Definitely be picking this up

Guess I'll be selling my German one like many others now then.

 

[zesty]

Looks like I was right. Every German Paramount steelbook re-released in the UK. I wouldn't mind of I hadn't spent a fortune importing the German ones.

Glad I stopped buying the German versions now just praying they start on the Pixar's next

You and me both... I'm praying for a pixar wave!!! It's bound to happen soon.

play.com is my new favorite retailer!

 

[Man of Steel]

And with this being a Paramount Studios steelbook you can bet your money that this will have clean front and back art! Just take a look at their latest wave on play.com.... Iron Man anyone, need i say more?

 

[Frasr]

I think im one of the minority who hasn't seen this film yet.. Now I finally have an excuse to buy it

 

[humperklonk]

yeah should be plain artwork on the back and no blue banner!!!! love play steelbooks, they really getting there now!

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

I got the german version and was dissapointed that the Sb actually was in silver and not white (just like the german star trek). Hopefully this will be better with no text on the back...

 

[sutti69]

AWESOME NEWS!

"And that's all I have to say about that"

 

[Wreck]

Should be some more popping up here soon

Watched this on Sky the other night

Spoiler

and OMG I end up in same old state EVERY time I watch this

Should be some more popping up here soon

Wonder if this will one of the "missing" SB's in Wave 2 of Paramount Centenary ??

I hope you're referring to the titles in the recent poll. If so its about time they announced a title that hasn't already been released. Hopefully it won't be the announcement of re-releases of War of the Worlds, Transformers films, Tropic Thunder, Eagle Eye, Disturbia and every other Paramount steelbook ever released.

Actually as long as eBayers keep buying up my soon to be inferior German versions for more than the cost of these, I don't mind. I really hope that these have the same type of design as recent Paramount UK releases i.e. title embossing, embossed border, clean front and back and inside art; as that would definitely make up for them being re-releases

As for this title, I wouldn't mind the same front cover as the German one (minus the german text of course) as long as this one is white and not silver.

 

[Wreck]

no, but I will make you an offer you cant refuse.

 

[karl01]

does that mean the godfather films are coming to steelbooks?

 

[Wreck]

It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

Now back to ....

John are the future Paramount's releases play.com exclusives or not ?

Thanks

 

[Wreck]

I do believe so, at least to UK ... and typically when they go for diff art other Countries dont copy as the studios tend to differ. Play is going out of there way always trying to suggest/obtain unique art so there is higher chance you wont see Play editions elsewhere in that regard.

 

[funkydamo]

im amazed by the turnaroubd from play.com this year. they are the uks leading steelbook source now, possibly the world!
so many top draw steels this year, its unreal.

heres hoping for anoter wave of fox titles to rival germany (kingdom of heaven, independence day and castaway please)

 

[SaberTooth]

might buy a copy for my mom
