I would love to get this one... but i dont think this would be the extended version... but this is one I will buy...

 

[pdbluray]

Keeping it british i like it.

Wrong thread mate, probably wrong forum too

Artwork isn't too bad, not amazing and i'll be happy if it has a glossy finish.

EDIT/ Ouch MATRON !!!

Very funny!

Didn't realise how that could be taking the wrong way....

 

[liammurphy1985]

Loving the artwork, ideally without the banner though! And it doesn't say 3D anywhere...

Has an Extended version be confirmed at all or not? I think that'll be my big deciding factor on whether I get this or not.

Amazon.co.uk exclusive!!!!

An extended edition has been confirmed, but will be released at a later date (probably Q4). It will be 20-25 mins longer than the theatrical cut, confirmed by Peter Jackson. I believe what takes the longest to prepare are the supplementary features and the localisation.

Perhaps also worth noting for people who look forward to sneak peeks: breaking from the tradition of the Lord of the Rings DVDs, there will be no preview of either the extended edition or The Desolation of Smaug with this release.

Amazon.co.uk exclusive!!!!

For me exclusive is something unique. But it has the same art as a German one. The best art is check 3d and French

Then you must a Japan hater just like me?

I know about the exclusive thing, but it's nice to see Amazon has the right on this.

I just don't like the cover art and nothing stands out on it, Looks like its going to be the MM one for me.

 

[Maccadinho25]

It has the hobbit on which is a good start...

 

[karma2578]

I wish this had the French Bilbo cover

 

[DJHilalo]

I love the blu-banner on this even though the artwork is okey-ish, but will wait it out and see if Asia comes up with something special first

 

[Xavier]

Unless best buy gets this looks like ill get the UK one

 

[timban]

good news - it's great to see amazon.co.uk going for the exclusives!!!

That said will wait to see what FS do before deciding what to go for

 

[SaberTooth]

"Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk"

finally. now get on with UK editions of all those amazon.de exclusive steelbooks please :movie:

 

[yurydalkou]

as someone said before here it looks like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret.

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

Wow such dull artwork, seriously at least the French ones have a more premium look with regards to the image choices!

Then I shall wait for the Extended edition. As much as I love steelbooks, I have to say the extended version will no doubt have way more in extras if the old LOTR 4 disc sets are anything to go by.

 

[Man of Steel]

Really disappointed in the design. Poor effort!
