Just wish they chose the original poster art.

 

[Scary Hair]

@ digitlbabe I LOVE YOU .

MINE Watch thread AND remider .

 

[Sigill]

Not a fan of that artwork, it looks dull and there's a good chance it will be silver and not white!

 

[BluSteel2012]

Prepare to be €5 more expensive than the rest of Europe!

The bloke ripping his face off in the mirror would have been a better front art than this but love this movie so will prob buy this.

Zavvi can't really be held responsible for the strong pound. A year ago it would have been more expensive to order from Amazon.de due to the exchange rate, it is just one of those things.

Clearly in the minority but I like this. Carol Anne embodies the film so nice to have her on the front. If I wanted the original poster I would just keep my Amaray. Love the film btw, stinks of Spielberg and some of the scenes are timeless.

Film is brilliant ,a real sleeper when it came out ,that artwork is terrible though .....in my humble opinion

 

[yardman]

oh wow, cant wait for this,,

I agree but how many classic scenes they could have used with Carol Anne in and they choose this. Bad darts Zavvi

 

[schrute farms]

Horrible artwork choice. Hopefully they go with the original poster art of Carol Ann touching the TV - with Carol Ann embossed.

PASS.

 

[rj531]

the back art should have been the front..

 

[schrute farms]

I just now saw the back and inside art. GEEZ, there are other actors beside the little girl!

 

[funkydamo]

Gonna stick with my US digibook. maybe if it looks good in hand i might bite.

 

[vläd]

Looks like the same steel as the German version. And personally, I think that a silver, or metal, version could be interesting.

 

[Xenomorph]

I really love this movie,
but I am also not so keen on the artwork, if the back artwork is final they should have chosen this for the front.
Let's wait if the german or the Uk will have dutch subs, otherwise I might go for the US digibook

Zavvi can't really be held responsible for the strong pound. A year ago it would have been more expensive to order from Amazon.de due to the exchange rate, it is just one of those things.

But if a steelbook is available elsewhere for say €15, why can't Zavvi retail it at the same price with the equivalent of that in GBP?

It's an English company but the British public are taking their business elsewhere because they can get the same steelbook cheaper in Euro. At the end of tbe day it's the UK that's getting ripped off.

Doesn't make any sense, but nothing does with Zavvi.

Hmmmm white or silver?! After 2001 I'm going to wait for some in hand pics. Shame the back is not the front... So much more iconic!

Totally agree. Cover art should be reversed. Back credits could have been put on the blanket.
