it was 19.99 in hmv newcastle,they had about 5 left. its a nice steel, kept looking and picking up. thought nah wont get it then when i was home i changed me mind.might well pop back tomorrow
 
Just got mine from Zavvi, really fast delivery :O wasnt expecting it untill sometime next week. Came in a cardboard envelope, but it wasnt damaged in any way. It looks really good :) I'm very pleased.
 
Amazon sent in the same padding-free envelope. Fortunately unscathed, and a beauty in-hand.

The extras don't line up with the 2-disc US release, so I'm wondering if anyone in the UK has compared theirs?

Thanks so much for the rundown. I thought I was missing something because someone had posted that the discs would be identical to previous releases.

Are these new UK discs the same as earlier UK releases, or did those match the US counterpart?

i just ordered mine from fox direct for 17.99 as i wont get to go to hmv for a while. i get the feeling this might go like the play.com version and go oop before you know it and then its stupid ebay prices again


Although this will undoubtedly prove to be a popular release and like all things limited, it will eventually go out of print, it's unlikely to have the same scarcity value as the previous release, which was a play.com exclusive.

The new release has a wider availability and is also being released in Italy and Korea.

That said, you were right to go for it and I speak as someone who already owns the play.com release. It looks a beautiful steelbook and is a 2 blu-ray disc set, whereas the earlier release was a single blu-ray plus DVD combo.

I have my copy on order from amazon.it where it retails for only Eur 16.03, about £5.50 cheaper than amazon.co.uk!
