Official word from ES:

We’re certainly planning to continue doing all future seasons of The Walking Dead in steelbook with matching artwork – it looks likely season 4 will be out in September 2014 as it follows the same pattern as Game of Thrones (i.e. the new season hits DVD and Blu-Ray just before the new season starts).

We’ve been told that the steelbooks will feature in the US Walking Dead magazine, so likely to be quite a bit of international interest for these.

The Entertainment Store is pleased to announce our latest exclusive steelbook releases: Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of The Walking Dead, AMC’s Emmy Award winning TV series.

Each season features world exclusive artwork by Mark Simpson AKA Jock, who is responsible for some of best regarded comics and art of this generation, having worked on 2000AD, The Losers and Hellblazer amongst others as well as producing artwork for many major film studios, including the artwork for HDN Steelbook of the Year 2012 winner The Raid.

The Walking Dead: Season 1 (Entertainment Store Exclusive Blu-Ray Steelbook):

- 2 Blu-Rays discs
- Debossed Title Treatment
- G2 Standard Steelbook case
- Limited to 4,000 copies worldwide
- Finish TBC

The Walking Dead: Season 2 (Entertainment Store Exclusive Blu-Ray Steelbook):

- 3 Blu-Rays discs
- Debossed Title Treatment
- G2 Standard Steelbook case

The Walking Dead: Season 3 (Entertainment Store Exclusive Blu-Ray Steelbook):

For those that keep asking if we know the prices yet:

Thats tomorrow people, you can wait one more day to find out :p
 
Be interesting to see the price points on these. I hate to be negative but with this being an ES release I can see these being quite pricey which will price me out of these, especially when you can pick up the regular amarays relatively cheap now.

However, it's great news for HDN to break the news on these

Agree, except about the price of the regular amarays - they came in at £65 when I checked yesterday.

And just found out I'm in a conference from 9.30am until 3.30pm tomorrow so won't be around to order even if I have a moment of madness!! EEK!

You should be OK, I can't see people buying multiples of these given the cost. I bet they'll be available a while.

The 1-3 box set is only £52 (no way can I see these steelies being anywhere near that price IMO), plus with Black Friday coming up soon I can see the individual sets going cheap, especially in the US

Yes, sorry I meant the individual amarays.

Yep, think these three steels will come in around £90 :(

Here's my estimations -

Season 1 - £29.99

Season 2 - £34.99

Season 3 - £49.99

Would love to be proved wrong but with ES' track record and the exclusive artwork I think they are gonna be pricey

cant believe that anyone is happy with those artworks.. they look even far worse than those reel steel collection.. no way ill buy this for ANY price

Well ES have only done one Entertainment One title so far, 2 Guns and that was reasonably priced at £17.99. So I wouldn't bet on the price being extortionate like everybody is predicting here.

Thats near enough to what I was thinking.

Season 1 (2 Discs) - (amaray £19) so guess - £24.99 - £26.99

Season 2 (3 Discs) - (amaray £22) so guess - £26.99 - £32.99

Season 3 (5 Discs) - (digipack £30) so guess - £39.99 - £46.99

Some of those amaray prices are n the high side

Season 1 (2 Discs) - amaray is £12.49 @ WOWHD

Season 2 (3 Discs) - amaray is £14.49 @ WOWHD

Not relevant to this but a good price - Season 1 & 2 is £21.39 @ Base.com

Season 3 (5 Discs) - £30 is right, cheapest is £29.99
 
I've not bought a steelbook for a few months but these might be too hard to resist. I'll probably get the 1st and 2nd seasons and just stick with the digipack for season 3.

Awesome news though!!! Well played ES. Hopefully we see some more TV releases from them after these.
 
I think cooey has got this spot on.

If so, then unfortunately I'll have to pass, as that is far too high for what looks like 2 cut seasons
