I am more interested in knowing which cut of the movie would be in this release

Err... It's stated on the Steelbook itself?

Oy! What was I looking at?

Okay, so how good is Amazon Japan? Do they pack and ship everything real nice and secure? Also, how long does a shipment take to reach the US?

AMZN JP is very good (they use boxes and solid wrappings) and very fast (Global DHL with signature) hence they have one of the highest shipping rates.

is this artwork used in any other SB? i'm seeing them release a whole lot of similar styled artwork for JP released SB (Matrix, Bladerunner etc). so am wondering if this artwork is just limited to JP.

There's a whole set of TEN Japanese releases releasing 12.21.2011.

EDIT: Also if your looking for similar artwork you can find it at the Amazon.de (Premium Collection), but I don't think they are SteelBooks.

Specifically for steelbooks - no. However for Blu-rays, yes, they are part of the WB Blu-Ray Platinum Collection for the Australian (and maybe Asian) market and the German Premium Collection Blu-rays. The latter collection is in itself quite an exquisite digibook set.

thanks for the info. sigh.... i'm trying to hold back on SB purchases but gotta admit with 2001, Matrix and Bladerunner, those are my fave sci-fi movies and it's making it hard to resist.

sigh.

Aren't we all? It is quite an addiction I tell ya! I am hoping Amazon.JP would surprise us by adding the booklets from the German Digibook Premium Collection in these steelbooks. Wouldn't that be something?

So this was a digibook first??

^There are Digibooks released in Germany that have the same cover art as these Steelz.

You could get 2001 and Blade Runner cheaper from amazon.ca if you like that artwork.

Yup! It is still available for purchase...nice looking huh? The rest of the collection can be seen here - link

Amazon.ca has steelbooks with the same artwork for 2001 and Shawshank but I think this Blade Runner artwork is exclusive to the German digibook and this Amazon.JP release. Just saying...

I am only getting the white amazon.jp steels for this wave. They are exclusive to Amazon.JP only.

What about Inception? It might not be white but it is definitely exclusive art to Amazon.JP.

I have a strong suspicion that the writing on this one will be embossed.

Blade Runner is my favourite film of all time, I already have the 5 disc bluray amray, the 5 disc DVD tin (which is really nice) and now this one on pre-order. I’m such a sucker, but I could not buy the .ca release.

I’ve got high hopes for this .jp wave

You know it. And I hope the illusion of the embossed title is not intentional and be exactly on the cover. The one thing that destroys my hope of embossment is the list prices of these titles. For Amazon.jp, anything resembling high end quality usually gets a 5000 yen premium - look at Thor which has an embossed title.

Oh yes. Forgot about the odd man out. LOL.
