  • Fair warning: That Guardians of the Galaxy steelbook doesn’t have the title on the spine:

  • CyEd

    imo the exclusivity of the steelbook overrides the lack of spine on the title. I was lucky enough to snag a copy since my bestbuy was sold out within the first 5 minutes of opening.

  • FDB

    So gross. File that shit next to the Once Upon A Time In Mexico DVD. Read: in the garbage cannister.

  • Sam

    Gonna side with FDB on this. Lack of spine is disgusting. Exclusivity or not.

  • Sean

    Normally I would agree but I am digging the play and rewind buttons on the side.

  • ECONOMYpolitica

    Agreed. Very nice. Will it be filled in the “Pl” section for the play button? A conundrum. We need a new manifesto to lead us through these confusing times.
