Most likely pick this up after the new release date which is a touch

With imports vat and shipping that's over £55 from Amazon. Ouch. Those bros will have to stay in HD for a while

somebody should tell them what "limited" means

It was Best Buy exclusive for a limited time

It was Best Buy exclusive for a limited time

yeah, i guess.. but it does seem a bit sketchy

You never know now which of these Best Buy, now Walmart 'exclusives', will become available everywhere - this isn't a first time.

don't we all just love capitalism?

Finally picked this up but I do also really like the new French version so it was a tough choice. Illustrated just about swings it for me

US & UK : No actors on artwork
FR : main actors on front artwork. Even if colors don't match perfectly, I prefer this steelbook which shows more respect for Reeves and Swayze. The other steels are just a mean to make money without paying image rights, which I think disrespectful for actors work.

The UK steelbook is one of the worst ever made, it was awful quality.

Happy this was popular enough to get a reprint but man, I just don’t like it.

French is the OG poster with the actors.
French FTW.

I'm beginning to see why ya'll are 'picking' on tha_lunatic...

Don't understand why people are bickering about which artwork is supposedly better. Both the US and French steelbooks have nice artwork. Which one you prefer is just a matter of taste. I imagine many steelbook collectors will end up buying both anyways.

The question is - which country retailer has the better reputation for getting undamaged Steelbooks to the customer internationally?

Amazon FR
FNAC
Amazon US

Anyone have an opinion?
I'd love to order one today
