Gran Torino (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter digitalbabe
- Start date
Great film, but yeah... not paying the usual £15+ for an exact copy of an old steelbook, so here's hoping it's £10 or less (April Fools is over, I know).
This is the same as the one listed at Amazon.fr for 14-99 euros.
Thye're also releasing Unforgiven and Mystic River (oddly Zavvi don't list Mystic) - 25th June release in France. So I guess that's where the other 2,000 copies have gone
There's also a digital copy with the French ones.

Yawn
No offence but these so-called new Eastwood steels are more than rubbish.
Do not get me wrong, this is a pretty good movie but when you look at the movies that he has done - This is one of the two that we get?
Unforgiven = Great Film (art is old ****)
Grand Torino = Ok Film (same art as US + actual inside art)
I'm not even going to bother listing the movies that they could have done, it's just really....you know what I can't be bothered its just boring that's all.

love this film but really not shore on the blue banner on the front a bit of a put off hope that is not on the release copy

It's most likely part of the J-card.
I would really like to get this, but the price is too high for such bland artwork. Will wait for a price drop I think. They should of gone with the original UK artwork I think
The Blu banner is the Jcardlove this film but really not shore on the blue banner on the front a bit of a put off hope that is not on the release copy
Its not on the steelbook itself
Its just the standard Warner Jcard all the other UK warner steelbooks are the same they have the Blu Banner on the Jcard

Artwork noting to do with Zavvi
Its a Warner Release in UK/France and other countries
This steelbook is been released in other countries
Same Artwork France/Germany
Its a shared release that's why its limited to 2,000 in the UK
Zavvi just have the retail exclusive for the UK
Its from Amazon and other retailers in the other countries
It wouldn't hurt them to say "no" every now and again though.
Been in the game for a while and i do realise what your saying buddy.
My point is.. Zavvi are happy to distribute 'any old iron'. That makes them as much part of the problem than the solution.
Hence why all your catalogue title's in steelbook form are going for inflated prices at the pre-order stage.
People need to calm down.

Decided I'm going to wait for the inevitable price drop on this one
Most Zavvi steelbooks I pre-order get reduced shortly after release and I'm not too fussed as I buy the films I enjoy in editions I love
Although I very much enjoy this movie I can wait for it, will bite at £10 or less

All steelbook releases don't come with you must purchase this
All steelbook releases worldwide you decide if you want to make a purchase or not some will want and some wont its that's simple
Most will wait for a price drop and some will pre order it depends on how quickly a person wants it or not
Others will decide not to purchase
I rather see a steelbook release happen than not happen

Yeah, can't really blame Zavvi just for selling this. If they didn't carry it, some other retailer would and people would just be giving out about them instead!
I can understand why the 'home of steelbooks' has exclusivity.
What I don't agree with is their pricing for back catalogue titles. Preorder prices are just too much at zavvi. They should at least be inline with Amazon France and Germany.
That's where I've been taking my business to instead lately.

reason pre-order prices are high people just keep biting on anything and as long as that happens zavvi just going to make them high to start with and drop them if they have too its basic unfourantely and secures them a bigger profit by doing it that way.
but i think the point sgmido was trying to make was everyone keeps jumping on everything regardless of quality and that is not helping improve the product or the price starting point and as along as this behaviour continues nothing will change regards towards zavvi and the studio releasing from reading between the lines.
and people should vote with there feet a bit more.
