The biggest live-action X-Men team-up is finally here and just in time to save the world from the first ever mutant known as En Sabah Nur. The 1980s set X-Men: Apocalypse opened in theaters in May and arrives on Digital HD on Sept. 9, 2016 followed by its debut on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD & DVD Oct. 4, 2016.
At San Diego Comic-Con two weeks ago - alongside this year's fellow X-film Deadpool which had exclusive signed-by-Ryan Reynolds copies of its Blu-ray - was director Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse with a "challenge"room on display (a first for SDCC) dubbed the X-Men: The Tomb of Apocalypse X-perience. Fans were able to exclusively pre-order a limited edition Dazzler vinyl cover of the DVD/Blu-ray while costumes from the film were on display. But there's more coming for home video aficionados, including a cool exclusive from Best Buy.
Best Buy has their own exclusive SteelBook packaging for the release of X-Men: Apocalypse which depicts the titular antagonist with Egyptian hieroglyphs artwork reminiscent one of the film's best posters (pictured at bottom of post):
