I don't honestly know how wise it is to be pre-ordering these steels at full price if they are going to be reduced shortly afterwards like the STAR TREK 1 - 10 film collection.
Got to report improved steelbook packaging from Zoom - steelbook still in a padded envelope but padded envelope is now inside wraparound cardboard and not thin cardboard envelope

Looks good
I might get this in next few weeks now that Zoom provide international shipping
The only letdown of the Paramount UK Blu-ray is no extras the USA Warner Blu-ray Steelbook has fantastic extras
I have the USA steelbook but the UK one does look lot better in terms of the steelbook itself beside the UK Disc lacking the extras
Hopefully this one works...I can't view the above post for some reason but presume it's a pic of the steelbook that arrived today ?

My photos really don't do it justice to be honest... it looks nicer in hand. The yellow parts are what I'm assuming is zero finish (it looks/feels semi-glossed to me), whilst the rest is spot glossed.
I'm very happy to own it and look forward to checking the film out for the first time.
Nice, I'll hopefully pick this up when my wallet has time to breathe

You will not be sorry. It's a hell of a good film.
The card is pretty thin/flimsy compared to what we're used to when it comes to full slips... I'd say it's more like the stuff they use for j-cards, rather than the thick card our friends overseas use for premium editions.
It's still a nice thing to have though... I look at them as being a free extra, since the prices are mostly the same as what they'd charge for a steelbook alone anyway.
Is the thickness of the slip the same/very similar to Zavvi's Top Gun or Ferris Bueller's, etc.?
Thank you. I have a strong feeling the same company is making these slips for both Zoom and Zavvi
The company that makes the slips is for the distributor Universal PicturesThank you. I have a strong feeling the same company is making these slips for both Zoom and Zavvi
Zavvi or Zoom they are just online retailers they don't do any artwork design of the steelbook or slipcase
Paramount Home Entertainment releases are distributed by Universal Pictures in Europe and provide these Paramount and Universal Steelbook Slipcase releases to Zavvi or Zoom

I have just noticed so far these Steelbook Slipcase Releases
Paramount Film Steelbook releases are embossed and spot gloss finish
Universal Film Steelbook releases are not embossed and matte finish

I know, Paul. I said that it's probably the same company that manufactures slip paper covers. I know Zoom and Zavvi don't manufacture steelbooks nor their slip covers.
A bunch catalogue Steelbook releases are no longer Zoom exclusives
Zoom have hit the UK steelbook market hard, with a load of very nice exclusive releases, covering both new movies and old.
Now, the catalogue titles are no longer to be exclusives, which will be welcome to those who live outside the UK, beyond Zoom’s delivery area.
Zavvi are making all of these titles available to order on Saturday at 6pm UK time
They will be going live as ‘in stock’, with shipping expected to the begin by the middle of next week.
