Am I the only one who HATES this design?! The Asian/French releases have beautiful. This is some lazy crap!

With you there, ordered every variation of the French release.

Will be skipping this one and the USA one as well.

The US is getting a steelbook?

I have this art ordered, but the Korean version. So far, I have both Korean steels, the digibook, and I'm seriously thinking of getting all four of the French steels

I just don't like the non English text on all the others, the only better alternative to this would be the Czech version. This will do for me until the super duper extended set comes out.

No you aren't.. Though they could've done a better job with the French art, I think they went out of their way to make this fugly! Someone with a great big green crayon let loose.

Wonder if they've got a lot to shift, nice little incentive to buy, extract of email received follows:

Thank you for pre-ordering The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey from Amazon.co.uk. We’ve teamed up with Warner Bros.

btw my code was in the line above that and also showed my order number (for those who are interested).

Not inspired by this artwork at all, tempted just to go with UK 3D copy even though I don't own 3DTV for the cool lenticular cover

 

[rodtp]

Just cancelled my order I will stick with the Korean release with the same art cover.

 

[blu-steel]

I think I am gonna cancel this one. I think it looks horrible with that matte finish.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I cancelled my order too. There's absolutely nothing good enough about it. Maybe when it's cheap I'll pick up a copy but I'm still very disappointed!

Anyone gonna watch this live event? I lost my email with the code

Yeah i'm watching it now. Just a question and answer session with PJ etc at the moment. Quite interesting. Not sure if each code can only be used once but feel free to try B6CB7V9GV6W7.

Interesting, but it was a little underwhelming. Was hoping for much more footage but I guess I'll just have to wait patiently :movie:

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

Got a new code & watched it for a little while.

I think I am gonna cancel this one. I think it looks horrible with that matte finish.

My understanding is that this will have a zero finish - like The Untouchables.

 

[Goonboy]

I still don't know whether to order this or the French release with Gollum cover, as that looks awesome.

 

[El Dukeo]

Dissapointed this doesnt have the 3d copy
