question for those who opened this steelbook.

are there any glue or tape holding the card together?

i may have to open mine if there if there is anything like this.

Whoa whoa whoa I have a few sealed steels that have info cards glued to them, could something potentially happen if I dont remove them? I also have a couple opened steels that came with glue on the cards and once I watched them I stuck them right back on (I actually keep the info cards lol)

Could something happened to my steelbooks!?

Thanks

BTW I own this steel and it is a masterpiece. The movie is epic too!

There is a worry that over an extended period of time, the chemicals in the glue could discolor the finish on the steelbook....That's all.

That sounds like a big future problem if you ask me! Thanks for informing me, wow I guess I learn something new everyday....has anyone out there confirmed this? Sorry I'm kinda new so is their a dedicated thread around? I searched but came up blank....

Thanks again

There was glue on one of my other steelbooks. It wasn't discoloured. However, as the glue is raised, it dented in my steelbook because it was lying down, with items in top of it before I bought it.

Tape is also bad. The longer tape is in there, the more chance of peeling colour off the steelbook.

Glue and tape is bad. Slipcard is good.

Managed to pick this up on eBay last night for a fairly good price

hi guys im just wondering , ive got this myself , is this rare??? because i was in my local hmv saturday and there where 3 copys , drive steelbook £15 , i was going to buy them but had forgot my debit card abd only had £11 on me

 

[snooloui]

Sealed copies are currently going anywhere from £20 to £35. You probably should've gone back and grabbed them if they were mint.

ebay have a good few listed but from what I've seen you can't get a sealed one for under £20, I paid £24 for mine. If I saw them in HMV for £15 I'd snap them up!!!!

Back when I got mine I thought they were more on the rare side but as time went on I started seeing them around more than usual. They are definitely not scarce as I thought they were either. I think people spend good money on it because one it's such an awesome looking steel and two it's a stellar film!

 

[whysoserious?]

ill go back tomoz guys and get them

+1 But this is becoming rare...My advice to anyone is to pick up a copy before the prices go up

 

[Xsplicit]

The price on this is rising slowly but surely. If you can pick up a few copies for £15 you will definitely make yourself some money.

Please do not post any request to buy/sell/trade in the main steelbook threads. Use the appropriate forums which will be made available to those who qualify.

i'd like to buy one but on ebay the price rising up , it's difficult to find one under 40 euros

 

[Bluprint]

Finally it will be mine! (Thanks Richfell)

Just to let you guys and gals know, the BD in the Steelbook plays on my Region A Panasonic BD75 (along with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy). Place disc in tray wait til warning comes up on screen, press 1 then enter and hey presto it plays.

 

[lgans316]

Think you have a modded player to play all regions.

 

[Blu-devil]

No it's strictly Region A.it won't play fox Region B but it will play some Studio Canal and this title. If you visit here https://www.hidefninja.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32 you can see just how it's done.
