Terrible design. The first release is still the one to beat and remains one of the best Steelbooks ever released

Right back at you! Love your avatar by the way... it suits your name perfectly haha.

I've ordered this one along with Snatch and Taxi Driver... didn't realise until now that TD is the only one limited 1000 copies. :ohno:

Is there any information about inside artwork? IMHO first UK/DE steelbook release was much more interesting

oldboy · Nov 2, 2014

Didn't Zavvi release one already that had a wooden look to it with bullet holes on the front?

Pre-Ordered on release day :thumbs:

I already have the original release, but rather like this design.

Also went for Das Boot, Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider

p.s. Thanks for the code Noodles

Have this on normal Bluray so choose to upgrade to the steelbook which is the reason for me to have ordered this,is there any updates to the inside artwork...

which a@@hole thought putting half of the alien's head on the rear with an expanse of black nothingness next to it would be a good idea?!?!
the hmv edition pi@@es all over this one so i might cancel...........

Surely you seen the art first, before you placed the order?

fair comment!! to be honest, i haven't really paid much attention to the artwork on zavvi's site and based my order on the front artwork only.
i'll probably learn to forgive the rear artwork over time. it is only costing me £13.49 after all, plus this is DISTRICT 9!!!

Same here mate, i usually dont look at the full art before placing an order. I just see the title and hit the order button.

Decided to skip this one though as i have the HMV one.

hmv's version is still one of my all time favourite steelbooks and beats this one by miles!!

SteelbookGenius666 · Jan 6, 2015

Am I right in thinking that this wave does not have inside art? :dunno:

Sadly I remember buying the HMV steel on DVD as I was not into Blu ray at the time, still you live and learn....

@SteelbookGenius666 Well its the same artwork as the one released in the states, popart, and they had no inside artwork. The inside was just colored. I believe this one is colored black, Snatch is colored yellow and Drive is pink, for example.

i'll stick with my hmv and french steelbooks.......

Got this today, surprisingly nice in hand. Matte finish, no inside art. Shame it has a couple of light scuffs on the back, but not too bad. Think it's quite nice actually, prefer this to the HMV version, more simplistic
