New Play.com steelbook packaging

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Yes, they're quite slim. The added layers of foam inside are perfect! I wonder how long it'll be before Amazon, Zavvi, and HMV follow suit? Although if I'm honest, I have never had a problem with HMV's boxes, and have received over 200 SteelBooks in perfect condition over the last few years. It reallyw as PLAY.com that had to improve, and looks like they have finally given us what we wanted!

I hear that Amazon.de has new packaging for SteelBooks, and I believe so does the US, but they have yet to roll it out here in the UK. Maybe now that PLAY.com have upped the ante, they'll make an active effort to match them?

Round 2 (partial - not all have arrived)




I love the wolverine artwork especially the reverse and Taken is really nice

Not to fond where the cardboard strip is for predator though

You must be stealing these from the production line to get them this early!

I'm still waiting for the last batch which were released Monday...

If I receive my SteelBooks on a Friday before release, I consider myself extremely lucky, although most arrive on a Saturday morning. I have never ever received anything on a Wednesday before release!

That's two weeks in a row you've done it. Where's mine?

[davidw]

True - i also normally get them on either the Friday/Saturday - Wednesday is luck personified

BTW guys, this is wave 1 of the FOX / MGM releases, and shouldn't be cconfused with last week's Universal 100th Anniversary wave, or the forthcoming Paramount Centenary wave.

Universal have another wave due out on the 6th of August, and then a third wave due out on the 3rd of September, whereas FOX / MGM haven't announced a second wave yet
