To be completely honest, I don't mind it much mainly because it's the only steelbook I will ever have of this film (that and Taiwan Futurepak for the slip), but I totally agree about the high price, lack of anything unique (slip-and-finish-wise).. oh well you win some you lose some I guess. My interest in steels is I'm getting less and less by the day and will be more and more concentrating on Blufans & KimchiDVD Exclusives the way forward 'as I have always been right from day 1'.

100% right. Why is it so difficult to give first pictures before release? So everybody could cancel it.
Maybe it is okay for people who live in japan and dont have to pay "high" shipping and customs.
I feel like a jackass atm. Getting weak of hype!
How you do it..you will lose :>

Mine's in transit, but if I find it unimpressive when it arrives, it's going right back.

 

[digitalbabe]

Shipped! :boobies:

 

[psychomugs]

I guess a lot of us dodged an $80 bullet

 

[AlexG]

Wow...total disappointment. But glad I cancelled just before shipping notices started popping up. Ebay could be flooded with copies at dirt cheap before the years over.

Make a note never pre order Warner titles til' you see actual pics.

Bluprint, thank you!

Pictures look really ****** for this price..

Why is it so difficult to give first pictures before release? So everybody could cancel it.

That's exactly the point why they aren't appear before release

So very, utterly.....ordinary, why did all of us bother in that frenzy of grabbing a copy at pre-order? For me, I am sorry to say so, this sounds the death knoll for steelbooks. Retailers are either churning out titles as if we will buy every single one of them, or just being plain lazy and thinking we will buy into the mystique of it going OOS very soon. They need to rethink this strategy of theirs, as the Steelbook market is crumbling and the general allure is really dissipating.

Yup +1

Even I'm losing interest in jp steels

The steelbook itself might not look like much, but I got this for the bonus special features disc anyway. For the money, this appears to be the most complete special features compilation for this film.

Thinking of refusing the delivery. I should get refunded that way right?

You have to inform Amazon's Support and get a refund for the item only, with exclusion of the shipping cost.

What were you guys expecting really? Eventhough there was a little hope the finish will be different, we all knew it would pretty much be the same as FS. And it still come with all the extras as the mock up suggests. And JP Warner steels rarely/never have anything special slip wise, as the mockup also suggests. Looks like peeps were fooled into false hype with this one some how if yall were expecting more. I still want it for the extras but not at that price.

FYI

"Within 30 days of delivery of a shipment, you may return any of the following items you purchased from Amazon.co.jp, for any reason, for a full refund (we'll also refund the shipping cost if the return is a result of our error)"

Glad I dodged this bullet.

Come on man!!! Somone has to pay and it ends up being the consumer with this type of thinking.

I have never refused any delivery nor will I ever. You need to owe up to your decisions.

so is it true then that there's no glossy steelbook release for this title?
