Search reveals Zavvi lists 4 DVDs, one for ID by itself and 3 as double feature with some other movies. Not even a single listing of a BD of Independence Day, let alone a Steelbook.

Why are you starting a new thread with no link/listing, no announcement by studio or retailer, no details about the purported release, just hearsay from some guy on some other site?

And 7 more threads exactly the same?
How 'bout just one thread: Random musings from some guy who posts on the interwebs under the pseudonym of Wreck?

+1

If your going to post a thread then you need to at least have links to the product. Not "according" to this person. Or link the page from HDN.

Well it's not official yet, but as far as i can tell, every time wreck says something it ends up being truth, i'm sorry for all trouble i made, i just thought that you guys would like to know this stuff

Don't apologise, some people just have to hate.

No on is "hating" God people and that term....

But seriously the OP made all these threads when he/she could have made one single thread along the lines...."New Steelbooks coming to Zavvi" or something like that.

Either way nice to see some new stuff coming in.

Blu-Boy in BKK · 03-25-2013, 10:13 PM

Wasn't aimed at you. More at Geronimo and the rest of the scalping party.

Well, I'm certainly not a Mod, I was just expressing my personal opinion as forum member. And my opinion is that if one is going to start a thread there should be a link to the product or at least a link to an official announcement from someone in authority to know, a studio or retailer.

And that's another thing. I've browsed that site a few times, too groupie/culty for me, and folks there sure have a persecution thing going on. "People just have to hate", and "They'll never bring us down!" Sheez. Look, you have a site where everyone thinks Wreck et al are Gods of the Steelbook Universe. Great, enjoy it. But when you try to spread that gospel on other sites, expect the reception a Jehovah Witness or LDS person gets when they show up at my front door. I don't hate them, I just don't want any part of what they're trying to sell.

Except that way you'll end up with loads of threads called 'New Steelbooks coming to Zavvi' whenever they announce more than one title at a time. Then you get duplicate threads and then the forum is in a mess. In fact a bit like it is now

Wasn't there something about Best Buy getting a Django steelbook?

Wait you mean you never heard of the Cult of Wreck

Very interested to see some pics: Front/Back/Inside.

richieb1971 · 03-25-2013, 11:56 PM

Nice announcement.

As for the OP doing wrong. The threads would have been split anyway.

Your whining about stuff that will sort itself out . In about 3 days time pics will be up and everyone will be happy they are split threads.

Hussun1 · 03-26-2013, 12:48 AM

If Wreck says they are coming then they are. All the info he's given before has been correct, the aske'd Zavvi to improve their steelbook packaging and they have now. Can't wait to see what else will be announced.

Outlaw1986 · 03-26-2013, 12:51 AM

Well I bought the standard blu ray but when I opened h box the case was kinda broke. I like this movie enough so if its cheap enough I may buy this just to put my disc into I its region locked. Or I could prolly get a stack of empty blu ray cases for that problem for the same price. Hmmm

Halimbo · 03-26-2013, 02:07 AM

Wreck's word is gospel. That is that, these are coming.

MifuneFan · 03-26-2013, 02:09 AM

The UK ID4 BD has one of the worst covers EVER. I really hope they're not stupid enough to replicate this abomination on the steel

Spread the word, brother! Halleluiah!

But even if they do come to pass my wallet is happy I'm not tempted by the re-tread of these old releases in a shiny new cases. ZDT (BBY), Life of Pi (UK) & Django Unchained (Target) get my SB$.
