Just out of curiosity has HMVs packaging changed, do they not use the cardboard box any more?

Hit and miss at the moment as they're changing warehouses I believe.
Some have reported jiffy bags, others boxes.

Ok thanks, i hope they do go back to the boxes. Whilst they werent perfect they did seem to protect a lot better than the jiffy bags.

Thanks for the pics Tiger

Looks like a great steelbook! Hoping mine arrives tomorrow

Are you going to do a short review

 

[cooey]

Video review? I do keep meaning to try some steelbook video reviews. I haven't done any since my collectibles.

Another HMV copy that has not turned up, and will most likely arrive around Tuesday if I am lucky, and I bet it's a flimsy jiffy bag with at least a dent or two. Sometimes I regret going for the 20% deals because their service sucks so bad at the moment

 

[snooloui]

Me too. Wish I hadn't been so tight and just gone with Play or Amazon. I pray that it somehow arrives in mint condition.

 

[cooey]

Have faith chaps, we'll be alright

Just tried it through my Optoma projector and not that impressed with the picture quality, there's so much grain and distortion it looks like a bad VHS copy. I just also put on my French steelbook and the picture quality is so much better - strange!

the guy that did the review that was posted hadn't even seen the French or German BR of Recall. I was like "how is this guy doing the review when he doesn't even know what the previous releases looked like."

The steelbook looks pretty nice though. I might actually pick it up now that I know what it looks like. I was afraid of logos and "Ultimate Rekall Edition" being printed on it.

So is there any difference at all then in the transfer between the old French Steelbook release and this new one???

From what I understand yes, the new transfer was better, leaving a noticeably sharper picture.

Unless HMV deliver the post in your area, I fail to see how this is their fault.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Some clearer pics for those who want to see it....

The booklet......

 

[snooloui]

Awesome, thank you. Would've preferred a lossy finish, but this is nice enough I guess.
