Release date is November 4th, 2013

I assume the Blu-ray banner will be on a J-card.

Artwork is better than The first UK steel of the hobbit (worldwide 2D release) but nothing wow... Artwork suggests its not a Jumbo, but then so did TDK/BB steel and that turned out to be a jumbo...
Thanks again snooloui, it seems like im always thanking you for your info and updates

No problem. For those interested, info is from Base.com:

Price is pretty high

 

[Konflick]

I will get this as long as its not a jumbo or else i will keep my proper steelbook

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Yeh, the same price as ES releases, i don't mind though, hopefully amazon do what they did with Oblivion and drop price at a later date

so much better than suckass original UK edition looks G2 as well, which along with 3D & 4 discs makes this a nearly perfect release

 

[Nightowl]

Looks like Bilbo is lining up to hit one out of the park ...

 

[Zelos]

Awesome artwork, love that 3D is included and the fact that this is the extended edition makes it worh the wait. Now let's hope it's not a jumbo but an actual steelbook !

And oh...a nice finish including inside artwork would make it perfect. This artwork screams for an embossed title or at least a matte finish on the blue artwork and/or a glossy finish on the colored artwork .

 

[NazguL66]

I like it, definitely better artwork than the first steelbook release. Better cover, 3D, extended edition...buying hah

£24.99 at Base so Amazon will be the same or possibly even £22.49

The front looks nice pictures can still be misleading it could be a jumbo cant see this selling out so will wait for pics looking good tho.

 

[tommyh84]

I want the extended edition but that steelbook is nothing compared to the Taiwan version I already own. Reckon I'll go for a CE of the Extended Cut instead

 

[justboy]

Good to see this as a complete edition.
Not pleased with the art. What's with the random image in the bottom corner?
Can't think of what they could have used to improve it though.

 

[Sigill]

surely 9 hours can fit on one blu ray disc

9 hours of Standard Definition would but not HD. I presume the extras will be in HD. This is almost certain to be a jumbo, I think I will go for one of the collectors editions instead.

Why, they cab quite easily get four discs in a slim

Why, they cab quite easily get four discs in a slim

This information would be much more pertinent if this wasn't a 5 disc set.

 

[Asopp]

I am not too keen on the artwork but still have to buy this.

 

[wjasoncul]

Don't be a Jumbo. Don't be a Jumbo....

 

[IRON MAN]

I still prefer the lenticular steelie, hopefully/probably other countries will get the extended edition with a different artwork. It's a waiting game

 

[frankfish44]

Not going to double dip on this. If I really want the extended edition, going to scour the bay for a cheap offer to replace the ones on the MM lenticular.
