Well, the French steelbook is 100 times nicer in person. The print quality of this new one is quite poor. I'm not usually bothered when a steelbook is matte, but this looks like when you try to print a small image blown up to too large a size. The image is quite low rez, and next to the glossy French one, it looks awful. I think I'll keep both versions of the blu ray though. The new one has a more natural image, but the colours have been changed a bit too much, and they don't look like the original movie any more.

Print looks fine to my eyes, I don't notice any pixelation or anything like that.
 
Had a quick comparison betweem my german + uk editions and i couldnt see much in it. the german has a slight blu hue to it and the uk looks a little more natural,with slight more colour.The print itself looked fine to me i suppose it depends on your personal taste + set up.;)
 
I'm glad I did not keep my HMV order for this (with the money off code)

I don't think it's upgraded enough to justify the double dip on blu. I love this movie, but I'm happy with the last UK blu in the Arnie triple pack. I have the DVD steel and it's pretty much the same steel as this (age rating and text on the back aside.. But I can live with that)

Reading through this thread I expected to regret canning my order. But now I'm very happy :D



BTW HMV sent me a season of south park in that plastic wrap about 2 years ago (digipak). First and only time. Can't believe they would send some of you guys steels in that (my digi turned up 100% mint mind you, but still :twisted:)

I have a lot of other stuff on pre-order from HMV with that code (as i'm sure most of you do). They better get their act together fast. :ohno:

That is crazy!! Ive been buying from Amazon.co.uk for a few years and I have had issue after issue. I probably wont stop because the exclusives but dam I wish they were a little better sometimes. Good Luck dude!
 
I an still waiting on mine from Amazon. I should gave had it on Monday, Another steel I ordered from them that should have been here Wednesday came on Monday. So I am a little worried.
 
Finally received my copy from TheHut.com (dispatched on 20th July). Haven't unsealed it yet but it appears to be in a perfect condition. :cool:
