Three arrived today and I can only say a big thanks to Play. Each one in shrink wrap, in a cardboard box with foam padding inside and then all three in a big padded Play box. All three perfect with discs.

I have so pre-ordered them both and Shooter and Saving private Ryan. Cancelled my The Thing pre-order though as it has been confirmed as a Horizontal release.

lol I was just thinking the same thing, it's just a shame that The Incredible Hulk is printed horizontally and wouldn't match the rest!

I know right! That's the only downside to it that I can see!

13th August, quite possibly the most anticipated Steelbook release date yet !

Iron Man 1 & 2 plus Saving Private Ryan

i told you, i told you all!

it should be embossed - basically its the play exclusive dvd steelbook, but shrunk to g2 size steel. its the same as futureshop except no blue banner.

wish i knew about iron man 2 before i bought the german one, just arrived today lol, and its only 1 disc so thats getting sold now.

august 13th is going to be sweet, or maybe a day or two prior if we are lucky. the iron man uk might become the one the rest of the world want.

So is the first one going to be 2 disc with The Invincible Iron Man: Origins / Friends & Foes / The Definitive Iron Man / Demon In A Bottle / Extremis And Beyond / Ultimate Iron Man or just the movie, either way I will still be getting both, just asking as I cant see any information about what is coming with it

I like the UK one, but it looks nothing like the Futureshop blu ray steelbook. They are completely different.

I really wish they'd just get the art up for The Thing as I don't mind it being horizontal, but I want to know what it looks like before I order it! I can't imagine the Struzan art working very well if they hack it down to make it landscape ratio (basically, it wouldn't work at all) and the UK quad posters never used the US art, they had lovely custom art by Les Edwards.

I would KILL for this if they used the Les Edwards art.

Ordered two copies of each of the four new ones. I think these will definitely be OOS before release (though I thought that about the last lot), so I don't want to risk getting a damaged copy.

Reasonably priced steelbooks that are really nice to look at?

It's enough to make me want to start collecting again.

What are the chances of them being matte? I hate matte.

Slim to none, every paramount steel I have is glossy and usually embossed. Thor, star trek, captain America, mission impossible and super 8 all are paramount.

Actually one german is matte, but yeah the rest are some of the best uk steels around.

Well the back is the same and inside I think. The uk DVD steel is the same as futureshop anyway.

I'm pretty sure these new ones will have a glossy finish too. I don't recall an embossed steelbook that is matte. I also think that matte finishes loose their paint more easily which is a possible reason why you don't see them embossed. I think every steelbook should be glossy.
