As I already have Arrow Video 4K releases I will not be getting the Capelight release

Arrow 4K release also has a lot more disc extras and their SteelBook and SlipBox Amaray Limited Edition releases included both Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut on separate 4K UHD Discs
 
What an ugly Steelbook, why not the theatrical poster?
No single Steelbook has been released in Germany yet and only very few collectors there are likely to have imported the Arrow Steelbook.
 
As I already have Arrow Video 4K releases so I will not be getting the Capelight release

Arrow 4K release also has a lot more disc extras and their SteelBook and SlipBox Amaray Limited Edition releases included both Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut on separate 4K UHD Discs

Capelight Germany release has a lot less extras on the Blu-ray Bonus Disc that is included with both their SteelBooks and Mediabook releases

Just get the Mediabook… :naughty:
Maybe, but then the Mediabook has to have a special finish and the design on the back has to be convincing, the OCP logo would be a good choice here.
But I much prefer Steelbooks to Mediabooks because of the metallic effects, and the content fits here too. Why produce a Steelbook with a boring design?
 
You've got the French steelbook like me :) I wish I'd bought the Arrow one though with the original poster art. It's weird how France puts the title on the spine in a different direction.
Cex still has the standard Arrow steelbook for £22, only difference from memory is a different serial on the spine.
 
I like the 3D letters of the title, they look more fitting, and I didn't buy that Metalpak, or the Arrow UHD releases so soon after getting both their CE box and steelbook versions with BD. So this is great for me - new art and new format.
