It would be nice if the Asian countries were to get this artwork for their Steelbook releases. It's the same as used for the standard Blu-ray and DVD releases in the UK and Germany. I have a feeling, however, that this will end up being identical to the Italian and Czech Steelbooks, which is a shame as I have no problem double dipping when alternate artwork is available.

Is this this a movie worth getting let alone an Asian Releasea?

it's in the book series line in the likes of Divergent, Hunger Games.... I was somewhat disappointed about the movie, the book is probably better but I still enjoyed it. It's not great but I thought it was ok... now is it worth owning the Steel taiwan ?, I believe so... there will be a film series of this(if it did well in theatre) so I am hoping second movie is better than fiirst and there will be probably a steel for the 2nd movie... if there will be a 2nd movie I don't want to miss out on first steel. but I thought the movie wasn't that bad it is just I was expecting more of the Maze scenes that they gave us as I love Mazes...

In a word, yes! Not a great movie but certainly a good one which I found both interesting and entertaining, with good performances from its young cast.

As @Actarus wrote above, it's of that ilk that includes "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent". Tastes differ but I preferred it to "Divergent" which I found to be pretentious. Conversely, it didn't have the depth of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" but that's just my opinion.

Why not go for the Italian Steelbook? The artwork will probably be the same as the Taiwan edition. The price on amazon.it has been fluctuating between EUR 20 - 25 and is currently, at the time of writing this post, listed at EUR 20.78. That includes Italian VAT at 22% which will be removed for non-EU customers, bringing the price down to EUR 17 which equates to about (USD) $20.74. Surely a bargain for North American members.

@augustus thanks for your detailed tip. I prefer JSDVD because 1) they bubblewrap each release multiple times, and use a sturdy box. Plus they work with cutomers in comibining others. If I ordered this from amazon.it, chances are it would be delivered in an A1 envelope with no bubble wrap and a possibility of damage.

This is my first order with JSDVD, hope everything goes well. Now the question is will the artwork be different than the Amazon.it version?

Steelbook is probably gonna be WWA so same as every country, the special thing about Taiwan though is that they make the nicest looking 1/4 slip that always goes very well with the steel... much thought is put in the slip !

Thanks I pre-ordered the Italy version but now might cancel it.
