I'd be fuming if I'd spent good money on the Play version. This isn't just similar, it's identical aside from the plastic insert.

Good money, as in £15.99 when it was released? Or good money as in £100 from eBayers?

If anynoe spent over the retail price, then the only people they can be fuming with is themselves.

I don't own the Play one. But the picture on the Play Website looks different to me...

It's without the blue banner, and Enterprise is bigger...

Love it an exact play.com replica for a fraction of the price.

 

[Scarface]

it looks great, I had a feeling it would be exactly the same, well pleased the blu banner is on it

 

[Dhiraj1]

Jesus man this will pull the play.com version down and this will surely go up now as many people were so dubious about this mysterious release.

True, but the 'limited' run that makes steels worth collecting and valuable was basically a lie.

*edit*

Interestingly, the serial number on the steel at the back is exactly the same as the Play version too. That suggests the outside is a complete replica.

Hopefully mine arrives today, I had an email on Friday at 6am so maybe it actually went out on Thursday but they didnt update the status until Friday. Fingers crossed!

That picture is wrong, there's pictures of the original Play.com release in this thread

 

[Strikeman]

Did we ever find out the print run on these, was it just a normal 4k print run? So a total of 8k with the original play.com release?

It's hard not to see values on the Play edition dropping now. I guess some collectors will still want the earlier edition for its full complement of stickers ('Holographic Experience' etc), but for most people this one will do just fine. It'll be interesting to see this one does value-wise on the secondary market now that people know it's a straight reissue.

Is the blu banner printed or a j card & is it 1 or 3 disk?

Printed (it's exactly the same as the Play version), and it's 1 disc (the only difference).

yeah I have wanted play's edition for ages now, I wasn't collecting when it came out but now that we have this I have zero interest in play's and I'm sure a lot of people will share the same thoughts.

As expected it is an exact reprint. Paramount don't release bad Steelbooks in the UK. I'm glad it looks fantastic, but I do feel kinda bad for collectors who own the Play.com version. I don't see why this one was released aswell as the black one. I think most would've been happy to see just the black version released. I hope Paramount don't make a habit of re-releasing past Steelbooks like this.

Looks like i will be keeping my play.com one then.

3 disk is better plus i got it on release,my first steelbook.

 

[Henke007]

This re release of the white wasn't 4 K was it??

Fair enough. I'm just taking the 3 disc amaray and sticking the discs in this one for an exact copy

 

[ihategiantspiders]

Can't wait for mine, should be here today. Never saw the inside art until now, it's gorgeous. Got my 3 disc from the U.S. too so doing a swap job also.

Yeah it's a little bit sad that the UK's rarest and most collectable steelbook has now lost its status a bit. It's not like we have that many... !

So happy that I got this. Not sure what the print run was on this in the end. All seemed very mysterious but glad I got it. The play one was one of the first that I sold ages ago and not at silly prices either, just cost price (gutted). But now its back in my collection I can be happy!
