Think I'll just pick up the amaray at some point and stick the disc in one of my HDZeta editions, don't like this one.

Law, isn't that a bit expensive? 25 bucks for amaray is a bit much unless you're planning on waiting for a substantial price drop. Might as well order this one when it's available again.

Don't forget 12 Angry Men. A true masterpiece.

Absolutely, and one of my all time favourites
I wouldn't dream of setting out a list of my all time favourite B&W films (not modern B&W - shall we call them pre PSYCHO in 1960) but that would take ages as maybe 75% of my favourite films are pre 1960 resulting in the longest off-topic post in HDN's history (LOL).

Anyway, gonna watch the B&C version of FURY ROAD first.

One of my favorites, too. Pre-1960 B&W films are truly magnificent. Not all of them, but a significant majority.

I'm only interested in the disc, both are out of the question at the current price. It'll be more of a whim buy than anything else really

Okay, that explains a lot. Well, happy hunting. Hope you get a great deal!

Yes, there's more than a few brilliant modern foreign language B&W films out there but "Arthouse foreign language films" were deliberately not mentioned.

If I had mentioned foreign language B&W films I certainly would have included ANGEL-A (which I particularly like for its nod to the evergreen Jimmy Stewart classic IT'S A WONDEFUL LIFE) and others such as LA HAINE (steelbook available) and A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT as just a few examples.

I don't look at it as a art house film at all but fair dos

If it is classed as that then it's the least art house film I've ever seen

Great film though

This two-movie edition is treated with a spot gloss leaving the Black & Chrome side in matte with a glossy title treatment and the opposite on the colourful side-Steelbook.com

Got my amaray edition (on sale by bol.com for €9,99) this weekend. I think it's a great opportunity to see this action ride in black&white which is very rich of contrast

Based on Steelbook.com's reliability and sterling track record on pre-release descriptions (The Conjuring 2!) I'm more inclined to believe this will now be a dull matte finish with no spot gloss or bossing whatsoever.

There will be no embossing / debossing.

My point was more about Steelbook.coms reliability on product descriptions. Either they are incompetent or lie deliberately, so I'd take their "descriptions" as rumour only.

is zavvi the only retailer so far offering this steelbook?

Just watched this Black & Chrome Edition in a theater
What's better than the original color edition is the rating. It's rated PG12 in Japan so now I can watch it with my kids without my wife complaining

Sold out for now, was going to order one but will have to wait for the inevitable second pre-order run now
