Guess who wont be paying that...?

 

[SaberTooth]

That would be better if they done that but Warner brothers gave us a jumbo steel for batman begins and dark knight which was also 5 discs.

yeah i know - this will probaly be a jumbo too now ....bigshot suits never got no imagination

a shame because i was in CEX recently and was looking at the SAW Gorology collection, which had 6 discs in a regular sized amaray.

 

[Man of Steelbooks]

Hey look, it's blue again.

Can't believe with the Middle Earth landscape they've gone with dingy blue cave artwork. What is wrong with them?

 

[Konflick]

I will pass if this is jumbo steel

 

[Softwing]

In that case it can only be a jumbo. Has it been confirmed as 5 discs?

It has, unfortunately, on its Amazon UK listing.

I've been wonderin for a while now, but i actually think 4 discs is not the maximum possible for a G2 steelbook - i think the actual maximum is 6 discs - a double tray on the left, a double tray on the right, and a back to back double flipper tray in the center

I hope you're right, and thinking about it, it certainly sounds possible, but it would still require WB to fund the manufacture of a new insert/disc tray for the steelbook. I'm just not sure if they'll consider it cost effective for something that will probably sell well either way.

..especially when they use a mock-up that gives no indication of being a jumbo. The BB/TDK steel is still using that slimline mock-up!

I think they are already 95% of the way there to a 6-disc slim G2 steelbook:

...just needs somebody in the right place within the steelbook world, with a little vision to push it through :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

 

[Kurgen1975]

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

 

[lolwut]

Artwork looks better suited for an amaray, not a collector's edition steelbook. With that said, it doesn't look bad.

 

[merowinger]

what an UGLY cover ;(

 

[bantha11]

Zavvi are listing this as 3 discs.

Amazon is listing it as 5 discs...

34,99£ on amazon

 

[Flloydo]

Just come up at £34.99 on amazon and 5 discs but I can't see what's any different to the 3 disc zavvi version so I reakon it's a mistake on one of the websites

34,99£ on amazon

Yowzer!!

 

[nutcaseshy]

Most likely the price will go down!

 

[wjasoncul]

Most likely the price will go down!

Just comparing the initial 3D price for Gatsby and Percy Jackson, that's a big jump.
