Now that I know this is as mass produced as the first, Amazon order cancelled. No way I'm paying above £14 for a matte finish.

This will drop in price same as the first one, will pick it up then.

Just got mine!

I would prefer to see Katniss on the left, with Peeta on the right covered by the discs.

Yep that's what I thought soon as I saw it! Star of the film should be on the clear side and ugly bloke covered by the discs lol.

I just don't understand this mentality. It's almost like saying "if other people can get it, I don't want it."

I want it but not at the price they are charging at the moment. Got nothing to do with rarity, I didn't purchase the first one till it dropped below the £10 mark. Cheaply produced matte steels which this is aren't worth £20. For £20 I expect nothing less than full gloss perfection.

HMV allowed to sell this between 12-2pm tomorrow - Sunday £17.99

Really disappointed with this. Far to similar to the first one.

Then you don't understand marketing....

They WANT you to lift the discs to see Katniss. By lifting the discs, it might urge you to watch the movie

Once you've bought it, does it really make a difference to lionsgate how often you watch it?

I have to agree with you there. Once you bought it they don't give a rat's ass what you do with it!!

 

[Steelselecta]

Got mine today, goes quite well with the first one!!

Nice steelbook. Sometimes more is less!

May pick this up at some point.

 

[BluRaySteve]

Posties been and gone and nothing today and with St Patricks day on Monday it'll be at least tuesday now. So much for watching it tonight!

 

[Kizza]

Match made in heaven i think. I hope the next one follows suit. Look perfect together.

Here's my video review. I also compare the first steelbook with this one. Also subs and audio or lack of them are listed. I have to say the DTS logo before the film starts is pretty cool.

 

[AmarD1981]

I love it when they put the audio trailer before the film, I always wait until the end of avatars credits (or just skip forward usually) to hear the THX outro, they're real sound system testers. The one before art of flight is my fave!
Laserdiscs always used to have them at the start of the film.

Anyways...Steel looks great, will sit nicely with the first. I ordered from amazon with free shipping so I won't have it till next week but looking forward to re watching the film.

Now. This is what you call a proper old school matte finish. Theres a good undercoating under this paint job because the finishing is spot on, which you will see in the close ups.

All images can be clicked on for a closer view. They are all high res and can be viewed at full scale.

Below are shots to help show the finishing on the steel.

Looks awesome. Love that it matches the first.

How does the preordering work for steelbooks in HMV? All steelbooks are on display and are open, plastered in stickers.. When you preorder are you letting them keep the steelbook until release day? Or what? Lol
