I'm wondering whether this or the other IM3 steel book will better match with HMV IM1 and Korean IM2 steelbook. Any Suggestion? HELP

I've got both what you (IM1 Play + IM2 KO) have...And also I have the DE IM1 and IM2, so I'm just adding the 3rd with the different artwork and the price is great :LOL:

Saying that, the artwork on the other IM3s may match up better with the other IM releases? Anyways, I don't think anyone is going to miss out as this is a global release with zillions produced EEK!
 
HMV Iron Man 1????? You mean Play.com's? Anyway, Zavvi's would be the best to match those two as that release will be embossed also and have clean back artwork.

Because it's different from (so far) every other IM3 release of which the artwork has been revealed. If front and back on SBs didn't matter, we wouldn't be in this game.

Do you even know what the BACK artwork looks like for the EVERY other IM3 release?

Studios are more likely to change the front artwork than the back on different releases.

As every other release is the same front except Germany it's a pretty safe assumption to expect all releases with the arc reactor to have the same back.
 
Does anyone know if the Spine will stay like that (reading from bottom to top)? Other German Steelbooks I have picked up over the years all read from top to bottom. Any thoughts? Thanks!

It depends on the distributor, i don't own any of the German IM steels however i have Shutter Island and that is distributed by Concorde (like IM3) and the spine reads bottom to top, so i guess it will stay that way...

Decided to go for this version in the end only because its a different (and better) artwork than the rest of the worlds releases. Can't wait now!!!

Don't think this is the best choice personally myself. There's a good chance it will have a printed back. And the other release has the same art as this but on the back cover. Also the other release will be embossed.

Yeah, as the other releases are leaning towards being all the same artwork, makes this different (and better IMO). Downside would be the finishing and release date. Pricewise, a :thumbs:
 
CATGIRL of bluray-disc.de got answer of Concorde Home Entertainment
if the banner will be printed or not...

Shortened response:
"Because the first two releases also had the blue banner so it will be printed"
Too bad... prefer new release without it but it will nicely fit with the other 2:
