Added Drum18's comparison of UK to French ed to OP-thanks!

Wow, almost bought this from another member thinking it's region A playable. Thank God I stumbled upon this thread.

 

[Corvinus]

Rather, the French edition. English is not pretty. Without artwork printed on the inside back cover is not worth the price.

 

[blumike]

Ya it's not to good, printed back, rating logos, no inside artwork... but still prefer it than the French one because of the English title on front cover

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Any plans for X-Men 2?

Anyways, the front and back in one photo

 

[Iron wolf]

I brought the French one instead because of the embossing.

I'll wait for an eventual re-release for this film. I was never overly impressed with the original SB First Class releases. The UK one was ugly and the France one was nice, but with French text. Hopefully there'll be releases for the entire X-series in order now that X-Men 1 is available.

Fully agree. Never made a move on either. Whoever appoved the UK front cover must have been drunk, high, or both.

Why the hell did they zoom in on that picture and cut off the sides? I ask honestly. Who would do that on purpose?

And the French cover pic is correct, but it's a blankie with French text on the front.

Just unsealed the steelbook to watch. As it said on the back of the steelbook as region A+B but the disc is region B locked. How sad

 

[Jnavotheman]

This was a very disappointing steel, France version is so much better

 

[smokinace]

Yep. The French one top them all. Not to mention the inside artwork.

 

[chronicpoetic]

Yup - got mine recently because my son loves the X-Men and I have all the rest but it is indeed an awful looking steel...

Agreed the French one is a lot nicer looking and comes with the book as well

Just picked a copy of this up for £20 as I'm starting the X-Men collection now.

Arrived this morning - looks brilliant. A couple of marks on the edges but not overly fussed about that.

Me too. That one is PARFAIT

 

[babylon]

saw on entry on BR site for a greek version similar to the french steel book but with the english title. anyone know about this?

 

[fettfan]

One of the worse steels i own

 

[GSlax]

Yep. The French one top them all. Not to mention the inside artwork.

I had that steel in the past and replace it with the French version recently.
