Looks exactly like a stickerbook on the pics, even down to the front pic doesent align on all 4 edges, bigger gap on one side to the other. Im sure this will not be printed unless they make a u turn near release as that pic above is a sticker. And has said above they say its printed, yeah printed sticker.

I'll report back here if we can get an official answer, but my advice is to wait if you are not OK with a stickerbook.

I would put my order in on the release day, or after release day once we have confirmation from someone that's got it from amazon.fr or a store.

sound steelbook for me on a stickerbook layout.

what do you think?

 

[Vaako]

stickerbook or not it does look cheap so i'm glad i cancelled my order

 

[axcraig]

Really bizarre. But judging from the pix it's a stickerbook to me.(the borders show clearly bare metal).
Anyway, as the infos are printed on the back instead of an artwork, it's still a big disappointment.
If you guys have any doubt, you can wait...it's a wide release, so the risk of seeing it going OOP is zero.

 

[fariz]

dunno about stickerbook that OOP, but the possibility of wide release going OOP, for me, is never zero

i dunno in france, but in UK, that happens, aite? Scott Pilgrim, Psycho, Kick Ass, Paul.
please do correct me if i'm wrong

 

[grospaquet31]

technically it's a steelbook. ok they could have all printed, even in white like the main pic on the thread.
so like the pink title for the UK, people will like or not.

I agree for the UK steelbooks you listed. But the difference is Drive doesn't exist in Amaray version at the moment...

look at the lettering behind the silver background in the back top of the cover. That is no sticker.
look at the top right corner...it blends in with the silver border too well

my conclusion is this is NOT a stickerbook with the fact of the inside artwork. (which is a beauty by the way).

anyhow, it is what it is...buy it if you like it...skip if you hate it

If the HMV does not have inside artwork, then I'm buying this one...love the front and inside artwork. Also...3 discs are always yummy in my collection world.

what do you think?

sticker book is like adele blanc sec or Source Code. the art did not printed on the steel, but they print it on a sticker and stick it in the steel.

for me, it's whole different game.
in time, the color maybe will diminished or saturated
or the edge could peel

what about language and/or subtitle?
is there any french blus that has mandatory french subs when the audio is not french?

 

[Rockafella]

My days of being disappointed with stickerbooks is over after 'The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec', and the 'Source Code'. Geeeezzz!!!!! enough is enough

I will go for the UK 'pink' one if that is indeed a steelbook thank you very much lol ..........

That's true, the border is printed on. BUT, the same thing happened with Walkyrie and that's a sticker. Note that the blu-ray banner is printed on.

See the picture below.

You gotta trust us veterans guys.

The back and forth isn't going to help anything, so if you are unsure and are still skeptical that it's printed, you should wait until release day to place your order.

Wouldn't you be MORE upset if you got a sticker (especially paying that higher price), if you only wanted printed art?

If you don't care, go ahead and order away.

 

[apsmith21]

is there any french blus that has mandatory french subs when the audio is not french?

Yes, anything that I've seen done in steelbook by TF1 has forced subs when the audio is English.

Not all french discs by French Studios are this way, however.

 

[fariz]

sadly, the UK version is gone
some people, me includes, can't see 'em on hmv sites

If you look at this photo, in the reflection from the camera flash, you can see that the material looks kind of like plastic and not metal. Speculative, but something I noticed.

 

[Wreck]

I'll find out for sure, just give me some time ... hopefully I get the answer before I head off to Vegas ... otherwise, well .... you've seen the Hangover

;p otherwise I'll answer once I check in my hotel etc.

Looks like a sticker to me-a faint edge on the right side is visible-looks like it's 'raised', which could imply it's a sticker....

 

[DK06CTR]

as i pointed out earlier this has to be a sticker, look at the pic above the edges dont match up the left hand side is closer to the edge than the right, just like source code. and it has a bare metal edge just like source code. but yes the blu banner is printed

As long as it's not like the Hangover 2.
