[alleyartist]

[chinoh151]

Meron sa Park Square 1 (in front of Mobile1), Waltermart Makati (2nd floor), Greenhills (in front of the parking structure where Astro is). Yun lang ang alam ko.

Cge. Thanks. Layo saakin....

Will have to keep the R1 copy tuloy just for the TCM feature.

got my copy at  Astro, SM Bicutan a while ago (5pm), their last copy

[radforce]

Got one kanina at Astrovision - SM Southmall less 10% pa.

may ongoing sale SouthMall from March 2-4 less 10% on regular price dvd(750pesos above)

[jas]

checked my copy this afternoon & darth mond is right, the Scorsese on Scorses feature length documentary is missing. what a disappointment, as this is the supposed highlight of the special features.

less 10%? wow naman! sa podium walang steelcase but the reg ed, ndi on sale. i think warner just chose stores na bibigyan nila ng sale for new titles. even harry's goblet was not on sale. gusto ko sana un.

Hey, you're right. d**n, misprint pa on the insert they included. It's also listed on the back of the keep case version, but I guess this will be missing from all R3 releases of this title?

From someone who's been collecting DVDs from Day One (and I have the posts here to prove it), yes, I believe this is the first locally-released steelbook. Steelbooks are a more recent packaging development, anyway - they were launched in 2004.

nice link.  I got my copy btw which didn't expect.

Got my steelbook copy at Music One this afternoon for 675 pesos (10% discount for BPI Edge Credit Card). I think they still have 2 more copies left.

[otogi]

[ipod fanatic]

Also just saw these this morning. They still have more than 10 copies of the steelbook.

[geckoph]

Yahoo...got myself a copy of the steelbook...

[dragonrower]

bakit dami nagsasabi ng "...if it werent for the oscar win i wouldnt settle for the steelcase..." this is martin scorsese, it's worth the d*mn steelcase at any rate, oscar win or not. and if you're a true dvd freak & movie buff, you will always go for the best copy of dvd money can buy, in this case, the steelcase. so grab the steelcase whether an oscar win or not! this is one fine movie helmed by one of the greatest hollywood filmmakers, period.

Looks like they have re-stocked the steelcase edition. Lots of copies too (more than 10) at Odyssey Gateway.

I would get any movie that is in steelbook.

alisin mo dahan dahan lang para wag mapunit...kung may maiiwan na pandikit sa steelcase...get a masking tape then stick it over the remaining glue...remove..stick...remove stick lang hanggang matanggal lahat.

hehe baka magasgas steelbook eh...

You could peel off the sticker first then remove the residue with a little baby oil.   

[pjayg]

tried alcohol, no effect

masking tape or baby oil lang pala ... thanks for the advice

Like I said, packaging is unimportant to me. It doesn't make me any less of a DVD freak and movie buff than you. As long as the film and special features are intact, I'm happy. I'm so disgusted with this R3 steelbook release since it's missing the "Scorsese on Scorsese" documentary that I actually just ordered the R1, and will dispose of this incomplete copy as soon as my R1 arrives.

A DVD containing the "Scorsese on Scorsese" documentary, for me, would in fact be "the best copy of this DVD that money can buy" - despite it not being in a fancy metal case.

Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks for this thread, ordered R1 instead. c",)

I used acetone. Initially, there'll be a slight discoloration. But after a couple of minutes, it would be flawless.

I am thinking of getting the R1 and put it in the R3 steelcase

well, that too

That's just what I'll do. I decided to give my friend the R3 discs with the R1 packaging as a birthday gift, will tell him honestly my motive for doing so hehehe.

don't use too much, some of the paint came off on mine  :'(

[clea]

Yuo can just use your thumb and lightly remove it as if you were removing 'libag'

[av_phile1]

Got the lone steelbook last night from Astro.  Nice packaging for an R3. Has no intserts though, but I used the back loose leaf as one.

I'm kind of hesitant to remove the sticker now.
