UK Horizontal Play.com Wave News and Poll

***Please see separate threads to discuss individual Steels/see inside/back art***

View attachment 6580In this thread, you voiced your opinion. I passed it on to all the powers that be and Hi-Def Ninja's voice seemingly has been heard.

While I cannot say they have switched from landscape (horizontal) to portrait (vertical). I can say that the quality of this batch is heading into a MORE than acceptable and reasonable solution.

There are some cheap, done horribly landscape titles out there. But there are also some magnificent must own ones as well. (Monsters, DE - Book of Eli, DE come to mind)

Here is the news that makes me excited to see what these all will look like regarding this wave. I would rather have quality made horizontal's then the exact same art from the German wave.

they may well be able to do internal artwork on these too which combined with the removable taco card with the tech specs on should give these a very polished look. There may also be some debossing on some of them too, I’m imagining the title treatment but I don’t know for sure.

I've also been given a sneak peek at one of the titles, so let me know what you think about this one and the others if given this level of art quality for the rest of the wave.

If you like, chime in with which titles you'd like to see debossing on this wave and who knows ... it might just happen.

I asked a friend of mine to pick all 6 of them for me. I wanted all except for Hellboy II, than I thought hell why not..just because I already have Hellboy (DE) and Hellboy II (FR). What's one more at that price...

[Noodles]

A part of me is hoping the second part of this wave won't be available until next year... I'm struggling enough trying to save up for their (Play.com) current steels.

I think they're gonna have to do them this year as it's 100th Anniversary but they have Olympics to consider as well, and all the dross they can churn out for that as don't forget play do do more than just CD's/DVD's/Blu's etc. Also we are getting into a mini September wave with other titles too. My guesstimate would be early October which will have given chance for wallet to heal a bit as well.
