Showing as EUR 21 in my pre-order. Not sure what happened but think silence is golden. Got a beautiful custom inside artwork for this Steel.

Missed this first time round, so ordered this one.

Surely it has to be printed. Almost all steels that are re-released in Germany have them printed (Inception, Sucker Punch spring to mind).

All these re-releases really are killing the steelbook hobby!

Is that correct?

It doesnt seem to be printed on Inception on amazon.de

2 print is same like the first print

Is this information from a reliable source?
It's going to piss off a great many collectors if the exact same steel was released..

At least these reprints do me a favor. It makes my decision of what to buy even easier. Drastically going to limit any steelbook purchases on day one from now on.

I'm just sticking to aamray's for some releases, lost so much interest in collecting recently.

 

[Lone Crusader]

Just I'll be damned if I was going to miss out on this a second time.

this is going to piss off the ebay profiteers mainly tough sh!t
for anybody that paid over the odds for the original release i feel sorry for them
but as steelbooks become more mainstream and popular i fear re-releases will become more frequent

 

[Redace314]

Man I'm about bought out with all the releases dropping November and December and I just learn now this one drops in two days? Man this is gonna huuuuurt....but preorder forward

A member of bluray-disc.de who got the steelbook yesterday confirms that the re-release conforms with the first print.

On a semi related note (!), one of the guys who made the Matrix is now a woman.

And an awesome woman at that. Lana rocks!

On topic - I still haven't put in an order for this yet... same mistake I made last time. Will I ever learn?

Maybe he/she was in a transitional period when they did parts 2 and 3...

I chatted with an amazon.de agent a few weeks ago and he already confirmed that the rerelease was identical with the 1st release. He somehow made it sound as if they only sold half the stock last time and are now selling the rest. Not sure information like this would even be made available to customer service people... however, the "first" edition was sold out almost too fast though!!
