I'm one who has orderd/cancelled again and again on this one and honestly after seeing the pics, I think it looks nice. I kinda wish I had kept it. I'm sure I would have felt the opposite if I actually had kept it anyway, I think over time this one will still be desired. The matte black doesn't look as washed out as I was expecting.

It's certainly matte but it has quite a sheen to it. The back is also lovely. If you don't own the blufans, you should certainly think about picking this up imo

That's a bit harsh. They did go out of business, their website is the only way they can still cash-in.

Granted charging £20 for a matte finish 1-disc (3D less) steel is taking the mick. They should at least throw in a lenticular cover

I haven't been collecting for very long, and all I can say is that Zavvi have us at bane. They now realise they can charge stupendous prices for a metal case and still have us buy it. That's where the problem lies. I'm sure most of us here can contend that is true.

Charging those sort of prices, exclusive or not, is making my money rarer than the actual steelbook itself

zavvi are improving all the time. all the pixar films upcoming now have 3D and only 1 quid extra. they are constantly improving and helping this community,they are learning from there mistakes.

Which is exactly why I'm voting with my wallet, others who open their steels and appreciate quality and not getting ripped off should do the same.

Is this high quality matte finish or similar to the Studio Canal ones?

Maybe so, but not including the 3D with Wreck-It wasn't a great start IMO.

I don't even own 3D equipment, but with that price tag, that is beside the point.

i know it sucks man it's a shame, but hey you can always modify it! if you have a steel with 2 discs slots like one what has the blu ray and one has the dvd of the movie,swap it with wreck it ralph then put the 3d in ralph there you go

I appreciate what Zavvi have done, they've provided me with an opportunity to pick up my favorite films in my preferred choice of cases, SteelBook. Wreck it Ralph and Children of Men, and more to come! Zavvi my wallet is open!

Just opened mine there.


Every other Disney pre-order has been cancelled.

Received my two (going straight off to some friends) I have to say even though I can't see the other side it doesn't look good especially when I hold it up next to my BF edition.
£9.99 would be a more appropriate price and that is only cause it is A) A good film & B) A Disney movie
But a lack of 3D and a poor finish even £9.99 feels too high, I am glad I cancelled my other Disney Steels from Zavvi.

I don't mind matte but animated movies really deserve a rich, bright and colourful Glossy steel.

 

[levi]

Some of us actually open our steels

Anyway, jokes on me. Had a feeling it'd be matte and my order went through. Needless to say, I've cancelled every single pre-order at Zavvi and only buying once I see the finish / in-hand pics. If it happens to sell out before hand, then I'll buy one marked up $10 off eBay- if I really need it, which I probably won't.

There's a reason Zavvi didn't state its finish. Now I hope they go out of business/stop selling steels.

lol @ hoping they go out of business

i have my wreck it ralf in front of me. im just happy to have it... finally. thought it would never be released.

its embossed and matte. i havent opened it yet, i will do though.

i havent seen the film but always wanted to, so its a great addition to my collection.

 

[groakybaby]

Lovely silver scratch on mine. Hate how easily these scratch

Mine has a scratch too. Gutted

 

[gregavfc]

Am I the only one who loves this?

Nope, the back is incredible. It 1000% would've been better gloss though however. Black always is. I'm not settling for second best anymore while paying premium price

 

[tommyh84]

Shame about the lack of embossing on Ralph's face, seemed a no brainer.

Shame about the lack of gloss as well but that could of been expected.

 

[Bobthesub]

I dont get all the hate for this at all...Im no fan of black steelbooks but I dont mind this, I also dont get all the hatred of matte steels, some of my favorite steelbooks have been matte. Maybe it is a 'cheap looking' steelbook for a premium price but them thats Disney isnt it? Disney titles for me are always overpriced regardless of the format or the packaging. Zavvi/Disney set the bar very high with the early releases, so that makes anything thats not up to the standards of Roger Rabbit, finding Nemo or Aladdin a disappointment. Yeah the 8 bit Ralph is crying out to be embossed, thats the biggest shame for me, along with the steady rise in price compared to the drop in 'wow factor' of the Disney exclusives.

 

[Sinthetic]

Didn't see any picture attempts at capturing the awesome effect on the back. Hope this helps show it off.

 

[hiratafabio]

Nice pics and videos, people!

Can anyone confirm the audio tracks on it, please?

Thanks!

 

[tommyh84]

Best pics so far Sinthetic

 

[ben6212]

i love it,it seems to be a nice matte instead of a "cheap" matte. think point break,most lionsgate steels. and the back is perfect
