well I guess this could potentially lead to a bit of discussion, so maybe leave it here... theyre so very similar now anyways

looks like steelbook.. probably due to copyright they have to call it steelcase. The image doesnt seem to have the futurepak spine.

its supposed to be released yesterday but theres no actual photos of the product on internet yet

and dont think theres gonna be any discussion of this if this thread is in futurepak lol

Afaik the Steelbook patent expired a while ago. Scanavo still holds the copyright for the name, but not the patent anymore.

Could be the first (of many?) Steelbook clones?

I like that

Not interested in a fake steelbook but I like the art

Decent film this. Second Sight had a release of this didn't they?
I'd like to think this steelbook will be clean but that amount of black worries me. Could be streaky central. It's 50/50 these days.

As it's no Steelbook it will not have a streaky print. So it's more like 100/0, isn't it?

Semantics.
I can taste the streaky bacon from all the way over here.
