Pitch Black / Chronicles Of Riddick Blu-ray SteelBook - http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B002IT7KWM/?tag=hidefnin0a-21

Double feature steelbook from France. Note that the steelbook is not printed art, but is rather a "stickerbook" (the artwork is applied as a sticker on a blank steelbook). See Transporter Trilogy and Walkyrie as other examples of stickerbooks from France.

Shame that it's a Stickerbook. I'd buy it if it was a true Steel, but I'll pass on the stickers.

I have to disagree. I think its really nice. Glad I got it!

Definetely agree with you. Great looking steel, once you have it in your hands you can see how nice it is even if its a stickerbook

I obviously haven't seen it in person, so I admit, I may be speaking out of turn on my initial negative reaction. I just have a hard time fathoming that Stickerbooks are anywhere near as nice as Steelbooks.

Do you guys know if there are forced subs on the discs?

It's a Universal title, so that almost always means region free.

In addition, if it's like the other Universal discs, you are prompted at disc load what your language is - from that point, you see everything in english - menus, options, language...etc.

I'm not a fan of stickerbook but this looks great. Some stickerbooks look flawless when the background matches the actual steelbook, like Advent Children.

 

[apsmith21]

Just curious - has anyone here tried to order this from amazon.fr recently?

 

[justintime2k]

Not recently but about month or so ago

You are looking for a copy, Andy ?

I'm thinking about it.

 

[Nightowl]

Is this available at retail shops in France? I didn't see any at FNAC or Media Markt in Belgium.

I'm very interested in getting this. I was thinking of getting the Pitch Black German SB but this is a better way to go. Anyone got one to spare? LOL

I checked out amazon.fr and it says that they have 4 in stock. What are the odds that those are the steelbook?

50 / 50. The picture shows steelbook, so if you get an amaray, you do have an out there - they would have to refund your $$ on that one.

I have just been offered this steelbook for £25.00 is that a good price?
not to sure.
