Gonna get my order in for this one tommorow!

Awesome art front and back but that inside is nasty. It really should have art from the corridor hammer/fight scene as it's the most iconic scene in the film. Any chance we can get this changed (have a vote similar to Terminator?)?

I doubt it, that will be the finished artwork. I think it looks ok but I haven't seen the film yet!

Looks amazing...

I'm sticking with the copper box edition tho.. lol

 

[knarz]

WOW this steelbook looks so cool!
definetly a must have for me!

 

[humperklonk]

anyone agree that it well sell quick on pre-order like the terminator and iron man???????

 

[MayFlower]

it all depends on the number of steelbook produce...if they're going to release 10,000 of them, then the answer is NO..it won't beat Iron Man.

If both all had the same production #, then there is no way it beats Terminator and Iron Man. Asian movies do not surpass the audience of titles like Terminator and Iron Man. No way!

I read somewhere that only new releases get a print run higher than 5k, 99% of the play steelbooks get a 4k print run

 

[Andy CYP]

Wonder what the print run on this is anyways.

 

[blumetal]

Very beautiful Steelbook

 

[cooey]

I don't think this will sell as quickly as Battle Royale, unless the price is a good one.

I haven't seen the movie for a while, so this is a good excuse to buy

Iron Man < 1 week (4,000) (play.com exclusive)
Battle Royale <= 2 weeks (4,000) (play.com exclusive)
Terminator > 4 weeks (5,000 just for UK, other countries had a flavor of this steelbook)

Honestly, this movie is in such high regard with our collectors here, I would not be surprised if Oldboy sold out quicker than Terminator.

We've been looking at 4,000 print runs consistently with most of the catalog title runs and I think it goes to show that if you produce a quality movie and a quality steelbook, you can sell out in a matter of weeks.

And don't have stupidly large prints runs like Akira as limited numbers means exclusivity

I reckon it'll be £11.99.

£10.99 would be better as the pound saved could go towards another SB.

 

[snooloui]

£10.99 would be awesome, but I'd settle for anything under £15

 

[Scarface]

£10.99 would be awesome, but I'd settle for anything under £15

£10.99 would be fair, its a older movie with 1 disc

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Never seen it, i take its worth a punt then?!

*adds to rental list*
