    someone please confirm: the QOS steelbook bluray is the same bluray from 2008, with the trailers in the beginning? And also the GE steelbook bluray have the same bad restoration as the one from 50 boxset?

    I don't know about the trailers in the beginning, but it does appear to be the same release from 2008, so I don't see anything being different about it aside from the case that it comes in. As for GE, are you talking about the region-free Zavvi GE steelbook? Again, with all of these coming out around the same time, I doubt the PQ is any different between the two releases.

    I do have the GE steelbook, what was not ok with GE in the 50 Box?

    The colour timing and picture quality don't seem to be up to the quality of the other remastered transfers on GE. I'm not sure if they've since corrected it, but I don't think they have.

    I pulled the trigger on the CR steel and was happy to find that it does not have the other Sony trailers at the beginning like my old copy has and that the menu is in line with the others. However, it looks like I need to keep my two disc set as they didn't carry over the Bond Girls Are Forever doc.

    More pictures from movie fans who just obtained the Bond steelbooks. Look how proud they are :-P. Also some "SPECTRE" Bond films have been released with very nice cardboard/slipcase covers. Those cardboard "SPECTRE" Bond films are Walmart Exclusives:


    The 9 "SPECTRE" films from Walmart in luxury cardboard slipcases:

    If they were to release all the films in this style, I'd consider buying. It's a classy move using the title sequences. Whoever suggested it as an idea needs a pat on the back.

    Maybe they will release the other Bond films in steelbook too next year, together with the steelbook release of "SPECTRE". By jolly, am I curious now what Daniel Kleinman is doing with the main titles for "SPECTRE" :-O. Will they be orange/black?? More girls?? Some floating octopi?


    By the way @RC7. Looking at above pictures, which steelbook of "Skyfall" you like most? The 1st grey/silver colored one? Or the new one with green main title design on it?

    The main title without doubt. The other is too Connery-esque for me, the title design cover unequivocally says 'Skyfall' and it is a great title sequence.

    @Gustav_Graves I love your presentation of the new steelbooks on the frame holders. I like both Skyfall covers, but the steelbook is much more inspired.

    Look for heavy use of chess and Day of the Dead imagery, that's my feeling anyway.

  • This is how the steelbooks look like when still packed. Fanatic collectors actually never remove the plastic foil, so that in the future these steelbooks will be much more worth:

    I've always thought those kind of people need help. If I buy Bond stuff I have to enjoy it.

    Yeah, I'm not one of those collectors luckily :-P. Though I do save the foils and paper covers from those steelbooks. You never know if something is wrong with the disc. Better to send it back in prestine order then.

    I'm actually surprised how many new discs are actually damaged and skip on first play.

    Aw, nice! I went to our Best Buy today but there was nothing, I think the Canadian Best Buys are getting them on Sept 22 or something. :(

    Yeah, next week on the 22nd. I pre-ordered most of them, save FRWL and DAF which were sold out by the time I pulled the trigger. That said, there is a bit of a glitch in their service (which one of the forum board moderators has taken note of, at least) because I can't view my pre-order anymore. When I click on the number I'm led to a page saying Best Buy can't retrieve the order! Worst case scenario I'll be heading to Best Buy next Tuesday to buy all 9.

    Yes, same here. I still haven't gotten a confirmation that my order has been processed.

    In all honesty, I never had that problem. Never. I am always very careful with my bluray-discs.

    By the way, I tend to agree with you about the remainder of the Bond films. Now in total 11 Bond films had a steelbook release:

    --> "From Russia With Love"
    --> "Goldfinger" (still the most beautiful one, with embossed title logo, partially matted, partially shiny painted cover, and when you hold it in the sun, you can discover the number "50", referring to the 50th anniversary of the film in 2014)
    --> "Thunderball"
    --> "You Only Live Twice"
    --> "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
    --> "Diamonds Are Forever"
    --> "For Your Eyes Only"
    --> "GoldenEye" (wonderful matted steel cover, with official poster design and embossed title logo)
    --> "Casino Royale" (2 different steelbook releases)
    --> "Quantum Of Solace"
    --> "SkyFall" (2 different steelbook releases)

    But the other 12 should be released in steelbook too.

    My pre-order has been fixed. You might want to write to or call them. You really should receive at least an email confirming they have your order.

    I finally caved and picked up the QoS steelbook while buying a few new Criterions tonight.

    @Creasy47 It is a beautiful cover! It's my favorite out of the new ones.

    Indeed it is! Like I've said, it's probably my favorite shot out of the entire QoS title themes, so I'm glad they selected it as the cover.

    And I will probably have a similar 'mismatched' collection :-P. But I think on a shelve it looks better to put all my 13 Bond steelbooks together no? This picture is from someone else by the way:

    My collection is so mismatched. I have an old copy of FRWL with the slipcover, the others when they were all released a couple years ago, the GE steelbook, the barebones QoS and SF releases, and the CR Deluxe Edition.

    I've got the Bond 50th Box Set BluRays up to Quantum of Solace (with the space for Skyfall), standard-issue Casino Royale DVD and Skyfall BluRay, the four box sets DVDs Dr. No through TWINE (the one where each of the four has a different color), and standard-issue Goldeneye on VHS, although I think we may have gotten rid of that :(
    I don't trust myself that I won't pick up the Craig trilogy in Steelbook when they become available in my Best Buy :P

    Speaking of Steelbooks...does anyone of you still have these??

    I have all of them up to Tomorrow Never Dies.
    And yes, I had bought a player especially to be able to get those and play them!
    It had cost me the pocket money of a year!!
    My mates from school were so envious of me.

    I actually had TLD-TND! TLD was my first laserdisc ever! I LOVED the Goldeneye one with all the features it had! Thanks for reminding me of them!

    Did anyone in the U.S. get a code to watch the Spectre content with the individual steelbook editions? I got CR and realized I only have a code for the digital copy of that film.
  • More pics. It appears that all steelbooks have a glossy, shiny cover, whereas the "YOLT" steelbook is matted...:

    the GE bluray had heavy DNR. Also i want to reply to others saying that QOS bluray of 50th edition exept from trailers in the beggining also had a diffrent menu (2008 version) from the other 21 movies, CR bluray of the 50th edition had the same menu as the other 20 movies but not as many extras as the 2BD Edition!

    Just got my QoS steelbook in the mail, and wow, is it beautiful. Sidelined my barebones QoS release and let the steel take its place. Can't wait to jump into it!

    I got the last images from this bluray-forum, and then this special "Bond steelbook topic":
    http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=264615

    My last post had IMG-links without .jpg at the end, so perhaps that could be the problem on your mobile phone. But on my laptop via Google Chrome the images are working...

    Are you going to buy the steelbooks @marketto007?
