Don't like the artwork on the front taken from an original poster design as looks a bit silly.
Unfortunately not one poster design I can see ideal for the steelbook front artwork and the lesser of two evils for me would be this big head poster image (if I had to make a choice out of the available poster designs it would be this one):-


Wouldn't worry about the price as it'll soon be GBP 19.99 when they realise that just because there's a 4K disc inside it doesn't mean that I'm prepared to pay ten quid more than normal for my steelbooks.

There is good chance that it will be around £29.99 for release.
Labyrinth came out at that price and hung around at it for quite a while before the price dropped to a reasonable price (still too high if you ask me for it's age).

4K is such a waste of time, it will be gone in no time. No way I am upgrading all my kit just for a short term upgrade, I'll wait for BD's true successor.

As for this release... artwork is a bit meh if you ask me - the front looks like back art IMO, but maybe it's just because it lacks a title. Can't say I have much interest in the film anyway to be honest.

I hope they don't start going down the 4K route if they are going to be this expensive, especially without 3D (which is far more important to me than 4K)

I suppose at least it'll save me money as I won't end up buying as many steelbooks!!

The price is £8 over the 3D price...The distributers are seeing 4k as generating extra revenue

That's not Zavvi saying 500 copies...Just they've been told (by whom?)

QUOTE: We’ve been told there will be just 500 copies of this available.

Might be worth to check this with zavvi,sounds strange to me too. That's why I said they I don't know how reliable the source is

This was $42 or $43 on the Zavvi US site. That's too high for me for a bare bones release. I'll wait to see what is announced in the US.

Have you seen how much Asian retailers charge for a Blu-ray only barebones Steelbook release? Feel free to have a look and come back to us.

Check how much Amazon are asking for 4K + 2D Steelbooks, so nothing surprising here although I admit it is on the higher side.
