You mean the Steelbook is remastered or a forthcoming release?
Edit: The cinema release in 2011 was supposedly remastered, maybe the Steelbook uses that print?
I read the Steelbook transfer was the same as the old BD? :?

Steelbooks are a waste of space designed to flog old product.

Not a fan of CRYSTAL SKULL (is anyone?) so I'll get this when it dips under £30. That way I'm only paying for the original trilogy. :D

A refund from Amazon that I didnt ask for :? They've refunded me for the Ghostbusters Steelbook I ordered for some reason, except I dont remember requesting a refund, and it hasnt arrived yet. They said its been sent back to them, so I sent them an email asking WTF is going on.

Another upgrade
Image

+ PS3 superslim 250GB model
Image

Heard a lot of crap about the new model, but I think the design is more stylish than the previous models, I don't see any problem with the top-loader disc drive, and the decreased size and weight is a blessing for someone like me who can't decide on which continent he wants to live.

I don't really care for the new model. I still feel the old PHAT looks the best, especially the white, and the first Slim that came out was OK, not great.

This just looks 'cheap', although the white version seems to look a bit better than the black version.

I'll be in Hong Kong next month, where I'll need to pick up a new PS3 cause we'll need a DVD/BR player, but I'm hoping I can still pick up a 'Candy Blue' Slim PS3, instead of the new one. However, it will depend on price/bundle. If I can pick up the newest Slim with a great game for the same price as the Candy Blue without a game, most likely I'll just go for the newest version.

I was there, the big BNB blackout of november, 2008. We lost many that day...

USA BD is missing the extras (eg the great commentary the DVD had), I imagine the JP BD will be super expensive. Think theres a Canadian BD but never bought one, wasnt sure if it had forced subs :?

Ordered:
Rashomon (Blu Ray) in the B&N sale.
I didnt understand what the "Tick this box if you want your order tax exempt" was all about, will they still mark my order as a book? :?
