Yes you can, here:

I think this is a terrible steelbook with a rubbish design. Debossing or not it's dissapointing play went out with this steelbook, and an even greater shame that it's not even an exclusive anymore.

Great cast though.

I think 'terrible' and 'rubbish' are really harsh descriptions for this steelbook, but everyone is entitled to an opinion.

I love it and think it was well worth the money.

It is still a Play exclusive. Despite Zavvi selling off the last of the last they were never going to list it on their site as a Play exclusive, were they? They just removed that bit from the description. Play did all the work with the studio and secured the deal - Zavvi jumped on an opportunity to buy some leftover stock and I doubt any other retailers showed much interest if the quantities being hinted at are anything to go by.

Personally I'd give Play all the credit for getting this on to my shelf. My opinion for what it's worth

The same studio, Momentum Pictures, released The Raid as well. It has the same slip cover, similar steel with the front and back debossing. This is the kind of steels we need, something different and unique, not a whole wave of boring steels.

Interesting. Describe to me why it's a 'rubbish' design? What makes you think this is not an exclusive?

An exclusive means no other reatiler (in the country usually) has it. Zaavi is now selling this.

Who cares? 4000 made, 4000 sold, why does it matter?

Why is it any different from a third party seller buying a few up and selling then on? Sure Looper should not count as HMV exclusive since it looks like they won't sell it but this is most definitely a Play.com Steelbook and should remain regarded as such unless there is a reprint.

The colour scheme has something going for it but the back is completly messed up. The composition of the front is all wrong as well. No other retailer has sold play exclusives in the past and Zaavi of all people? Play's legacy deserves more imo.

IMO this is not a play.com exclusive now.
It was, but no longer.
Not like, say,
IM1 and 2 which definitely are and will continue to be play.com exclusives unless another company decides to sell exactly the same steels. Then the exclusivity is taken away.

Well, I don't even have this in my hands yet and I'm in love with it!

I think this could be a contender with The Raid [UK], it looks that good. The whole thing speaks high class steelbook. They put a lot of effort into this. For them to deboss not only the front with special realistic looking bullet holes but they also did the back too. This along with The Raid go on my special display shelf.

I think it shows how far UK steelbooks have come in 2012 if people can seriously put this in the 'rubbish' category.

Clean design, front and back debossing, inside artwork, no printed backs, no ratings logos, clean spine. Anyone who thinks this is terrible should probably try another hobby.

I just watched it with the old man, definitely appreciate this beauty more with the 'clothes' off! What an absolute stunner!

The steelbook isn't too bad either! If you know what I'm saying.

 

[Sigill]

I have to say this is a high class steel, clean artwork, debossed bullet holes front and back and some great quality inside artwork. There's obviously been a lot of effort put into this one, I don't think you can complain for the price.

Received it yesterday, what a beautiful steelbook that is.

 

[Frasr]

Received mine yesterday too. I love the debossing. If you're one of those people who keep them sealed then I urge you to open this one, it makes it 100x better

Available for pre-order from Zavvi.com for £14.95. Release Date: 28 January 2013 (same day with Looper steelbook). Shipping is £0.99 to US, make it a total of £15.94. I ordered together with Looper and only pay £0.99 to ship both. I purchased from Zavvi several times recently and all my steelbooks arrived in mint condition.

I agree - I had to turn the card upside down and put it in the protective sleeve with the front "bullet holes" showing

 

[Polar]

I missed it from play.com so I will take a chance from Zavvi.com. I hope it will come in good condition.

 

[BenSV650]

Ordered 2 replacements since my original turned up covered in chips. One of the replacements looks ok but the other has a chip out of the corner of the spine. Not sure if its worth keeping it sealed or just sending it back?

I think Zavvi placed a mega order with play to clear the stocks. I hope this doesn't become another Tinker Tailor.
