[Frasr]

Triple Play Blu ray / DVD / Digital Copy
Release Date: December 3rd, 2012
Buy Here - £16

Thanks to hmv insider Asushi:

Here's the early artwork for the HMV steelbook, should be up online over the weekend to look at and available to pre-order in a while after that, no price or link yet though I'm afraid.
Same artwork as other regions and likely to have a j-card with no printing on the steel.

to put things in perspective for those who live in the UK .... TDKR HMV was 50k

Actual pics thanks to BluSteel2012:

Wonder which will break first.....
Your spirit ?
Your body ?
or your STEELBOOK!

Dude, It will break your bank balance first.

Sweet. The UK are fairly churning out the steels

I'll get this one as a starter but I do like the broken mask mock-up a lot too.

After all the reports of damamged steelbooks from hmv then surely I can't be the only one seeing the irony with hmv getting the exclusive with this one considering the broken mask artwork

With all great new and catalog titles getting UK releases i dont think we would or the average collector will ever need to buy import titles. Well done HMV and Play for representing.

 

[Starling]

Knew it'd be the same as the German one. Not that I'm complaining though!

Also, it's about time we had an HMV insider... are they signed up here by any chance?

I'm sure there's one tucked away somewhere taking note. We should all remember that there are only 2 UK retailers that do "Exclusive" Steelbooks, a monopoly is never good in any sector. We should all be thankful of any retailer helping to drive the market. I have a feeling that TDKR will be something special.

So recent HMV Exclusive's means what? Massive print runs? Damaged deliveries? No good idea of artwork until it shatters on my doormat?
Luckily the last one might be resolved early if its a worldwide design.

Praise where it is due, yes.......but please HMV, take note of Play and their packaging methods.

If you're worried about it being damaged (and I don't blame you) why not buy it in store?

 

[Kuzco]

I hope they will forgot this ugly blu-banner and avoid to add ugly UK rating logos
I'm probably going to prefer the Amazon one...

I intend to buy all my HMV steelbooks in-store from now on.......or until their packaging improves.

Agree. I went and bought cabin in the woods the other day and picked a mint one out myself.

 

[shejon01]

Really hope we can get a design from somewhere with a black spine to match the amazon.ca ones. Yes, i really am that anal

To the guys who keep referring to blu banner....i can almost guarantee there will be no blue banner...just a mock up as always esp no new rlses have that...i mean whens the last UK rls have a blue banner.

 

[vurt]

I'll pick up a nice minty fresh one in store (less hassle that way!)

HMV exclusive :tear:

That emoticon followed by that statement made me laugh my a$$ off! Im still laughing typing this.

 

[goufcustom]

I'm hoping this is the same as the German steel and the blue banner isn't printed.

+1 fingers crossed... do they still printed the blu-banner these days?

 

[SteelbookedUp]

Price will be interesting with this given how much the German version is.

 

[britmotley]

HMV Exclusive !!! does that mean Steelbook/movie and "nothing else" like the Avengers HMV Exclusive

Sutti, LOL
