Arrow:the complete first season. you get all 23 episodes of the fantastic series on 4 bluray discs along with a good amount of extras including deleted seens, gag reel (out takes) a look at how arrow was made and the cast and crew of arrow at a convention. also get an ultraviolet copy of the series too. picture quality is full 1080p and sound is full dolby 5.1 and very good
paid £29.99 for it at hmv which I think is really good value for a tv series on bluray

Got two blu ray's to highly recommend both steel books, Die Hard and Batman Forever. I've already reviewed Die Hard as part of the Die Hard collection a couple months as its the same disc but i wanted to get the steel book of the first film as part of collection and i love art work on it. On the front of the steel book theres great image of john McClane and the title Die Hard is embossed, theres a nice image on the back of the steel book giving it teh whole steel book a very striking look and inside theres art work from a scene from the movie. Its really worth picking this up if your Die Hard fan even if you have the film as part of blu ray box set collection, Die Hard 2 is also being released as a steel book in December.
Batman Forever was a different movie from the first two films which Warner Bros thought were too dark so the Batman Forever was made a little camp and kid friendly but it still was a decent movie.
The front art work of the steel book looks really nice with batman on the front cover, on the back theres a symbol of Batman and the Riddler and the inside art work has a image of Two-face on one side and The Riddler on the other side making it a very nice looking steel book.
The Picture isn't bad either, you get as always a 1080p transfer it does look a step up from the dvd version, the colours really do stand out but its not as crystal clear as it could have been but it is a great look picture quality. The sound quality is stunning you get a 5.1 transfer allowing the film score to really shine.
As for extras theres whole load here but i would have seen a ultra violet copy of the film which would have been a great touch. I was lucky enough to pick my copy of it from Amazon £9.50 during one there deals and still around for about a tenner if you really look around for it on the net.
Got a rather special blu ray recommendation its The Dark Knight Trilogy - Ultimate Collectors Edition. I just had to pick this up with being Batman fan with this i can add to other collection to which i have all the Batman films as normal and blu ray steel books except Batman and Robin lol and with this boxset its the masterpiece. Am not gonna review the films again as i already did each one as its the same transfers but what i will review is the boxset and what you get with it.
First of all the Boxset is quite heavy so you already getting your moneys worth, you reproductions of the Tumbler, Bat-Pod and The Bat all made from metal, you also get a letter from Director Christopher Nolan.
You also get 5 mondo Villain art work cards Joker, Bane, Two-Face/Harvey Dent, Scarecrow, Ra’s al Ghul very impressive stunning piece's of art work. You also get a 48 page photo book what makes it even more impressive is all the pages a full gloss making all the photo look stunning and catching on the eye.
The Films are presented in a book the same as the 007 blu ray boxset was again each page looking stunning, Batman begins holding 1 disc, The Dark Knight holding 2 blu ray discs and The Dark Knight Rises holding 2 blu ray discs and with movie having its own art work from each of the films, you get a bonus blu ray disc with over 90 mins of new special features including a Christopher Nolan and Richard Donner A Conversation, plus you get a ultra violet copy of each movie. Me personally its well worth picking this up and having it in your collection and its worth every penny, plus there's only a limited amount of them and may i saw the box set is beautifully designed too.
Battlestar Galactica (original movie) this was the feature length movie comprising the 1st 3 episodes of the original tv series edited together that was shown in cinemas in the late 1970's. no extras but can get it for about £10 which is very good value and a must have for any scifi fan
If any one is interested then Zavvi are selling some great steel books at the price of £.9.95 including all the Batman films and range of Warner Bros movies as well such as Clash of The Titans, The Martix which is one of my personal fav steel books, Blade Runner, Troy, The Town, Seven with many great films and even better you can pick up some steel book for 2 for the price of £18

Thats a good price, you gotta watch these steel books and they disappear and the you end up having to pay a lot more money for them.
