Ordered. Glad I waited for one with English text I nearly got the German one not long ago

 

[huggy2k4]

Pre-ordered also but discount code didn't work for me but £14.99 is still a good price. I'm just glad that I can add it to my Terminator collection for the full set .

ZVC5 seems to work.

Pre-ordered for the time being, I wonder what the print run is for this?

 

[Bobthesub]

Almost forgot about this. Finally my terminator steelbook collection will be complete

Almost forgot about this. Finally my terminator steelbook collection will be complete

Least until the new film gets a steelbook.

And ordered.

 

[javiermendoza]

It is.

Have you got a better code for zavvi.de?

Nope. Used a welcome code. If I had a better code I would share it. Remember, people, sharing is caring

 

[Blayze17]

ahhhhhh finally!! ordered!

 

[Geek Tragedy]

This film is just god awful and such a horrible, horrible insult to my brain. It should have killed the franchise.

Ordered.

The 27th July release date is a case of Sony's marketing team employing a gimmick.

In T2, Judgement Day was the 29th August 1997. However, due to the destruction of Cyberdyne's premises in that film, the timeline was altered and Judgement Day was averted, at least temporarily.

In T3, Judgement Day, deemed inevitable, ultimately takes place on the 25th July 2004. Hence the release date of the 27th July 2015, ie the Monday closest to its anniversary!

It's probably a case of Sony being too clever for its own good since the significance of the date will probably be lost on most people, due to T3 not having the acclaim or love of its two predecessors. It might be a case where bringing the release date forward to the beginning of July, to cash in on the theatrical release of Genisys, might actually generate more sales for them.

The Terminator franchise began and ended for me with Cameron.

Only reason I saw this was Danes and Loken, and the only reason I'll see the new one is Miss Clarke.

Pass on this. Will await Filmarena announcing their version which will hopefully place heavier emphasis on Lokens Terminator than Arnie otherwise pass on that too!

 

[Kuzco]

Thanks for the code ZVC5 worked for me

 

[lgans316]

Pass. Will buy when the price drops. Feeling better and cured by not pre-ordering especially with Zavvi.

 

[jeffster15]

Ordered for now, will wait on Filmarena.

 

[javiermendoza]

I can't believe this hasn't sold out yet.
Finally, a UK version and it's not selling out

I really think you're giving these people too much credit, I imagine the date is more to do with maximising profits by releasing close to the release of the new film (which is probably why there are so many Terminator steels coming out at the moment).
