Oh well, now that HMV have the Disney steelbooks we can finally get a break from all the Zavvi bashing.
Oh look, a non-Zavvi Disney steelbook with no title on the spine. Maybe it was Disney all this time making these decisions and not Zavvi.

Ooooo Cheeky cheeky of them for not putting the 3D disc in with the 4K. Well i have the 4K on digital and my 3D oled is still going and i really want to see this in 3D so 3D all the way for me 
Ordered the 3d version, still have a rig to watch it.
However, A is for Apple, A is for Avengers, A is for Avatar. Could have gone for broke on the spine and have square pictures of the Jake Sully Na'vi family harking back to them Marvel days that we all loved. Oh wait...

It's available with DV VOD and D+, yes. TBC if it's DV on disc or not. It doesn't say on the slip, but not all releases do. The press release didn't specify HDR type either, so we'll have to see.
Nice to have something new to give my 3D set-up a workout! 
Doesn’t have the logo but it does for Dolby Atmos. Here’s to hoping but looks unlikely.
There are a fair few that didn't have the DV logo, bond films from fox spring to mind. Alitta didn't in the UK either, even though it also had DV, neither did star wars ep8 and black panther. God god knows what disney will do.. It may well not have DV, but I did think Cameron may push for it. Have to see.
Fingers crossed, just that they emphasise Dolby Atmos next to ‘immersive audio’ and didn’t emphasise DV next to hdr is a little worrisome. I know other Disney releases like Moana only got HDR despite having DV on Disney+ .. still Moana looked better than the stream.
Disney have a standard template for 4K rears now, so it doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't think to edit it to say DV. Almost all their releases have atmos on anyway, so that's standard. They even keep atmos on there for some releases that don't lol
Back in the early days of steelbooks, Zavvi used to have forums and they made out they worked with the manufacturers on the design of steelbooks. I very much doubt they did. I don’t know why Disney just don’t stop producing steel books when you see the little effort put into this and those pitiful Disney 100 Star Wars steels. They are just laughable.
Prompts me to think about my Red Carpet membership. Just checked my orders, and I last had stuff from them back in November last year. My subscription gets charged in September, so it's just about been worth it so far since my last payment, but only just.
I won’t bother renewing mine if this exclusivity stops. To be honest I’d rather buy from HMV / Amazon. It’s as bad as Sky still charging £10 extra to see HD content.
