Would you buy a Demons 1 and 2 Blu-ray Steelbook Double Pack?

This sold it for me, just pre-ordered it from Tesco at £24.97. I will live without the comic.

Still not happy the comic won't be included.

I'm more interested in finding why Arrow say that a double steelbook doesn't have space for all the goodies.

I'm assuming that with two discs inside there just isn't room to allow all of the extras to fit inside as well. Assuming you want the steelbook to be able to close, of course!

Me too, good job I've got 5 decent paying gigs with the band next month because I've got all 3 Blu editions in a basket waiting for me to click pre-order, bloody well worth it though!

Thank you for your answer Sarah, but, assuming you read my post some pages back... I still cant´seem to understand why a 2 disk steelbook would have space constraints to hold posters, the comic, and the standard booklet.

I have steelbooks with 3, 4, 5 and even 6 disks that houses a booklet.
Don´t tell me if you have 2 disks on one side you don´t have enough space for all the goodies in the other side. Also, instead of the comic being in 2 parts, you should compile it in one go for this steelook.

I even have a 2 disk steelbook that has a 62 page booklet, now that is some thick mother.

Also, I just experiment with stuff from your past releases, and put a booklet, 2 posters, some artcards, and a comic in a normal 2 disk steelbook case and it fitted like a charm.

Just put everything, Arrow knows that the space is up for it.

Below I put an example:

01- A normal "Karate Kid" 2 disk steelbook
02- I put 2 arrow posters, 2 arrow booklets, and 2 PS3 booklets of 22 pages each for simulating the book (I don´t how much pages the comic will have)
03- You can verify that that the steelbook closes, and I can assure you I didn´t make any pressure for it to close.

I have to say that the clip holders on this steelbook are smaller than some other I have, but as you can see, even with smaller clip holder, there´s room for more goodies that the ones offered.

On a side note, you can even put the comic out of the clip holders, standing in the middle of the steelbook.

PS: Even if after those pictures you want to rule out the comic, I strongly ask in the name of the comunity to include the posters.

If what is said above isn´t ruled as positive by Arrow, and if Arrow wants to turn this into a real limited collector´s item, why not put the all the extra stuff inside a slipcase, and the steelbok, both housed inside a cardboard case just like Battle Royale (just thinner).

It does seem a little bland without all the normal goodies. Yes it looks nice etc etc ... but it really is missing that something special.

I have held off pre-ordering it for now

Still no idea just how "limited" this release will be.

I seem to recall that the comics were going to be pretty big and were originally designed to fit outside of the HD keepcase within the slipcover (a la Obsession) - this may still be the case.

Also, remember there is a comic for Demons AND Demons 2.

I sometimes have trouble storing my MoC peel-offs inside their corresponding steelbooks (along with the booklet), so there is no chance of two comics (and booklets and posters) fitting inside the steelbook. Unless said steelbook is a TARDIS of course

I noted that on my post, that I didn´t know the actual thicknes of the comics, but there´s no excuse to keep the posters away from this steelbook release.

Also noted that, if Arrow wants to turn this into a real limited collector´s item, why not put the all the extra stuff inside a slipcase just like the Battle Royalle. Then, put both the slipcase and the steelbok, inside a cardboard case just like Battle Royale (just thinner).
