Hi guys, I want to let you know that I received an email from Fox France that asked me to vote for the artwork that will be chosen for the Steelbook that comes out in France in December.

Per axcraig and Mams, an e-mail was sent from Fox France, asking which cover customers would prefer, via a vote.

The choices are pictured below. If you had a say, which would you choose?

Just got my copy yesterday as well, and I am stoked that both of my copies arrived in mint condition. I was scared that they might be damaged due to Amazon.fr shipping them in a flimsy cardboard envelope but luckily that wasn't the case.

Lucky you guys, I'm still waiting for my copy

It's on route tho, but the wait is killing me

OK I got mine today a little damaged. But I just went to watch and now I am really pissed. I thought this was multi region. BR player says I have to install local storage. Went on sony's website that was useless. I have spent over 2 hours trying to figure out how the hell do I insatll local storage. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

This may not help, but Ive ran across some foriegn steels before where the discs when start up wanted to try and connect via (internet) before it would get to menu. If it connected then it told me wrong region etc. I took disc out put it back in and when it showed this connecting like icon I was able to skip it... then it went to menu and I was able to play.

Again, that wasnt for POTA and if I recall it was some from a German wave (in bruges, from paris, etc.) But maybe that info could help ....

Actually what this sounds like is your trying to view BD-Live on a player that is only capable of Profile 1.0 or 1.1. BD-Live or Profile 2.0 or Blu-ray 2.0 requires at least 1GB of internal storage to store content, sort of like a buffer or RAM is really what it is while you view the content.

Here's a little run down on the profiles...

Spoiler

Profile 1.0

Profile 1.0 is the original hardware requirement for Blu-ray players and essentially meets the bare minimum for playing back Blu-ray Discs. You'll have no problem playing back a movie, listening to standard audio commentary, tracks or using interactive "pop-up" menus, but you won't be able to access advanced features like picture-in-picture video commentary or download any extra content online.

If you're the kind of person that never watches special features, you might be fine with a Profile 1.0 player, but be aware that you may not be able to take full advantage of more advanced Blu-ray features. Manufacturers aren't allowed to produce any more Profile 1.0 players, but it's not rare to see the older units still being sold--for example, the Sharp BD-HP20U is still widely available. With the price of Profile 1.1 players falling as quickly as they are, it's probably worth skipping Profile 1.0 players.

Profile 1.1 (also known as BonusView or Final Standard Profile)
Profile 1.1 allows for picture-in-picture commentary on certain Blu-ray Discs.

Profile 1.1 allows for picture-in-picture commentary on certain Blu-ray Discs.

There are several different hardware requirements (see the chart below), but it basically boils down to the addition of picture-in-picture functionality, also known as BonusView. Typically, Blu-ray movies use this feature to enable a small window of video commentary, where a director or actor talks about a scene while it happens in the background. Profile 1.1 players need to have the secondary video and audio decoders necessary to play a smaller video in the corner, while also playing the main high-definition movie in the background. Movie studios were somewhat reluctant to include BonusView functionality at first, but now many Blu-ray Discs include the feature.

Profile 2.0 (also known as BD-Live)
Profile 2.0 allows for Internet-enabled features, such as downloading movie trailers.

Profile 2.0 allows for Internet-enabled features, such as downloading movie trailers.

Despite Profile 1.1 also being known as Final Standard Profile, there's actually still another Blu-ray specification, Profile 2.0, also known as BD-Live. The reason it's called BD-Live is that the major difference between profiles 1.1 and 2.0 is that Profile 2.0 requires that the player have an Internet connection, usually via an Ethernet port. Although some Profile 1.1 Blu-ray players have an Ethernet port, these are strictly for firmware updates and can't be used to access downloadable content.

In addition to Ethernet connectivity, the other major requirement is 1GB of local storage capability. All that means is that the player has to have some way of adding storage to the player, which is where the downloadable content is stored.

Only on a few, usually TFI releases. I think Valkyrie, Pulp Fiction & Aviator are examples that do.

With most French releases they can can switched off.

 

[notimetochill]

It's okay for me the only think I care about is that it's look nice in the collection

 

[ocielz]

Everyone from the USA got steels and not Amaray??? just checking before i order one.

 

[MayFlower]

you shouldn't need to worry because the title said "Boîtier métal".

You can always use that against them for a full refund if they decide to send you amaray case.

Buy it with confidence
