Price back up to $29.99, from $22.99, typical routine after release date, but FYI.

Yes typical price increase after release date but unusual in that there seems to be no stock anywhere. If anyone sees this in store, you might want to jump on it as this is a rare one for sure.

Mines due soon from here too!

Well done roadie and thank you for your support of HDN through your participation in the group buy. There are still a few spots left for those looking to get a copy then after that, who knows where and when a copy can be secured outside of ebay

 

[roadie]

Appreciate your sentiments!

Just have to bump urbeenjammin's awesome picture of this beautiful steelbook. I suspect this one got two coats of ink and semi-gloss. Bravo Steelbook, Sony and Best Buy! More please

Awesome steelbook! Very tempted to get one even though its region A locked.

Recently purchased a region free blu-ray player from the bay....purchasing this in the GB prompted me, and..... I want some of them Criterion releases our friends across the pond have!

If you are new to collecting, get this now. Trust me you will just want it later and by that time it will be too late and Ebay prices will be way more than the GB. This is a rare Worldwide exclusive G2 US steelbook. One of a kind atm. Dont hesitate. And invest in a region free BD player if you are getting into steel collecting. You will appreciate it a lot!

Well said nkb! For a low print run steelbook from a production factory barely a year old, this baby has got to be the crown jewel of that facility. After hearing of paint chips and slashed spines on the other steels like Les Miserables which I suspect did not come from the same factory as this, I am blown away by its quality everytime I pick this up. Seeing so many with chipped paint on the embossed title of the Target exclusive Bourne steelbooks, I thought I would have seen some on this one with all that white paint and big bold embossed lettering but nada!

Again, I am not pumping this up for my own gain (don't have a trade thread anywhere). I just hate to see collectors regret it down the road when something worthy of any collection is "affordable" at the moment.

Ty all for persuading me to purchase a mutiregion blu ray player,and to join the GB for this film

If you can afford it then do what I do. Buy the steel and then get a cheap 'like new' blu ray amaray of the movie from your region on eBay.

I think I may do this as its an awesome steelbook and definitely worth spending a little extra to get a copy for my region to place in it.

For someone in the us. Is there a good region free blu ray player that's moderately priced? The movie was excellent and was able to snatch a copy of this fine movie before it sold out of my best buy by noon.
