A bit disappointed about no artwork inside but otherwise, a very nice steelbook

Nice video dvdjunkie, thanks for posting it. I agree on the size of the mocking Jay, the uk is too small, FS is too big, if only there was another bear

What annoys me is the price. Drive and devils double are the last 2 hmv exclusives that had no inside art. They were £13 and £12 respectively. I appreciate they were both single disc, but this is an £18 release, that's pretty much top dollar in the uk for a bluray.

So close, clean front and back, disc art all I needed was a nice inside print. Seeing as the FS version in region locked, I'll keep this. 7.1 sound also get a thumbs up here

Got mine delivered to work this morning in HMV's bog standard cardboard packaging which from the looks of it had been dropped twice yet the steelbook was in mint condition. Has for the steelbook it's ok i've had better HMV exclusive's before. The front could of had a bigger mocking bird and more vibrant in colour, same goes for the back, the title could of been debossed, i won't even mention the inside art. Now the spine is nice and the the J-card well it's one of the best J-card's i've seen.

But all in all I'm happy that I own the film in a steelbook at the bargain price of £14.40 and not have to pay the ridiculous import price's for the Canadian versions.

But i do believe HMV need to be stopped in getting these steelbook exclusives in the UK and give them to play.com. Rant over.

Lionsgate need to be reminded of how great their Hurt Locker steelbook was, and keep it at that standard.

Oh，XX！No inside art!

 

[stevo]

i like the silver inside artwork

Hahaahaha good one! Now thats my kinda humor lol. But seriously, looks like there aren't many fans of no inside artwork. Looks like I wasn't mistaken about the FS version having a bigger mocking jay, and much bigger and brighter flames either.

I do like the cover of this one but shame about no inside artwork!

I like it. The back is better than FS for me.

I've got all 3 now, and they are all very different from each other. But I have to say, they all have their own attractive qualities.

HMV UK - Feels proportionate with a quality feel, but no inside art (Zone B)
Canadian MJ - Oversized Mockinjay, maybe too big? (Zone A)
Canadian D12 - Is a beauty, especially with the embossing (Zone A)

Being a HMV exclusive and such a big title how can they use no inside artwork. Even the new play steelbook have inside artwork and there much cheaper.

Received mine today, and I guess I'm in the minority here, but I'm very happy with it!

Nice exterior art with no rating logos or printed info, three discs, decent price (£14.40 if you used the promo code). Will probably add my own interior art, so no complaints here.

Still not received mine yet, postman been & gone.

 

[Man of Steel]

I gotta wait until I get home to see if it's arrived.... I'm gonna be pissed if it hasn't!

 

[vonnie]

got mine too, has a nice heavy feel and the mocking jay cover against the black background works well.

Not received mine this morning, only Jaws arrived! Jaws was posted out after Hunger Games DOH!!

Incidentally I was in HMV Lakeside Yesterday and they had loads on the shelf, but the were £18 each DOUBLE DOH!!

 

[Man of Steel]

What is with HMV? This is not on! When you pre-order an item way in advance the least they can do is post it out on time.... Not get it 2 days after release!

Mine arrived today - finally!

Not just HMV at fault here, you have to give some credit to the postal service. i mean mine was shipped last wednesday and turned up yesterday. i remember when the post used to always be on the floor before yuo woke up. now mine arrives between 2 to 3 in the afternoon.

but back to the steelbook.

i really do like mine. it looks so simple yet theres something about it that does make it look very nice.
