Amazon-Exclusive Borderlands 4K Steelbook Edition Is Now Available

The Borderlands movie is now available on 4K Blu-ray, and while the film itself is not the adaptation most fans were hoping for, the Claptrap steelbook case with the $35 Amazon-exclusive edition is pretty awesome. Walmart has its own exclusive steelbook, but this one depicts the main cast of the film–it’s not nearly as cool, but it is available for $5 less than Amazon’s steelbook at the moment.

Both exclusive editions come with 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital versions of the film. Alternatively, you can get a non-steelbook 4K Blu-ray edition for $30 at Amazon.

The Amazon-exclusive case emulates the roughed-up design of Claptrap, a motor-mouthed disservice droid voiced by Jack Black in the movie. On the inside, there’s some battle damage in the shape of an Eridian vault symbol, and for the special features, there’s a nice selection of behind-the-scenes documentaries detailing how the film was made. Here’s the full list, which you’ll get whether you buy it from Amazon or Walmart:

• Borderlands: From Game to Screen
• Meet the Team
• All Aboard the Death-Choo-Choo
• Bringing Borderlands to the Screen
• Badonkadonk Time
• Fashion and Action on Pandora
• High-tech Hellscapes

$30

Note: Walmart was originally charging $40 for its exclusive edition of Borderlands, but the retailer has since dropped the list price to $30.

As you can see above, Walmart’s exclusive edition features characters from the film on both the outside and inside of the case. One other difference between the two versions is disc art. The 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray discs feature different designs at each retailer.

Borderlands reviewed poorly when it debuted in theaters on August 9, with numerous outlets calling it a disappointing adaptation that fails to capture any of the charm from the games. For critic reviews, Borderlands has a Metascore of 26 on GameSpot’s sister site Metacritic and holds a 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. It has fared slightly better with fans, with a user score of 3.1/10 Metascore and a 51% on Rotten Tomatoes.

“For most of its length, Borderlands is just unremarkable, the sort of thing that fades from the mind so quickly that it’s actually difficult to dislike it with any real intensity,” Phil Owen wrote in GameSpot’s Borderlands movie review.
