10k is small in the USA but in reality its at least big enough to know the movies wont sell out immediately. (least barring Disney/Marvel) Which is kinda nice as you can at least wait for the first price drop.

This one looks classy.

That threw me as well. I was looking for the exclusive from Shout but... narthin! (n) :grumpy: :cry: It'll show up soon enough I guess.
 
Strange how it's up on amazon already but can't seem to find any mention of it at all on Shout Factorys own site?
It's a Shout Factory release from Shout/MGM
It's not a scream factory or shout select release

Shout announced the release on the Shout Factory Facebook page with the purchase link to Amazon

Previous other release from Shout/MGM was Fargo Steelbook

I'm sure at some stage it will be listed on the shout factory website

I assume its the same release, but Best Buy has a Platoon steelbook releasing the same day for $19.99. But their listing doesn't mention 4k

This steelbook is a Blu-ray
It's a 4K scan restoration
Shout Factory releases are available from all USA retailers
Some list for sale after release date
