Is there a difference between UK and USA? Pics look the same to me.

Is there a difference between UK and USA? Pics look the same to me.

Yeah, it's the same, besides the ratings logos and the price.

 

[paulboland]

Is there a difference between UK and USA? Pics look the same to me.

USA releases dont have BBFC age ratings on packaging or discs

UK steelbook is Zavvi Exclusive

USA steelbook is with select retailers

Arrow Video UK and USA releases are always separate releases

Zavvi USA sells Arrow Video USA releases

 

[Lenny Nero]

Seems Amazon isn't listing either of these. Do you think it'll remain an Arrow and Zavvi 'exclusive', not counting those 'boutique label' resellers (Grindhouse & Diabolik)?

You do count Grindhouse and DiabolikDVD as they are USA retailers.

This is why Arrow provide purchase links for those USA retailers when announcing their USA releases

Some steelbooks releases are from select retailers only or can be trade wide or be exclusive to just 1 retailer

Wild Things
The Amaray editions are trade wide

The USA steelbook are with select retailers Arrow Video/DiabolikDVD/Grindhouse/Zavvi USA

The UK steelbook is exclusive to Zavvi UK

Arrow Video UK and Arrow Video USA are always seperate releases

So you think I shouldn't expect to see the steelbook version on Amazon?

Grindhouse and Diabolik are selling only boutique labels' titles, so I can't count them as proper trade wide retailers. Simple test of a 'popular' title of Spider-Man reveals zero editions on either site, and Grindhouse doesn't even have The Godfather (DiabolikDVD has 1 OOS listing).

Grindhouse Video and DiabolikDVD are USA retailers that sell select label releases
Some are USA releases or imports

There is also in UK some UK retailers that only sell select UK labels releases as in they don't sell every UK release

UK
Wild Thing Steelbook is a Zavvi Exclusive

USA
Wild Things Steelbook is with Arrow Video USA/DiabolikDVD/Grindhouse Video/Zavvi USA
Those USA retailers are selling the Arrow Video USA release not the UK release


If you not aware DiabolikDVD sometimes gets exclusives from Arrow Video in regards to USA releases as in not sold by any other retailer


DVD/Blu-ray/UHD releases can be trade wide or with select retailers only or be exclusive to just one retailer

Should be getting mine tomorrow. This shipped super early. I’m excited.

Not mine

Definitely like the other version better. I can't stand the thick pink logo on this one.

It has original artwork on the reversible cover and poster. New artwork looks great. It's a shame the booklet has the same art as the cover but I still like it better.

Not my video.

Ordered from Grindhouse per that video unboxing, since they already have it in stock. About $7 more expensive, than waiting on Zavvi, but I never know now if a prepaid card I'm using will work, so it's better if the store charges right away.

I like the other slip as well, might just buy it later, the cheapest non-4k version, since it's one of the first favorite childhood movies.

 

[Flloydo]

I thought this would have a bit more spot gloss instead instead of just the purple title

 

[Bjarkan]

Another unboxing with good lights. Not my video.

I got my slip today together with true romance, these slips are awesome, perfect to disguise the lame art on the Steelbooks tho lol, I just don’t get it why not to put the art of the slips on the actual Steelbooks to begin with…

Because then people might just buy the steelbook and not the whole package with the slip.

 

[apsmith21]

Looks to be a price drop today at Zavvi UK if anyone delayed picking this up.

Or came to this thread to see more Denise Richards…
