Still haven't had a chance to watch this, so hopefully Region A compatible.

Release date of October 17, 2011.

Raj-unfortunately those discussions can be very speculative. Sometimes Steelbooks that are released worldwide don't become as sought after, than those only released in one country. Sometimes, they do, if they have unique art, are embossed, have inside art, etc. In this case, it looks like every country will have the same cover. Sometimes Steelbooks sell out, then come back into stock...We'll have to wait and see with this one...

Hmm, thanks DigitalBabe!

I too haven't seen this movie. Part of me is scared to buy it and end up hating it... the other part of me is scared to pass on this Steelbook, only to somehow love the film later on and regret not having it.

Decisions... decisions... decisions...

Assassin-you could always rent it first-since this is getting released in multiple countries, you'll likely be able to pick it up later...just a thought...

Very true...since it's now not only going to be released in the UK and CA, I'm going to reduce my order with HMV down to one.

That is a great idea. With Redbox having a BR rental for 2 bucks, that would be the best way to decide what to do.

New Artwork

 

[darczap]

I like the new art.

 

[digitalbabe]

Hmmm,I wonder if the art on all will change...best Best Buy's still has old art,and is being released very soon (Unless this was a last minute change after their flyer was printed).

 

[RobertJoseph17]

Yeah, I like this art better too. Gotta check out Best Buy's cover art before I have any final decisions.

Right now the plan is to cancel the HMV order and wait til next week to decide what to do. If, somehow, the HMV version is embossed I'll definitely pick that one up.

 

[darczap]

If this is the only distinct art from the other world wide releases, this may be a keeper.

 

[digitalbabe]

I agree, Darc, we'll have to see...

 

[ftwjedi]

First, I see that Best Buy will carry the GL Steelbook...

then, I cancel my HMV order...

then, I realize BB might be G1 compared to HMVs G2...

then, new cover art for the HMV Steelbook is shown...

now, my head just exploded! lol

 

[spawnshop]

I like this simplified artwork better.

yep! this kinda sucks! I love the UK Version now more!

 

[tono06]

yep! this kinda sucks! I love the UK Version now more!

even if the BB comes to G2, the UK one will have an unique art compared to the rest...i'll stick with the UK and for less than 20 pounds, i think i can live with that

 

[MakeMeHappy]

The new cover artwork sucks. I liked the old one much more

I like the new artwork, personally. Wasn't really feeling Ryan Reynold strewn all over the front. To each their own, of course.

I'm still going to check out the Best Buy version before I re-order the HMV one though.

I woulda preferred only the symbol on the cover....no lettering.
