Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Dutch SteelBook)
Posted by admin in SteelBooks on May 29th, 2009
Woke up this morning to a little pack sent down from The Netherlands: it was the Terminator 2: Judgment Day Dutch SteelBook which I remember ordering back in March, had almost forgotten about it.
This disc differs from other European releases with the fact that it’s apparently Region Free (or at least the back says so). Not that it matters, but it’s good info for people who wonder which version to get.
This release contains three cuts of the movie: theatrical, special edition and extended special edition.
I’ll be giving it a look whenever I get the time to. Meanwhile, enjoy this powerful front cover:
Who said trading sucked?
You know the whole “You get a little, I get a little” motto? Well it was verified once again this morning, when I got a nice box from a friend in the US. All excellent movies I’ll take joy in watching very soon.
The Incredible Hulk (Limited Edition) / Milk / Pineapple Express (Unrated Special Edition)
Tropic Thunder (Director’s Cut) / Zack and Miri Make a Porno / Zodiac (Director’s Cut)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete [Japan]
Okay so I forgot to mention this one yesterday, but I just have to… it’s freaking beautiful, another great import, thanks to YesAsia!
Can’t forget the Amarays
There’s something about the recent recession coupled with the change of currency values that makes importing that much more appealing. I used to snort at British prices but had to cave in as that was the only place I could get some CDs from of bands I love (such as Muse, Funeral For A Friend, etc.).
Things have changed now, the current currency exchange values marks the British Pound to 1,13193 Euros, which is virtually the same.
So I’ve been hanging around Amazon.co.uk lurking for good deals and their current “3 for the price of 2″ offer hasn’t let me down since. Ordered a new batch to fill up the comedy void (should be getting some US ones from a trade) along with a nice box set of two movies you won’t forget:
28 Days Later…/28 Weeks Later (Boxset) / Anger Management
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World / Step Brothers
Clint Eastwood couldn’t stay just in Germany

It’ll probably be confirmed in the coming weeks but it seems like Gran Torino will also be getting a French SteelBook release on July 1st. It seems like Fnac will either be getting the exclusive, or at least a Special Edition.
Here’s the cover (from DVD.fr):

Okay so I’m sorry about the slow news recently, I’ve just had a lot of things going on and to be honest, SteelBooks haven’t been my top priority lately, I’ve even sold off some of my collection.
Anyway, I’ll still try to inform you of everything I can. I’ll start with the release on July 16th of the German Amazon.de Exclusive SteelBook of The Spirit:
