I would assume that the disc does NOT contain the 3D disc, despite the misleading article title.

No use in 2D , even worse than the last Paramount release which had the anaglyph version included

bought the box to get the 3D version anyway… A blast in 3D!

Ah man, the whole point of the film is to see the opening titles soaring overhead in 3D, and then settling in to watch all the glorious carnage as it pokes out of the screen every few minutes. No no no, no. Someone at Paramount needs to be stuffed into a sleeping bag and smacked repeatedly against a tree

Yup, this is great for steelbook packaging collectors, but a hard pass here. Wake me when it's the 4k uhd.

If course I would love a 4K release but some people like the steelbooks as well. This is what that is for. Steelbook collectors. Don't want it? Don't buy it. Simple.

Halloween 1-5 has amazing 4K blu ray's it's time Friday The 13th & A Nightmare On Elm Street got the same treatment at least the first 5 movies of each so the series fans get a real treat.

These original art steelbooks are beautiful. I hope they release the first 5 at least.

yes these are really fantastic looking don't get me wrong but i think i'll pass this time around cause i already have the fantastic box set that came out a year and a half ago wasn't it? that one is fucking perfect i think. i wonder if they will do an Elm Street one soon? with Deleted scenes that have never been seen on any release or even made public? that would be fucking great.

but yeah this is for Collectors and while there's nothing wrong with that i've lost count how many times they've put this on either dvd or bluray for that matter. i do hope the collectors do enjoy the hell out of it though but i think i shall pass this time around

At least they put the new remaster onto this disc. Last year when they released the part 2 steelbook they didn't use the new remaster, am I correct? Wouldn't this have been the perfect opportunity for Paramount to put out their own disc of the existing true 3D presentation? I guess there won't be a steelbook next year since part 4 didn't come out until 84. I wonder if Paramount will put out their own 3-3D disc next year to fill in the gap?
