Can anyone tell me when the price changed to £19.99 as I ordered when it was £25 and that is what's been pulled from my card. Trying to figure out if I've been overcharged.
FYI guys,
All customers who have already ordered will receive an email about this price change and will automatically be charged the new reduced price of £19.99.
It’ll be available on site again at 18:00 tonight.

Have not think about re ordering, but i have check the price charge and it 25 GBP, and i sent them a message about that enormous errorContact Zavvi to refund you the difference as they don't do it automatically with the pre order price promise you have you contact them to get the reduction and they charge your card whatever your order price has and they don't change your order price like amazon do
The only issue you might have is if you used a discount code when you ordered at £25.00 pre order price promise don't apply as per their terms and conditions but I would in this case request refund the difference between £25.00 and £19.99
When Zavvi change the price I always re order at the lower price and cancel the dearer price order as they never apply the pre order price promise
You are not the only one many have received it including me.Regarding the price difference (GBP 24.99 / 19.99) I'm surprised that I appear to be the only one to have received the following message from Zavvi on the 3/11/15 at 6.21PM:-
"Dear Nicholas,
Thank you for ordering Reservoir Dogs - Mondo X Steelbook - UK Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook with Zavvi.
We just wanted to let you know that the price of this item has dropped to 19.99 GBP and in accordance with our pre-order price promise YOU WILL ONLY PAY THIS NEW LOWER PRICE.
If there is anything else that we can do . . . " blah, blah
Kind regards,

N.B. Block capitals are mine
Maybe those charged GBP 24.99 could check their in-boxes on or around the 3rd Nov. to check if they received a similar message and if so all they need to do is to remind Zavvi of that message and a fiver should be refunded anon
Regarding the steelbook itself: I had to cancel mine (too many other expenses) but I think it looks pretty darn good based on the in-hand pics and I must say I prefer the very slightly opaque slipcover as those very shiny slips don't half show up scratches - in my experience - and if not handled carefully can look shabby.
The fact that the BBFC stamps are ONLY on the back should be a cause for celebration I would think . . . no?
For me the slip should have been identical. Making it cloudy doesn't benefit anyone. It means it looks worse whether you open the Steelbook or not as most people willI keep it in the slip. It should have been clear like the US version.Regarding the price difference (GBP 24.99 / 19.99) I'm surprised that I appear to be the only one to have received the following message from Zavvi on the 3/11/15 at 6.21PM:-

I would expect the artwork under the slightly matte plastic slip to be slightly darker but also be more easily viewed in its entirety due to the absence of disturbing reflections from the light source . . .
Anyone in receipt of this could maybe advise if the whole package is factory sealed or just the steelbook.
Anyone with a copy of this opened and a copy of the U.S. edition also opened could maybe place both on a table on steelbook stands with suitable lighting aimed at them to see which looks "better".

If there's a reason for the different finish to the slips for The States and the slips for the U.K. I'd be interested to know what that is.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction.
Personally prefer the ONE ON THE RIGHT - less glare on the slip and clearer image of the steelbook underneath with more detail visible especially on the row of faces near the top and of the print underneath (such as on the "We buy gold" sign) - better contrast and sharper when zoomed in.
I'm thinking that maybe it's the same slip but given an anti-glare coating?
The slipcover artwork on the right is also better with the darker blood red giving better contrast to the print which means I can make that out easier.
One weird difference between them though (and I don't know if it has already been mentioned) is that the one on the right appears to be MISSING MOST OF THE WALL on the right side behind the "DOGS" part of the title (or do I need to pay a visit to the local optician?).
There is no comparison as far as I can see, the one on the left is far better. Colours are more vivid and detail is better. I very much doubt it would be an anti-glare coating, more than likely just a poor quality slip compared to the US version. The wall does seem to be very faint on the UK version though, it definatly looks different to the US version.Thanks for pointing me in that direction.
