Why this cover image? I thought people liked the other one?... Damn it.

This cover was used because of;

1. It was the most voted.
2. It is the main cover art used for goldeneye, ala Nintendo 64.
3. Everyone wanted the Gold Spine on this cover.

I would have liked the gold spine, but I think this art is more "limited" release while the other one was more "part of a collection" release. Being that there is no "steelbook collection" to match it with (bestbuy doesn't count). I think this was the obvious choice.

Anyone know if this release will be region B locked?

Maybe it's just me showing my age, but I like the old Bond posters, I like a poster where a lot is going on.

Don't like these modern day posters/Blu Ray artwork, where it's just the main character, and a bland background, for example the Bourne posters, not too bad, just not very exciting.

Imagine a steelbook with this on it:

EDIT----

Ah, I've done it again, I don't want to directly take the site owners image, I just want to link to it, could someone fix it please? I don't know what I'm doing.

Play are now showing the inside art. It's a big picture of The Bronhomme with a gun. Try not to die of shock or anything.

Also, did it always say 2 disc? I didn't notice that before. I wonder if they're including the 2nd disc of extras from the DVD release, or if it's a DVD/Digital copy?

If they're releasing the extras discs with the individual releases, the people buying the Bond box set (still me at the moment) will be rather annoyed.

Inside art.

 

[Sigill]

I think that inside artwork looks good, this is gonna ba a nice Steelbook!

 

[Sir Hilary Bray]

I still can't believe Goldeneye is one of the most popular Bonds, I like the film, but I thought something like Goldfinger or The Spy Who Loved Me would walk it.

Play have changed the listing to show this as being a 2 Bluray Disc release, for the same price:

http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/35739618/0/James-Bond-GoldenEye/ListingDetails.html

A welcome move for Bond fans i'm sure, but i wonder why Play could not of done the same for their more exciting & popular exclusives, such as Transformers, Iron Man 1, 2, and Watchmen

Spoiler

...anyway if you will excuse me, i need to continue tracking down the missing bonus discs from the above releases separately on ebay. Hopefully there wont be too many other completionists bidding up the price

I wonder what the second disc will be? A DVD or digital copy perhaps.

^^^ I think its a bonus bluray disc because if it was a dvd they normally market it as a "Double Play" Steelbook and mention dvd in the listing's title info.

 

[leelee17]

not a fan, but i have to say, not a good steelbook!!

I hope so but I can't imagine what can be on it. They can fit the film and the extras on one Blu-ray if they really wanted to. I guess it depends how many of the extras are in high definition though.

I am a fan, get what you're saying, but I think it's alright. Grown on me actually, the more I've seen it. I didn't like it at all when I saw it, but I ordered it as soon as it was available.

Good news that it's a 2 disc.

Think this will easily sell out.

The Goldeneye disc has the following (from the blu ray box set spec)

Commentary with Director Martin Campbell and Producer Michael G. Wilson

o 8 Featurettes

o Deleted scenes

o GoldenEye Music Video performed by Tina Turner

Thanks for that Ashcroft, If it is the same as that then I still don't see why that can't go on 1 disc. My guess is the second disc will either contain the bonus features you mentioned or will be a DVD copy of the film.

 

[Nedan]

Think I need to pre-order this as well...
Gonna be a expensive these coming months!

 

[SteelbookedUp]

Think the extra disc will be the DVD copy.
