The rest of this steelbook will have to be good to make up for no title on the front, not sure about this release, wish they used one of the other movie posters.

HD Zeta are doing it. I might cancel this now and try and get in on that instead

That's good to know, I hope there are a few premium releases to pick from.

Oh I thought it meant to title on the spine. No title on the front don't bother me unless it does look really bad

 

[BluSteel2012]

What's the odds the back cover will just be a boring continuation of Mars sand/landscape?

Like the disappointing new Scorch Trials steelbook. Fox design some of the most bland steelbooks

Yeah I agree no title on the spine would be worse, they mention that the current title is there on the front because it's on the J-Card.

But it's the WWA ! Many chance there is no title too !

Fox doing a Disney? Another high profile title getting a poor treatment whilst lousy ones get a superior treatment.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Maybe so. But the reply from Scanavo stated the 'the European version' didn't have a title. Maybe other countries will?

If not, at least the HD ZETA release will more than likely have a slip with the title on it......

One can only assume that the French release will be the same and not have a French title/spine.

Amazon hasn't changed for the standard Amaray; still showing February 8th. Weird. Looking forward to getting this and if I have to wait for another year to get it ...

Keeping this as this is the cheapest of all the versions available online.

I saw an HMV link saying all blu rays displayed on their website are Region B, can anyone confirm? I'm in the U.S. and really want this, but I don't have a region-free player.

I can tell you that many FOX blu rays from the UK are region free and there is a good chance that this is as well.

The HMV site will always state region B.

OK, thanks for that.

a title-less spine is unacceptable.

it says a lot that a company thinks its ok to do away with something as vital as a films title, just because it makes it cheaper/easier for them to sell it to different markets.

its lazy and its an insult to everyone.

steelbooks are marketed as a premium product, are priced as such and so should be treated as such.

consumers should demand better.

having no title anywhere on the steel for aesthetic reasons is one thing, but to remove the title merely for marketability is something else.

its simply not good enough.

HMV website now back to February 8th as per OP

 

[Si Michael]

I've pre-ordered this one because I really enjoyed the movie and I like the front. So gutted about it not having the title on the spine though. Such a shame!

 

[Gadget]

For the price, and knowing I'll have it in a couple of weeks, I preordered.

 

[ChrisIW]

Why are steelbooks continually treated like a creepy old paedophile at a family reunion?

Well it looks like everyone is STILL buying this crap DAY ONE even without a title on the spine . Way to stand up to this horse **** guys
