Looks like you also missed out on the 20% discount as well?

Haha. Nah, not a prob. I pre ordered the Futureshop District 12 edition. Seems i made the right choice there. Looks like the "Mocking Jay" version is gonna be the default edition everywhere else.

 

[ASHGOON]

keep seeing comments stating this is uncut - does that mean the us/canadian releases are cut?

 

[blurayoliver]

Technically it is uncut, but not by a lot, it has an extra 7 seconds or something, so you're not really missing out on a lot, in the uk, it had to be cut to obtain a 12A certificate, but in America and Canada, I don't think it was cut

i recon that those who used discount codes at hmv will recieve grade b blurays lol, its probably fixed so they can get rid of their bashed ones you think your getting a deal but your not, hahaha

i had 2 in a row, and they were both discounted and bashed !!!

 

[Alienkidmj12]

is this the same as the canada fs version ?

The FS version has different artwork if that's what your meaning mate

It doesn't. There's two and one looks pretty much like this except the logo on the front fills more of the cover. I don't see why they would produce two separate but really similar designs though, so I'd bet that they're the same.

Now I don't know which one I like better.......

Well I like the FS version better as the flame is bigger and covers most of the front cover.

 

[Ricker]

Yeah, but by the time you get done paying high taxes and for shipping, the difference is not worth it.

 

[sunnyx]

Your point noted for the price increase, but for me I pick the one I want best even if it is double the price. Just the way it goes on steelbooks, we arent always going to find the ones at the lowest price.

 

[deanoooo81]

what do you guys think bout this one being a good steelbook and worth summit?

 

[Scrubbedup]

I'm in 2 minds whether to get this or the canadian district 12 one ??? I can't being myself to get 2 steelbooks of the same film .

As long as the rating logos aren't printed and it turns out to be embossed or debossed, it could be a sought after steelbook. Since the Future Shop Mockingjay cover is not confirmed to be embossed/debossed, if this turns out with either or, it will compliment the Future Shop District 12 steelbook well.

 

[snooloui]

To be honest I think the cover will be the same as the FS and therefore make the District 12 version the one to get.

Think that is already confirmed.

I have this one ordered. I've been trying to figure out if it's 2 Blu discs plus 1 bonus DVD. That's what the listing sounds like, and I know the general non-steel Blu is a double disc edition:

Hunger Games: 2blu: Bonus Dvd: Hmv Exclusive: Steelbook

Does anyone know for sure?

 

[shdl83]

getting this one as it is cheaper and is region B futureshop ones are nice though. is this movie any good?

Decent movie, book(s) are better though. Aimed at a teen audience imo.

The reason they vary slightly is that the FS Canadian version is distributed by Alliance like the recent Piranha 3D and Kick Ass steels, can't speak for the FS Mocking Jay design but the District 12 steel is embossed and debossed and both are Region A locked
