UK SteelBook has 3 cuts of the film all in 4Kcome on, the uk edition is over 50USD with current exchange rates.. you think the extra cut is worth 2,5 the price? and what about the extra slipcover you get with the US.. theres no defending imo
the artwork isnt objectively better lol.. if anything people sway towards this edition and those liongates are usually a much much nicer package visually than any uk counterpart (slip design+finish)UK SteelBook has 3 cuts of the film all in 4K
The Final Cut / Theatrical Cut/Director's Cut
4 Discs (2 x UHD and 2 x Blu-ray)
UK SteelBook artwork is better
I like both but I do think the U.K. art is better imo. Uses the colours I like most toothe artwork isnt objectively better lol..
*you* think that its better *imo*.. thats fair enough.. i dont.. and its a valid point to assume the us one will have nicer finish and a more intricate design with the slipcover, so i dont see a reason to charge more for subjectively better art.. that was my whole pointI like both but I do think the U.K. art is better imo. Uses the colours I like most too
There were in-hands copies of this sold on ebay already, so no it will be released and people started receiving them alreadyI pre-ordered this a couple months ago and just had the order cost refunded, with no notification about it from BB (saw the credit on my card transactions). The listing page for this steelbook on their site now says "Coming Soon" rather than "Pre-order", which is both odd and not a good sign for it actually being released. Since they announced they're phasing out all physical media soon, I'm thinking they just canceled this release entirely. Either that or it didn't sell enough to justify the release actually happening.
Just checked, and it’s available to order for me. I suspect they didn’t have enough copies in your distribution region, so your order got cancelled and that’s why it’s not allowing you to order moreI pre-ordered this a couple months ago and just had the order cost refunded, with no notification about it from BB (saw the credit on my card transactions).

Lionsgate are phasing out physical media??I pre-ordered this a couple months ago and just had the order cost refunded, with no notification about it from BB (saw the credit on my card transactions).

No, but Bestbuy are.Lionsgate are phasing out physical media??
They have different distribution localities, so not everything can be shipped everywhere. I’m located near NYC. Very often I’m not able to order some steelbooks, while my friends are able to order them in Florida or West Coast etc.Wow, thanks for the follow up. And that's some serious BS. I don't see why where I'm located would make any difference since items could be shipped from anywhere. It wasn't even supposed to be released until the 17th anyway, so I'm wondering how people are already receiving them. I'm gonna be pissed if I can't get one because of this and it sells out (though I'd be kinda surprised about that).
Where are you located that you are able to order one, if you don't mind saying?
