Very nice indeed.
Everytime this film is mentioned,Radio Ga Ga pops into my head.

Ordered this myself tonight too, funnily enough.

It's going to be a fantastic release - roll on Novemeber.

Also: note that the dual-format edition itself is also Ltd Edition, the standard editions being either the Blu or the DVD.

I dunno -- I'm thinking the embossed slipcase might be nicer than a silly ol' steelbook.

I dunno bgart, the steelbook was invented for a film like Metropolis to sit in!

Also, dual format = instant winner in my eyes.

Hmm.. at £25 I think I'll still be going for the regular one. The embossed sleeve does sound nice as well. Anyone know if the booklet will be in both?

[Playzocker]

Awesome - just contacted Eureka for shipping info (hopefully they ship from within the UK as I really don't like additional custom charges. If they get back to me, I'll order as fast as I can.

EDIT: They ship from London, so it's safe to order ... I couldn't wait, so I just called them.
It's 31,09 Euro on my credit card - not cheap but for the most exclusive Blu-ray I've seen so far, that's worth the extra mileage for me.

For anyone else who is interested, here is the exclusive T-shirt design:



Eureka are apparently going to be selling these separately at £14.99 each.

The exclusive offer has also been extended until midnight on 3rd September.

Also: up for pre-order on Play:

Ltd Edition (Blu + 2 DVD Steelbook)
Blu
DVD (2 disc)

I'm torn now...

I definitely won't be getting the t-shirt one because it's Paypal only and it's come too soon as they charge straight away, especially after I just had to spend an annoying $60 on a new phone after dropping mine the other day!

But.. the steelbook is £17.99 at HMV..

Metropolis Reconstructed & Restored 2dvd Bw 1926 Silent Bonus Dvd Steelbook (2010): BLU-RAY: hmv.com

Hmmm......

It's only £1 more than the regular there!
