Your latest DVD or Blu-Ray

I agree. That's why I try to only buy the Steelbooks for the movies I truly like. I've found that some of the Steelbooks are only a couple bucks more than the regular Blu Rays so I don't have a hard time buying them.

That's a good way to tackle it, and you're right about the prices. They're really not that much more than the standard release.

I'm a little on the cheap side right now, though, so I either buy my movies with coupons, special offers or wait it out for the price to drop. To complicate things, it seems with some of the steelbooks if you don't pre-order you're toast (like with Paul) and end up paying even more than the pre-order!

My early retirement plan is killing me. Years ago I would have purchased these without hesitation.

Is that Region 2 only? I'm very tempted to get that even though normally I don't care about steelbooks.

Yeah, it's Region Locked.

It's the exact same disc as the US version, except it's locked unlike the US disc.

Hmm, still tempted to get it. The case looks great.

I have the 2 disc DVD collector's tin that came out a few years ago. Funny how the all the extra material isn't included on the blu-ray.

I should have checked the DVD, because there is a 50 min making of documentary on that

Use Bestine. It works great and you don't have to worry about alcohol rubbing away anything else.

Hi Batty, just want to ask where can you buy Bestine? Is it on Pharmacy? I'm having some problems with the sticker residue as awell.

Thanks,
Richard

You can get it at most art supply or craft stores like Michael's or AC Moore. I swear by the stuff. It takes off just about any type of sticker or glue. And it doesn't do any damage and there's no strong oder like with Goo Gone.

When does Source Code come out?

Teaser 1, Teaser 2, TV Commercial, Trailer 1 and 2, and Storyboards
And that's it. Not much, but then this is the first time the UK has had Akira released in Blu-Ray

When does Source Code come out?

Source Code is out on the 15th of August in the UK, and comes out in a shiny Steelbook from Play.com

When does Source Code come out?

Following its theatrical release in April, Duncan Jones' Source Code will arrive on Blu-ray this summer. This twisty sci-fi thriller, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier trying to prevent a terrorist attack with the help of a top-secret government program, streets on 26 July 2011, courtesy of Summit Entertainment. While Summit has not released a complete set of specifications for the Blu-ray, we know that a number of special features will accompany the film. They include:

Audio commentary with Jake Gyllenhaal, Jones, & writer Ben Ripley
Science Focal Points
Access: Source Code Interactive Viewing Mode
Cast Interviews
Trivia Track

The Blu-ray will feature a 5.1 DTS-HD MA track. More details and final cover art are still unknown, and Amazon has not made available a pre-order page yet.

I'm interested in seeing how this movie is. The Steelbook looks pretty slick IMO.
