Ok, so i dont own Salt and got only a damaged Grren Hornet! But thats not a wave for us collectors! I am really angry! Why the hell they only produce rereleases, Warner, Sony...all the same!

I as a collector want movies in steels without a steelbook release yet!

The jury's possibly still out whether this will de-value or increase the value of the original releases of Zombieland, Faster etc, but I will put up my hand and say I wont order any of this...bad, sony, bad.

Increase the value of the original?! You are quite the optimist my friend. This title has been dealt the worst blow possible. Not only is it getting re released in its exact copy of the original, but there is also a competing Play.com version. I don't personally own this title, but I would be extremely unhappy about these latest developments.

 

[blu-steel]

Hate to say this but this is a BIG FAIL on SONY. Shame on the money grabbing fools who thought that re-releasing highly desired steelbooks is a sure way to gain revenue.

All they are doing is pissing off more people. They gain nothing from this. The amount of money re-releasing a steelbook is small compared to what their needs are. It won't be long until Sony goes bankrupt IMO. They are not thinking clearly.

I wonder if those who are moaning about re-released steels were also overjoyed when Play brought out Iron Man

This is a different situation than the Iron Man with Play. Play and Paramount had the smarts to use a different artwork to distinguish its steelbook from the Future Shop edition which in turn made both very desirable.

These re-releases, however, have the same artwork sans the printed rating logo.

 

[Soprano]

Yeah, I'm only messin'. Sony don't care, or perhaps even realise they will annoy a few people.

These will generate sales (not from me) and thats what the company (every company) is all about. Making money.

 

[halpme]

I still don't care about re-releasing steelbooks and companies making money, it's their job.

For me, the really disappointing thing about such re-release-waves is the fact, that there is so little love put into them: Printed-On Stickers, No De-/Embossing, Text everywhere, no interior art..

After all I think that the quality of the steelbook-market is rather low. Just look at some of the designs that were made by users of this board. Those designs are often far superior to any release we've seen so far, combined with de-/embossing and (if available) a bonus disc, those SB would be a real deal.

Now, we're (probably) getting another load of super-cheap steels and regarding the last play.com-wave including the Rock, Armageddon etc. I'm a bit worried about play.com too.. I want quality, Iron man Play.com was quality, this wave probably won't be.

German re-releasing = No interior art + printed back

Not interested.

 

[lgans316]

Also some of them don't feature lossless audio in English, so easy pass.

 

[Jango]

looks like they have no em/debossing and no j card so propably printed back, gues thats an cheap rerelease without touching value on the good stuff?

 

[Drum18]

Closed all the individual thread since we'll wait for any confirmation.

 

[MayFlower]

You guys see the blu-ray logo on the bottom right corner...that's the new format as we are seeing in the new releases.

I think these re-releases are legit...

 

[Seraphime]

I do hope that Zombieland does have an FSK logo on front otherwise its a slap in the face for us who have the original release.

 

[Hilo84]

Closed all the individual thread since this is NOT a re-release. I'll keep this discussion in case we get any confirmation, but until then, this is not a re-release.

Amazon listed the Re-Releases with the same Asin Number

Here a the List of the 15 Steelbooks :

Zombieland
Tränen der Sonne
Terminator 4
2012
World Invasion
Salt
The Green Hornet
The Da Vinci Code
Underworld Evolution
Der Patriot
Machete
Faster
Wer ist Hanna
Terminator 3
Priest 3D

We will keep an eye on these until they get officially announced. Faster has just had the link go up on Amazon but we will wait and see what happens with the others.

 

[snooloui]

Hanna, Machete and Terminator 3 also up for pre-order now too.

Machete and Terminator were the confirmed ones but I think it's inevitable that the others will follow soon now.

good news for anybody that didn't pay over the top ebay prices for the original releases

 

[leelee17]

REALLY?!?!?!?!

good news for anybody that didn't pay over the top ebay prices for the original releases

i dont think it matters really, steelbook collecting is a joke now. Wont be long before were hunting down the rare amaray cases.

 

[MayFlower]

you mean "slap in the face again".

This is not the first time... So how many re-releases do we have so far? 100 titles already?

I do hope that Zombieland does have an FSK logo on front otherwise its a slap in the face for us who have the original release.
