Pre-Order To Catch A Thief (1955) (4k UHD SteelBook) (Blu-ray SteelBook) Available for Preorder (1 Viewer)

I must be seeing a different pre-order as the link above shows $29.99 and doesn’t specify it’s a 4K UHD.

You’re looking at the Blu-ray link. Here’s the UHD link:

Ahh! Thank you! I didn’t read the link closely.

Currently a $13.99 preorder on Amazon, so no complaints about the price on this one. Amazon’s probably matching someone else.

I recently became 4K capable (well actually my system has, you understand) and this is one I've been wanting to get if I found it at a good price, so I've pre-ordered. But since I've never paid any attention to the issue I know hardly anything about steelbooks. How big are these things compared to a standard plastic case, particularly in height?

Paul. Here’s a few of my discs for comparison.


1. 2012 TCAT blu ray slip cover, blu ray next to it.
2. Steelbook 4K UHD North by Northwest.
3. 4K UHD blu ray of TCAT in plastic case.
4. Talk of the Town standard black plastic 4K UHD disc case.

I like steelbooks and get them whenever I can.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know.

A "Blu-ray / UHD" sized steelbook (in opposition to DVD-sized steelbooks) has roughly the same dimensions in height and depth than a regular plastic case (as Nelson's pic shows), and has roughly the same thickness too. It's 15mm (0.6in) thick, which could compare to the standard plastic (Scanavo) cases Criterion uses, which are 14mm thick. They fit very well along standard Blu-rays or UHDs cases. Here is an exemple from the spine point of view (not my pic) :

They are matching Barnes and Noble. If you are a B&N Premium Member you can get a 10% discount and free shipping on top of that ridiculous low price.

Ah, thanks. I don't have to give money to Amazon.

Just had a very peculiar and annoying experience with Amazon. Several days ago I pre-ordered the To Catch a Thief 4k steelbook from Amazon. The price was $13.99. Couldn't pass that up. The next day the price had increased a "whopping" 78 cents to $14.77?? A peculiar price increase to be sure. Today I noticed in "My Orders" the price was increased back to $29.99! I was under the impression that a pre-order locked in the price. Does Amazon have any awareness of what they are doing??? Any one else out there experiencing similar Amazonian business practices??

The price in my Orders list is still $13.99, even though the site listing is now $29.99.

 

[Nelson Au]

Shoot! I did not pre-order this. I did not think the price would bounce up like that!

My preordered disc is also still $13.99. If you have the email confirmation from Amazon from when you placed the order that would be proof that you purchased it when it was $13.99. You can then contact customer service for a price adjustment.

I just checked Barnes and Noble website and they list the 4K Steelbook of TCAT at $29.99. Perhaps B&N had to change the pricing to reflect the true MSRP. So Amazon no longer had to match that. Still, you guys who pre-ordered looks like you got a great deal!

When you see a great price, you have to jump on it. Hell, I preordered it at that price point even though I already have the previous 4K/UHD release. "You snooze; you lose" That's the motto physical media consumers need to live by.

To Catch a Thief Steelbook 4K is currently listed as Amazon's #1 Best Seller in Movies and TV so alot of people or resellers got the deal. Number 2 is Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning 4K

Yeah, it didn’t occur to me that this was a super deal. I was thinking I was glad to see a Steelbook and not the price.

Anytime, I see a 4K/UHD Steelbook for sale at $13.99, that's a super deal.

I’ll keep that in mind from now on.

I was thinking of not getting the 4k because it looks so good on that bluray disc with Barefoot and Love Story. But when I saw 13.99 I clicked immediately. Those unusually good prices don't stick around too long. And I at least I have the wonderful Barefoot in bluray which looks great in that mid 60s color.
