I wonder if we'll see the usual "when did zavvi start charging for shipping" posts followed 10 minutes later by the "shipping removed" posts. Along with the "what's the discount code" post followed by the "not working for me", "worked for me", "code no longer working" posts. :LOL:

Well I guess not. Not at that price!

Yep! Right here, right now! Code appeared to be working for me briefly, but with 99p postage. Once it amended the postage, it took away the code! Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough to place the order at £32.48 (10% discount + 99p postage). Oh, well. If not exclusive and comes up on Zoom at same price will cancel Zavvi and reorder from Zoom with 10% code.
 
The Steelbook looks nice but it is overpriced. For a catalogue title this should be no more than £24.99. I know the amaray is expensive aswell but that comes with with a booklet and art cards.
 
. . . and @35 nicker we go beyond - by a whole fiver - the acceptable price of a fully loaded steelbook and almost into premium pricing . . .
