More often than not, SteelBook collectors are forced to import Blu-rays from other countries, frequently at great inconvenience and expense, in order to obtain the shiny metallic goodness they crave. In a welcome change of pace, Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist Western ‘Django Unchained’ will receive the SteelBook treatment later this month, and you’ll be able to buy it right here in the U.S. of A.

A listing for a SteelBook edition of the movie previously popped up on Amazon UK<\/a> with a release date of May 20th, but the artwork image did not appear finalized, and the page has now been downgraded to “Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available”<\/em> status (which basically means that it’s unconfirmed).<\/p>\n

In any case, back to the subject at hand, the ‘Django Unchained’ three-disc SteelBook (Blu-ray\/DVD\/UltraViolet Digital Copy) will street on April 16th for $26.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
