Yeah, doesn't say exclusive art etc, so I bet this will be available from several stores. I hope Kimchi does it with a full slip

OK So it seems like zavvi screw me on this one, i pre-ordered on the 28 and recieved an email confirmation, just decided to check my zavvi account page and couldnt find this in my Outstanding Orders, i then looked under order history and found it - "cancelled".

WTF i am not too happy right now.

I am happy this movie is getting the steelbook treatment, especially because I also have the Futureshop Exclusive Sleeping Beauty steelbook, but, the 24.99GBP price tag (with shipping, 25.98GBP) is complete overkill. It better be at the same quality level as the Sleeping Beauty release for that price. I pre-ordered before it sold out, but may cancel if the price doesn't drop. I am hoping for a Best Buy USA or Futureshop Canada exclusive announcement, which will be substantially cheaper.
The one thing Zavvi has going for it with this steelbook is the cover, I like it a lot. I don't have a lot of white steelbooks. I think it could look great if it is done right.

Doesn't matter if Zavvi do reduce the price, they will still charge you the original high price. That's why on steels that haven't sold out many cancel and reorder at the new cheaper price.

If you preordered this at £25, then that's what you will pay.

, thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware of that. I have only ordered from Zavvi a few times, but not any pre-orders. I just assumed they would have a pre-order price guarantee like Amazon. My mistake.

If you order this at £25 and it changes to £20 before release you will pay £20 not £25 they do have pre order price promise

I've ordered a fair few that had pre release price drops and they charged me the original price. Why do you think many cancel and reorder if not sold out. Like me they know they will be charged the original price. Their T&C aren't worth anything.

Oh they say they have a guarantee in some items, but they aren't very good at honoring it.

even if the artwork on this isn't exclusive you can guarantee any debossing it has will be, courtesy of their crap packaging!!

Its very unlikely that there will be a price drop for this. There is no need for them to drop the price as it's already sold out!

Payment issue??? Unless using PayPal they shouldn't be taking payment for months yet!

Yet again more LIES by them! Sounds more like they are cancelling people's orders because they have accepted too many for the stock they will receive.

Did you order only 1 or more than 5

 

[Mrhoyt]

Just the 1.

 

[paulboland]

Just the 1.

In that case I cant explain what could have happened

It your order was only 1 title and qty of 1
And you ordered using credit card
I can't see what could have happened

 

[leelee17]

sounds to me like you're being fobbed off! all i can say is, keep an eye on their site to see if any become available......
