"Man of Steel": A Diverse Collection of Blu-rays

11/1/2013

Man of Steel will be released in the U.S. on Blu-ray in 11 days. And Superman being one of those entertainment properties having gazillions of around the world wanting their hero presented in something special, this Blu-ray is being offered in several different, unique editions. And for your educational pleasure, I thought I'd whip out a quick blog listing those editions for you.

There's seven in total. - UPDATED 11/3/13: Eight! Added a cool exclusive edition from Australia that I found after my original posting.

Plus one from a land across the moat.

3D Combo Pack

Includes 3 Blu-ray Discs and 1 DVD and (likely) a 3D lenticular slipcover

Limited Edition 3D Combo Pack Gift Set

Action Figure Gift Set - Does not include 3D version of the film

REGION EXCLUSIVE: Germany

And finally here's one that's available in Germany. It includes Region B discs so if you decide you want this one, you'll need to own a region-free Blu-ray Disc player to play the movie (unless you plan to use the discs as coasters).

3D Ultimate Collector's Limited Edition includes 1/6 scale Statue and SteelBook case packaging

REGION EXCLUSIVE: Australia

Added November 3, 2013.
Just found this this morning, available exclusively in the Australian market.
Australia Blu-ray Discs are also traditional Region B discs (US is Region A).

"Sanity EXCLUSIVE limited edition boxset contains the Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray & Ultraviolet versions of the film, the Man of Steel CD soundtrack plus a bonus excerpt of "Inside The Legendary World Of Superman" book!"

A Bonus Feature

Hope you enjoyed the recap. Do you know which one you're going to get? Or will you just stream it on Netflix?

Speaking of Netflix, I'm not a Netflix subscriber so I'm not sure if they also provide the bonus material with movies. But this new short is included when you pick up a copy of Man of Steel. Enjoy and thanks for reading!
