There's possibility that this would be locked Region B as Fox releases tend to be locked.

That's correct - and further to the point - the last X-Men related title released in France in steeelbook (Wolverine) was region B locked.

Pre-ordered this together with the Priest, Mummy Trilogy a few more.
Notice their shipping cost has increase tremendously. Is it across the board ? Or just overseas shipping ?

Did you choose express shipping? This is now done by UPS, so that might account for your increase in cost.

It appears to be G2, but we have no confirmation at this time. The Canada release has been confirmed as another type metal packaging, not a steelbook.

You can read more about it here.

SO if this is region b locked does that mean it will not play on us playstation 3

 

[digitalbabe]

Angelo, yes, that is correct.

 

[angelo07stang]

Angelo, yes, that is correct.

Thanks for the quick response man I really wanted this I guess I can buy a bluray player that plays all regions. The United states needs to get more steelbooks dont know why we dont get no love in the states.

Hi Angelo-yes, and hopefully we'll get more. You can always check to confirm whether it's actually "locked" (though Fox almost always locks it's BD, I believe). There are a couple hundred Steelbooks released around the world-you can check out the country-specific list here http://www.bluraysteelbooks.com/steelbook-list/.

Any with a little globe are confirmed region free. But, always feel free to ask-welcome to the site!

Just order it on amazon.fr
hope it will be G2.

If I were you, I wouldn't order it on amazon.fr before knowing if FNAC will release an exclusive one (with booklet, pictures...).

FNAC exclusives are always the most valuable french steels.

If fnac release an exclusive i will order it and cancel my amazon order. But for now, there nothing planned on la fnac, so i just ordered at amazon because the price is lower for this edition.

 

[n3wk1d]

same here, I'll order from FNAC again anytime if it do gets an exclusive release.

[angelo07stang]

Is there any xmen first class steel books coming to the us or any that will be region free to ship to us if not I will just order the regular off amazon.

I was thinking is there some kind of petition we can start to get steel books made in the united states you would think givin the choice a buyer would choose steel book over regular case any day of the week.

 

[digitalbabe]

Hi Angelo-feedback is gathered and passed on to our direct contacts in this industry regularly. Rest assured you're not the only person that wishes to have more Steelbooks released in the USA. No, at this point, there are no plans for a Steelbook(TM) for North America, but this could always change. Stay tuned to the threads, and you'll be among the first to know
