wont get it unless it goes down to a really good price. not glossy

Well it's hardly going to be included with the HMV Steelie if it's an ASDA exclusive!!

Obviously but I think the information that it will be an ASDA exclusive broke out too late.

I'd say you'll be picking this up for a tenner in a few months alright!

I'd definitely bite at a tenner!

 

[lgans316]

I am sure this will drop to 9.99 on a one day sale provided this doesn't get any other Steelbook release worldwide.

Prince of Persia is a classic example which started selling for silly money when it went OOP.

^^^ was the movie any good peeps? i heard it was decent. seemed to do well at the oscars but then again the oscars can be deceiving, lol.

Again a failure from Disney.

Nope, Disney has his hands on this too. Look at the back. Those feature bars

Amazon also states, Disney.

When Disney is releasing steelbooks, I never got high hopes. Avengers now for example.
German steelbooks carries the same Blu-ray banner.

Disney have done some great jobs on steels, Wall-E, Cars, Ratatouille, Bugs Life, Tron even some Vivas like Incredibles. I think it's just a Disney UK problem

You've lost me lol why you showing POTC when we're talking about War Horse?

Disney has nothing to do with War Horse

edit: Are you talking about the specs/bonus feature layout? if so thats hardly having a hand in this SB

Hey guys, while Spielberg's Dreamworks studios made the film Disney has quite a bit to do with the marketing and distribution (2 different discussions). Since 2009 they've distributed their films in a partnership, and they have significant influence over how the films are marketed and released and receive a share of revenue (i.e based on footage shown to Disney Execs, this film was bumped to Holiday '11 season, etc). See here for more info. And based on footage shown to Disney, Disney execs decided to bump the film to Holiday'11 release.

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Thanks for clearing that up DB - didn't even know that! (clearly)

Either way I'll always have a soft spot for Disney

 

[digitalbabe]

Thanks Blu Steel, added pics to OP. Can't wait for that 7.1 DTS in our sound system, and to enjoy Spielberg's beautiful cinematography and story again.

 

[digitalbabe]

Hey DWT-no problem-there have been many changes in distribution over the years, and all of the sub brands are very complicated. Every few years changes are made!

I showed you Pirates, because Pirates is a Disney movie. The backcover structure is the same Disney uses. That why I showed you Pirates.

Disney is also involved in this. Check Amazon.com:

Here's my War Horse steelbook pics!

It came today with no dents
I reckon it looks really nice IMO!

 

[sunnyx]

Got mine today, shame about the front ratings and printed back, looks very similar to the HMV release of Pirates 4. At least it doesnt have that double play blue banner on the front, they learnt from my feedback I addressed to HMV when I returned it!

 

[fariz]

same in my country. the home video is distributed by Disney
