Please be a steelbook and not a digibook like the hobbit

This thread should be locked there is no new info it still says possible.

Just got the magnetic lenticular in the post today, looks awesome!

A slipcover with different art is also considered exclusive packaging. And by packaging that is what I believe they're saying. A cardboard casing is = packaging in MOST cases.

Hoping for a steelbook instead but let's see....Wreck is usually never wrong....

I don't think they would give a magnet with the pre-order unless it was meant to be put on a steelbook later. It's G2 sized. I have faith.

Comparing the last few Wal-Mart/Vudu pre-orders, the pre-orders indicated the following on the packaging:

The Hobbit-Blu-Ray Book
Oblivion--Metal Pak
Man of Steel--Exclusive Packaging or Exclusive Blu-Ray Combo Pack

Makes me wonder why Man of Steel is not described as a steelbook on the pre-order. It's early though, so anything could change, I guess.

Because it clearly looks like it's going to be a SLIPCOVER in the photo???

It could be and that was the point I was trying to make without declaring what it could be, because no one is 100% certain.

The magnet is also the same size as a standard amaray case though too.

Got it in the mail today from a friend in the US, here's what this magnetic lenticular card looks like for those wondering

 

[kbr1656]

The magnet is also the same size as a standard amaray case though too.

I'm aware of that. That's what I mean by G2 sized. But specifically I mean that a magnet is meant to magnetize to something, and more than likely that something is metal.

 

[GroundZero81]

Really really hope its not a slipcover with g.i joe retaliation and star trek into darkness comeing up soon man of steel has to be a STEELBOOK guy's has to be

 

[hiphopnrap]

Is there a GB for this at all?

 

[dfoles]

I'm aware of that. That's what I mean by G2 sized. But specifically I mean that a magnet is meant to magnetize to something, and more than likely that something is metal.

If the marketing department misses the opportunity to release Man of Steel on a steelbook, then I have no hope for humanity

Totally agree it would really brake my heart

Don't get me wrong, I am totally in your corner and am really hoping you're right. I just don't want to get my hopes up until I have some concrete information, that's all.

 

[CyberAthlete]

Well I pre-ordered my copy and let's hope it is an embossed steelbook...fingers crossed.

The magnet does look really nice IMO.

 

[bbrag]

hmm region free?

 

[CyberAthlete]

Full price up front. Don't remember the exact price but it's between $24.99-$26.99 + tax

And it's in store only. I didn't find such an offer online.
