Yeah, most practical "LE tin box" packaging around.

Don't they scratch easily though? I mean, every other painted metal tin box I've ever seen scratches really easily & removes the paint.

I hope I'm wrong, because I've just ordered the Steelbook version of The Terminator for the extra documentaries...

You can also confirm if the DD1.0 tracks are downmixes or sourced from the English DD1.0.

I suggest you re-read slowly this time who and what I was responding to. Come on Eva you revel at other members missing things, now who is doing it?

Well I do too, but I've had cases for other things that scratch if you so much as touch them! I have a metal case on my collector's edition of Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 and that is terrible!

Metal cases are a joke, total utter waste of time. Does not matter how well you look after them, in the end many go wonky and rust like shit. I have hundreds so I should know, I would gladly bin them all if I could not make cash from them on Ebay.

Give me an amaray case anyday! far cheaper.

I have to say I agree with Romero. I've never been one for fancy packaging. It's the disc content that counts and a keep case does the job.

I like Steelbooks but I really only have two, this and TCM. One year later my TCM case still looks great, but I can understand why some don't like them and just prefer keepcases becasue as Mark said, it's the content that counts.

This guy has a lot of great in-progress clips and deleted scenes from Robocop 2 and some BTS material for Robocop 1, 2 and 3

Lol, American Network TV had this bizarre idea of trying to make every film no matter how strong the content into a PG.
