What's with the release date being on a Wednesday rather than the usual Monday date?

Ah - another site is quoting JUNE 14th, which is a Monday so sounds more feasible.

I see you've changed it now - it was saying JULY 14th originally! lol

 

[Mararagan]

will have it

Will never beat the play.com glossy and embossed steelbook. This will probably be matte and flat like the recent American 4K steelbook

I think your mistaken the recent US release was full gloss had colour inside art and superior rear art with full size image , the only thing missing was bossing.

Going by recent Paramount UK releases they've mirrored US so seen no reason why this won't be full gloss.

The Hunt for Red October - Gloss
Sonic the Hedgehog - Gloss
Ferris Bueller - Gloss
Airplane - Gloss
Clueless - Gloss
Top Gun - Gloss
Coming to America - Gloss
Friday the 13th Part 2 - Matte

I was going to order this but had to check to see if i owned it and i have the play exclusive from years back, so rather pointless as looks the same steelbook.
Had it been something different then i might have grabbed it.

Why can't we get the classic 50's one. That's the one I want

I thought this was going live at 12pm for red carpet?

Same here. But I've heard that Paramount currently have no intentions of releasing it on 4K UHD blu-ray, even though it has been remastered in 4K HDR and is available on iTunes in 4K HDR.

It was - I've just been on live chat and they've said there's been a problem which they're hoping to resolve "within the next hour"...

And that one is embossed while this and USA one isn't.

 

[TGO]

So I take it those of us with the embossed steel from years ago are skipping this?
The back is different and the inlay is in colour but I don't think it warrants a repurchase, just wait for the standard release to drop in price and add it to the existing Steel

Still not live for Red Carpet members..
