As we first reported back in March, Best Buy released a special Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Blu-ray Steelbook today, available in limited quantities at their North America retail locations.
This single-disc Blu-ray release has identical content to the 2009 Wrath of Khan edition, but this edition becomes the first original Star Trek film to receive the Steelbook treatment.
The Steelbook replicates the original Wrath of Khan artwork, though the title treatment is replaced with the more recent catalog title text, used uniformly across the standalone releases of the first six Trek films.
Our only nit with this design (aside from the title treatment) is that the attack on the Reliant featured on the inside artwork appears to have been flipped, as the Miranda-class starship’s registry number appears in reverse.
This Steelbook is, as of right now, a fairly limited release as Best Buy stores are receiving around three to five copies per location — so if this is on your wish list, we recommend you get moving and place your order today, because they’re sure to not last long.
