I get you now, I misunderstood, I thought you meant that the studio for example said to Zavvi that they MUST sell this at £21.99, which I thought sounded strange. In the business I'm in, which granted is a totally different industry, we have the same structure, like a lot of businesses we get certain discounts on products of which obviously dictates to how much we can sell for, of which is totally our choice, but if a competitor gets a better discount form the supplier, they can sell it for a bit less as they have the better buying power and can shift more product. With that in mind, you can see this happens with steelbooks also, Zavvi sell X at pre order whilst Amazon can sell it at higher or lower than X dependent on their terms with the supplier, which is really what I was getting at originally, apologies I have had a bit to drink!Yes correct-the studio can dictate the amount that has to be charged (ie not to "devalue" product psychologically etc), and if price from studio is high to begin with, retailer price may in turn be high. Not sure if that is case here but studios have say on this aspect. For these particular titles, I was told final info was still forthcoming from studio as of this am. Prices often are placeholders. Also depends on what retailers are allowed to "buy in" at from studio or distributor. Discount structure/contracts can vary substantially depending on variety of factors including how much power retailer has to move units in marketplace.

They went live at just before midnight (0.00 am)And they are now live as we speak at 6am in the morning. Is that the earliest they have ever went live?
I thought someone else would have these cheaper than Zavvi. Am I being a tight arse, am I only one still finds these to be too expensive?Amazon UK have all six. Now live at £18.99 each.
Nope. Should be £14.99 each. I'll wait it outI thought someone else would have these cheaper than Zavvi. Am I being a tight arse, am I only one still finds these to be to expensive?
That's only if you take the option of ordering the free Dredd Badge which you must add to the cart if you want it£113.94 if all bought individually from Amazon which is currently the cheapest price.
Zavvi sell all 6 for £129.99 but with a 10% discount (code: VB10OFF) this brings it down to £116.99 BUT read the small print, there is a £6 non refundable deposit when ordering the 6 bundle from Zavvi
That's only if you take the option of ordering the free Dredd Badge which you must add to the cart if you want it
If you don't add to the cart the Dredd Badge you wont have any £6.00 Deposit to pay
When I saw the "deal", I thought exactly the same. Seems like they're clutching at straws offering random bits of non-related memorabilia "free"....What has A Dredd Bage got to do with Star Wars ? .
I'm in the Dredd camp and he was never in Star Wars . Sure that the Star Wars bunch where NEVER mentioned in AD 2000 .
Do I have Star Wars ? NO
Do I want Star Wars ? NO
For those that do I hope they are everything you wish for .
