Im not opening it as either way its OOP and gotta be worth hanging on to

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

Says region A/B on Box

Also that white stretch that looks like camera backlash on the rear cover appears to be a searchlight type thing...

 

[fariz]

not so good looking sb compared to the french edition
not perfect round, seems like stretched, makes it worse
but, it's OOP. maybe the rarity makes this sb looks good?

anyone know the actual region of this sb? the back said AB, but the disc stated B

 

[surfury]

All that we were expecting have arrived. Thought I'd cracked one open and to be honest it's OK. Noticed that the one I've openned has a dint front centre and the bottom of the back panel bulges down a bit.

[terry44]

Any one else have a small spot of ink missing?
It was a lump but when I rubbed it it came off leaving missing paint,Got no chance of a replacement as play have sold out

 

[Chief]

Play.com, your one-stop shop for ugly Steels. Preorder your copy of Rise of the Planet of the Apes now!.. >;]

 

[Henke007]

The letters on the front in Xaviers and Youngsters are cut off . The French one has the whole circle intact

Only thing missing is the Double/Tripple Play banner

 

[DK06CTR]

one thing i have noticed is play has changed there shipping my packets today now say 2nd class jersey post were as they were using 1st class, says why we had the delay getting these so even dissapointing with the shipping suspected as much when they now say it costs for express or 1st class

 

[Il Furiano]

I have delete my order, better the French.

 

[terry44]

Just ordered the French version as I feel a bit let down with the printed BBFC logos (and the paint chip on the front cover)

 

[Pud1804]

Very disappointed with this Add this to the fact I am still waiting for my JP Tin doubt if I will shop at play any more

 

[Vaako]

i cancelled my rise of the planet of the apes steelbook from play.com , not taking the risk to be disappointed again

 

[apsmith21]

Could have been worse - at least it's printed art on the steelbook. :movie:

If this is all we had (and didn't have the French one for comparison), would you guys still be AS disappointed?

Just curious...

 

[DK06CTR]

i think people may have swung differently if the french one didnt excist.

 

[MayFlower]

this steelbook is picture as advertised...play.com didn't do anything wrong.

I would be pissed if Play sent a metalpak instead of a steelbook for false advertising.

In the future, don't order a movie until after seeing actual pictures or else you'll disappoint yourself again.

I'm sure all of us have many steelbook with no artwork inside and printed text in the back.
The rating logo is a given from UK.

I think it looks fine folks....at least they didn't print a new title "TRIPLE PLAY" on the top.

Just to let you know that the France version is not perfect either...I found a flaw in it as well...like reverse spine title...oh well....

Great post mate!

 

[spawnshop]

What's there doesn't disappointing me too much, it's whats not there - the inside artwork. For the price, this thing should at least have that...

 

[Andrewtst]

This steelbook look awful. Nothing beauty on it at all.

For me and maybe other people here who lived at region outside B and not have all region blu-ray player, probably still will choose this UK edition.. As we know before that the French have region B locked, so I ordered this UK with expectations it will be free region (but now I still confuse with what region it is)
Damn, I just need a steelbook with a good film in it to watch, why is it so difficult
FS metal box canceled, French region locked, and now this UK come with uncertain region

 

[o0 Deuce 0o]

great post buddy, theres nothing wrong with this steelbook and its still a play exclusive so you have the choice of this or the french. I think most collectors wont even open theres so whats the fuss about inside artwork, is it knowing there is some insde even though you will never open it? lol.
