Old Updates & infos:
NEW UPDATE 8/13/2013:
We have a short update on the finish details for our 2 exclusive Star Trek Into Darkness steelbooks. Both the steelbook in the Villain Edition and the Hero Edition steelbook will have debossed title treatments and be matte finishes. We had some fantastic ideas for the ***8220;special packaging***8221; we promised for the Hero Edition, but unfortunately the time constraints of turning this around in just over a month before the release date meant that none of them were possible. The Entertainment Store exclusive sticker that has been on our previous releases will be on these releases too, and we can only apologise for being able to make the Hero Edition special rather than extra special.

All is not lost though ***8211; some of the special packaging we had planned for Star Trek Into Darkness will be present on our next release, which we will be announcing exclusively via HDN on Tuesday 20th August. You won***8217;t be disappointed, I promise!

PREVIOUS UPDATE:
A stunning 2D and 3D blu-ray plus digital copy steelbook. Limited to 4,000 copies and available exclusively from The Entertainment Store. Finish, embossing, release date and pricing TBC, but we have really special plans for the packaging.

Original infos:From our friends at Entertainment Store in the UK:
The Entertainment Store Boldly goes where other E-tailers cannot

The fastest growing Entertainment E-tailer on the Marketplace, The Entertainment Store, continues its strong exclusive packaging offering in September 2013 with the introduction of 2 2D and 3D Blu Ray Steelbooks for Star Trek: Into Darkness Home Entertainment release.

The limited edition Steelbooks are limited to 4,000 copies each, and will be available to Pre-order from The Entertainment Store on Play.com from midday Friday July 19th 2013.

Since its arrival in March 2013 The Entertainment Store has been working closely with Paramount Home Entertainment and have already teamed up to bring us exclusive Blu Ray SKUs such as GI Joe and Hansel and Gretel but this latest batch of releases look to be the most interesting yet. The E-tailer distributes product directly from the Studio warehouses so the product is guaranteed as authentic and of the highest quality.

Mine arrived on Saturday...not exactly sure when as the postman came and went without leaving me anything, yet a few hours later I went into the kitchen to find a parcel on the mat...

I didnt have time to have a good look at it until just now and had a mild panic thinking it had a big dent on the bottom edge on the back of the steelbook :ohno: ...turned out to be just a crease in the backing card :LOL:
 
Glad mine came today, i decided to cancel the other ES release until i saw pics, and if i'm honest i prefer this one. I always liket this artwork the most however i'm a bit gutted i cancelled the amazon one because its got some awesome embossing ;)
 
Just clicked on the link above and it was saying on play this was still avaliable. Added it to my basket and then it said its out of stock as I went to pay! Now the link goes to the normal ES page. Literally in seconds!
 
I have mine now but not pleased with the overall quality. The border seems to have the same issues as the Argo and The Town steels and the embossed lettering is out like with The Jungle Book. Considering the prices we are now paying for these steels I am not impressed.
 
my copy was supposed to have been dispatched last tuesday, actually had thursday's date on it!!!
clearly, ES didn't post copies when they said they did. how many of you out there have checked the date on your invoices? will be interesting to see how many other members have different dispatch / invoice dates!!

same here the dispatch e-mail was dated 27/08 but the invoice was dated 29/08
 
Got my copy today, first ES exclusive I have bought, and got to say it looks great and in minty mint condition!! Take note zavvi!! :) :) Just waiting on my amazon one now, no order dispatched email for it yet..... bit worrying!!
 
What do they mean when they say they are shipped from the studio warehouse? Does that mean they are not sent directly by them?
 
Yes I suspect es and play are pulling a fast one, trying to look good by saying they have dispatched Tuesday so everybody is saying yes great. When actually they are sending them Thursday and then Royal Mail are taking the blame for being slow delivery for not turning up sat or Monday.

Very bad practice may have to rethink using them and the fact they use slow ass ****** TNT shipping makes it even worse.
 
Could be worse, could be DPD. At least TNT can find where I live. I've twice had stuff sent to me using DPD. And both times I've had to chase them for delivery. After the delivery day had passed and I had not recieved the item or even a card saying nobody was in. But I digress.
 
All depends doesn't it, people have different experiences I've never had a problem with dpd, also I just expect the Friday and sat deliveries were lucky. No conspiracy about it.
