I have the Target Mediabook. It's really nice, my only complaint is I wished there were more pages in it. If people missed out on, don't feel bad because I think the art is in the Covenant art book as well.
I also got the 4k steelbook  too from Best Buy. :)

I'm also surprised -- and bummed -- that this fantastic artwork isn't on any of the Blu-Ray covers?:

Agreed.  Maybe they figure that art didn't sell the movie enough in theaters so it won't sell it on blu-ray?  It is featured inside the steelbook, so at least it's somewhere.

Anyway, I pre-ordered the Target one because I think it will be a digibook.  Apparently for recent releases, Target has been putting out digibooks with slipcovers over them, like this:

(I love the steelbook, but I don't have Prometheus in a steelbook.  These things need to match on the shelf!)

I'm really surprised that they're not doing a Prometheus/Covenant double-pack deal.

I think that was a UK release from Zavvi.

Any word on if they're doing a box-set with all the movies, including Covenant? I thought I remember seeing one on Facebook that had all the different xenos on the cover.

QuoteRetail sources are now reporting an 8/15 street date for Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD. This, of course, also means that Scott's Prometheus is due on 4K Ultra HD from Fox on that same day. Indeed, both titles are now available for pre-order on Amazon.com now. Click here to pre-order Alien: Covenant 4K and Blu-ray and here for Prometheus 4K. We're waiting on final cover artwork and the official studio announcement, but 8/15 does appear to be the official street date.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I do just love the cinema experience for films I'm really interested in.

At least that would push it past Japan's theatrical date.

I'm curious if many Japanese fans with region-free players would just buy the blu-ray instead of seeing it in theaters.  Then you'd have nice-looking blu-ray-ripped bootlegs hurting the box office gross too.

Got the same. Hope we're not going to be waiting long between regional releases.

Amazon UK updated my pre-order (and their website) with the release date of Sept 18th. Seems a more likely time frame.

No word on extras.

Covenant releases August 15th on DVD in the United States according to the distributor at work.

I love the steelbook art... but every time I look at it, I see Squidbillies: Volume Four.

Seriously bummed that Charles de Lauzirika isn't back for this but I'm hoping we get something comparable to his work on the Alien Anthology and Prometheus in this release. I'll shell out extra for an in depth doc if I have to. I did for the 3D Prometheus release despite not having a 3D player.

We're waiting to hear what the features will be.

Covenant will also be part of a six film boxed set. Will there be any new special features?
