Got that too. And I ordered it Well before it was sold out. Has anyone gotten this notice and then gotten their order?!! I got this notice over and over for a month and a half on another order before I finally got one that said 'Sorry. Order cancelled'. I will be super pissed, because I was safely ordered a long time before it was sold out.
Zavvi should tell me it's not gonna happen or not, but at least let me know if I should be looking elsewhere...

Sorry that was meant more as an example rather than every solution to removing forced subs but I wasn't clear about that - I'm guessing his Panasonic is region free and allows 'user prohibited options' (like disabling forced subs) by default, I'm sure there are a few other players that allow this too, but don't know which they are. It's hard to find a region free bluray player in the UK else I'd have considered getting one myself in the past.

Yeah, that's why I'm going to investigate further. There also may well be a difference between companies processes.
Say tfi discs vs. Studio canal. But, if a region free player exists that can achieve this, I want one!
I'm sure as you know, different makes and models can vary drastically in what they can do!
Not too long ago, many solutions were had by getting the cheapest possible Blu player because the companies making them couldn't afford nor cared about putting in restrictions as they were not beholden to studios directly like the big manufacturers.

But I just got another mail from them that there is still no stock. Should I reorder and cancel the older one?

 

[paulboland]

Availability: Usually dispatched within a week

That means they don't have actual stock

 

[Gadget]

Wow, the availability of this release is up and down like a *****'s drawers (as my grandmother used to say)

 

[steelbobawny]

This release has been back on Amazon as well, that did not last very long though, interesting to see how long it stays available at Zavvi, it's almost as if they are selling it in bits to entice buyers.

 

[Norwichlad]

Still not sent. It was a strange release date

 

[augustus]

Available again at amazon.co.uk for £25, albeit they only have 1 left in stock.

I can only assume that Fox are sending these out to retailers in dribs and drabs.

EDIT: Now sold out again!

 

[xixhd]

[RickB84]

Maybe the delay was the fix the slip and how the tag line is half cut off
