I missed that. I normally have a good look on steelbook.com.

In regards to HDzeta post from wxlinkswd it says Not Mad Max Black & Chrome Exclusive steelbook

Looks like the HDzeta will be the previous MMFR WEA steelbook repackaged in a new Black & Chrome Slipbox

If that is correct this makes the Zavvi Black & Chrome Edition Steelbook very exclusive so far

Got mine today and I think it is a gorgeous steelbook. Title doesn't bother me, and the colour side just seems so vibrant. So happy to have this.

I really like the steel but just wish I liked the film aswell. Couldn't buy it just for the steel.

 

[SavageAmusement]

I regret passing on this.

 

[StifflersDad]

Fantastic steelbook.
Love the design.
Excellent use of gloss and embossing.

 

[misformatt]

What a sleeper of a release this turned out to be. Those in hand pics look fantastic.

I'm guessing they didn't emboss the title because Scanavo charges by the letter.

It's an awesome release! And the price is also more than OK. What a pity that I skipped it

I wish they added some goodies and set the price at 45.

Zavvi Steelbook Black and Chrome Edition is the only steelbook so far no other announced yet

So, is there actually any difference between watching the Black and Chrome edition, and just watching the regular disc with the colour turned off? Do they look any different?

Basically NO!

The film was shot in colour.

There has been a lot of nonsense talked about how this is "How George Miller envisioned the film",.

The truth is rather less visionary . . . . . George Miller said himself, he first saw it in black and white in the editing suite after they had knocked up a cheap "slash dupe" in B&W for the sountrack composer, and found he preferred it.
He asked WB to ADD a version in B& W to the original release, but there wasn't room on the disc.

So that is how we got here . . .

Lol I posted on Twitter yesterday that I'd saved myself some money by cancelling my Black & Chrome preorder and just watching the edition I have with the colour turned down!

Mad Mad Road Warrior is the reference in regards to cheap slash dupe in Black and White in the editing suite

This unboxing Video has at the end has the extra from the blu-ray where he discusses why he wanted it in Black and White

 

[Stansf1eld]

Watching the color version black and white is different from black and chrome.



You should note this is a comparison between bd rip and a web trailer
so pay more attention to the tone and contrast than picture quality

 

[Danzigg1979]

Had to cancel my pre order due to low funds, kinda regretting it now.
