With this glut of releases of the same titles, it does seem like it is a good time for me to get out of steelbook collecting.Although this version is the art that I like the best, the end of December just seems too long to wait.
Now that there are so many different steelbook versions of 1 new release title (Wonder Woman) and all being released in different months around the world (from September to December) in so many different formats (4K, 2D) (3D, 2D) (R2 D2 - ok not really) I'm wondering if this will become the new normal.
With so many options they don't really seem to be collectible anymore.
Like Pokemon, I just can't catch 'em all.
Even worse is trying to figure out 100% what will play in North America since most releases on European sites now show as Region B more often than before. A few months back it seemed more common to see "All Regions" in the listings. Especially now that Europe gets way more steelbooks than North America and with much better art.
The North American releases are such a let down now they may as well throw in the towel.
I think I'm going to get off of this steelbook crazy train and just go back to amaray.
I mean honestly, the artwork on the amaray is much better than the steelbook art.
In North America anyway.
Just doesn't seem as much fun any more.
I think you guys actually get the better artworks most of the time...
29/12 is just a placeholder: release date should be in octoberAlthough this version is the art that I like the best, the end of December just seems too long to wait.
Hmmmm interesting ideaIf anyone is getting this version along with the other Germany version and thinking about the statue set, this is included in the statue version and combined with the other 4K steel, was only EUR 3.00 for shipping to the US, for me was 187.00 US shipped to the states, kind of killing 2 birds with one stone, rather than getting the statue in a non-steelbook set and still getting both steels, that is if you want all those items....
I believe this has a new release date of November 2nd according to their website.
They sent me an email today about my order notifying me of the earlier delivery.

Why not just buy a blu ray player that plays all regions?
Wonder Woman is distributed by Warner and it is their policy not to region lock their Blu-ray discs. These will all be region free.Even worse is trying to figure out 100% what will play in North America since most releases on European sites now show as Region B more often than before.

Get yourself a Seiki - Mine works a treat ;-)I have considered that but so far I really don't like the prices I've seen from online retailers.
My current Blu-ray player is a Sony that I purchased used a couple years back for $35.00 Canadian.
