[cooey]

Cancelled Zavvi order and ordered at Amazon

 

[davetherave]

Cancelled my zavvi too and reordered with amazon, also had a £5 voucher so got it down to 17.26!

 

[Zagreus]

Don't understand why they put Elrond & Galadriel... we see them for what? 2 min in the movie?

In the theatrical cut, yes...

 

[yeslek]

still worried about it being a jumbo, but have pre-ordered from Amazon just in case

Don't like the artwork very much.. hopefully other countries will get better artwork or it'll be amaray for me

 

[Sage the Owl]

Terrible artwork, cheap & nasty like a straight to video effort. Why not use the original poster artwork of Bilbo opening the door to his house ? its a darn site classier than this travesty.
If there's an Amaray of this edition its getting my cash unless other countries have a better design.

6 disc won't work in G2. The first pic you link to there is a G1. In G2, the discs overlap much more meaning that the swing tray won't fit

i'm not sure if it makes that much of a difference - i only used that G1 pic cause thats the only steel i can think of where 4 discs have been laid out like that instead of the regular way. but yeah, the discs are a little closer in a G2. If it was a problem tho, the flipper tray can actually be single sided, but the same overlaping layered design as the left and right sides - this is what was done with the amray SAW Gorerology collection

Finally, I am waiting for that extended version!

I think this steel for me personally just has too much going on with the front art.

 

[henry00x]

would love to know how they are going to fit 5 discs in a g2 steelbook

personally i like the art of the theatrical edition steelbook

I'm not sure it's possible to fit five discs. We saw from the UK release of The Shawshank Redemption that four is pushing it with the case bulging in some instances.

I Pre-Ordered this and the Amazon Exclusive with Bilbo/Gollum Statue! Hell yeah!

 

[cityguyste]

Poor artwork...

 

[Dino Last]

It really is ugly looking. They should of just used the picture in the bottom right. I bet the awful blue banner will be stuck on there and it will be a jumbo too. Major pass
