Kingsman: The Secret Service (Blu-ray SteelBook) (HMV Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter Norwichlad
- Start date
Yeah, and ML needs to revisit their written agreement, if they are unclear about HMV's offering.
Same Forrest Gump Play.com Steel I believe was released by HDZeta and is being released by Blufans and FA. In those threads, there won't be such controversies.
It depends. Some studios are primarily against it as it adds in another layer of cost. Why? Because some studios have their own designers, creative divisions on payroll. So you can imagine the many things that then go on with that. Why are we paying for ours if we can go outside? Which really just usually equates to why even pay outside when we have our own in-house. And then those feeling slighted if you do etc. Over the years there has been a ton of cutbacks in studio staff tho esp in home media.
Studio design team, Manufacturer design team and even occasional input from the retailer . . . surprised with so many cooks in the kitchen they are able to produce so many excellent dishes (lol)
Anyway, there's always these two interesting Zavvi articles from a few years back that someone may not have read yet explaining the process of getting the steelbook designed, manufactured and put on sale:-

But yea, i understand. I just wish it was easier so we can get some real art pieces on these fine metals!
Seems that the Manta Lab buyers need not get annoyed by this release . . . although the non-Manta Lab buyers (like me) may be (lol).
Apart from the obvious differences of no slips, lenticulars etc. it's reported that the finish will be different too . . . as in not embossed or even full gloss like the Manta . . . rather flat and spot-gloss according to what I've read today.

Got anymore info (or where you read that?) I do hope it is true as this could look really good with spot gloss
Here you go:-
MAJ le 1er aout 2017 — Amazon.fr indiquant “Pack Metal”, il y a de quoi s’inquiéter… Mais steelbookpro est en mesure de confirmer qu’il s’agit bien d’un vrai steelbook. De plus, les acheteurs de l’édition Manta Lab seront contents d’apprendre (les autres moins) que la finition sera différente : le steelbook ne sera plus embossé, et plus entièrement verni (spot-gloss à priori).
Full gloss or spot-gloss TBC
Order dispatched
Be interesting to see what the difference is between HMV steelbook and Manta Steelbook
